Motorola One Action Price and Availability
Motorola has failed to price its products aggressively in the subcontinent in the recent past. The last aggressively priced smartphone from the Lenovo-owned group was the One Power. The One Vision launched in India recently for Rs. 19,990 (~$280) and almost immediately received a price cut of Rs. 2,000 (~$28). The One Action is expected to be priced right above the Vision when it launches in India this week. As for the international market, the One Action is priced at 259 euros (~$288). The official price for India will be revealed at the launch event on Aug. 23.
