While the Edge 20 Pro is available in overseas market for a price of 699 Euros, which roughly translates to about 60,360 INR, the company might cut some features to lower the price of the device in India.

Motorola’s Moto G9 Plus gets BIS Certification; India launch imminent

Balaji S — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 15:02:58 +0000

Motorola has already announced that it will launch the Moto G 5G smartphone in India on November 30. Now, the company could also be bringing the Moto G9 Plus that launched in Brazil and UK to India as the device has appeared on the country’s BIS certification website.

As reported by MySmartPrice, two Motorola devices with model numbers XT2083-7, XT2087-3 are listed on the BIS database. Accordingly, the XT2087-3 could just be a variant of the Moto G9 Plus for India. This is because a device with a similar model number(XT2087-1) earlier visited TÜV Rheinland and FCC certifications. It later turned out to be the Moto G9 Plus for European markets.

Besides, if we recall, Motorola had launched the non-Plus smartphone, Moto G9 long back in India. This device also launched as the Moto G9 Play, and Lenovo K12 Note in countries like UK, and Saudi Arabia respectively. However, we think that the Plus variant will carry the same G9 Plus moniker in India as usual.

Motorola Moto G9 Plus Specifications

Talking about the specs, Moto G9 Plus features a 6.8-inch FHD+ LCD display. According to Motorola, it is a Max Vision Display and has a resolution of 2400×1080 pixels, 386 PPI, and 89.4% screen-body ratio. The device in the UK comes in Blush Gold and Navy Blue colors.

Under the hood, it is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G SoC. This is paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. You can also expand the storage via a MicroSD card up to 512GB. Additionally, Adreno 610 GPU handles the graphic duties.

For cameras, you get a quad-rear camera setup with 64MP f/1.8 main lens, 8MP ultra-wide with 118° FOV, two 2MP f/2.2 macro, and depth sensors. Upfront, there is a 16MP f/2.0 selfie shooter tucked under the top-left punch-hole.

Other specifications include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery with 30W TurboPower charging, Android 10. It also has 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, water-repellent design, 3.5mm audio jack, USB-C, GPS, NFC for connectivity.

Sean — Thu, 26 Nov 2020 10:22:16 +0000

Motorola India has just confirmed the launch date of its upcoming 5G smartphone in India. The Moto G 5G is a mid range handset that supports the newer and faster bandwidth and will launch of 30th November 2020.

Earlier today (26th November 2020), the company shared a tweet on Twitter, which revealed the launch date of the smartphone and more. The device will be available from 12pm IST and will be available from Flipkart, a popular Indian e-retailing website that operates similar to Amazon. For those unaware, India has yet to adopt 5G networking at the moment and is planning to hold trials in certain regions soon. Despite this, a few 5G enabled devices have already been launched in the country, but the OnePlus Nord is one of the few in the mid range segment so far.

Now, the Moto G 5G will arrive in similar price tag and will compete with the Chinese brand with its own mid range 5G enabled smartphone. At present the OnePlus Nord is the cheapest 5G smartphone in India, but the Moto G 5G could undercut it by a slight margin. While the exact pricing details are currently unknown, it is being speculated that the device will be priced around 24,999 INR (roughly 338 US Dollars). Notably, the device sports a more powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G processor over the Snapdragon 765G on the Nord.

The launch will arrive just ahead of the Diwali festival season. Notably, the company had also recently launched the Moto G9 and E7 Plus in the region.

Promo materials reveal Motorola One Macro launches October 9

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 13:15:01 +0000

The Motorola One Macro is an upcoming smartphone with quad rear cameras. Last week, we reported that the phone may launch this week in India but we didn’t have a specific date. While Motorola India is yet to confirm the launch date, leaked promo materials have revealed the device will indeed be unveiled this week on Wednesday, October 9.

The leaked promo materials which were posted on Twitter by Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) reveal that the Motorola One Macro will be unveiled on Wednesday, October 9.

The materials also mention features such as lag-free multitasking, rapid charging, a processor with power-efficient performance and of course, macro photography. No specific details about the phone’s specs were mentioned.

Seeing as there are only two days left to the launch, it is surprising that Motorola itself hasn’t announced the launch date. The last post on the official Motorola India Twitter account was on Friday, the 4th of October and it was a teaser for the upcoming phone. The official Instagram account is no different.

Motorola Plans To Boost Offline Presence In India With 1,000 Moto Hubs

Jeet — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 14:20:37 +0000

Motorola is looking to expand its presence in India, one of the largest smartphone markets in the world. The company is especially planning to expand its offline presence where the company doesn’t have wide presence.

The Lenovo-owned company is reportedly planning to establish about 1,000 Moto Hubs across the country. Recently, the company launched 25 Moto Hubs in Kolkata and prior to that, it had opened 50 Moto Hubs in Delhi.

The Moto Hub store houses the entire portfolio of Motorola devices including all the online exclusives models such as the Moto X4, Moto Z-series and more. In addition to smartphones, the Moto Hubs will be selling accessories such as headphones, Moto Mods, shells and case covers. Further, the customers can also experience all the products and can even purchase these products.

Commenting on this development, Sudhin Mathur, Managing Director of Motorola Mobility India revealed that the hubs will surely boost the overall revenue from offline markets to 50 percent. However, Mr. Mathur believes that the can be achieved only after the establishment of 1,000 Moto Hubs. The company hasn’t provided an estimated time frame for the opening of the hubs.

Earlier, the company had partnered with Poorvika Mobiles across 43 cities in Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry, and Karnataka. It had also partnered with Big C and Lot Mobile across 55 cities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to provide retail access to consumers.

This is an interesting shift of strategy given that the company entered the Indian market a few years ago with an online-only business model in partnership with India’s homegrown online marketplace Flipkart. After Motorola, many companies adopted the same strategy in order to compete with the company’s value-for-money offerings in the budget segment.

Currently, Motorola is gearing up to launch its next-generation Moto G-series smartphones. The company will be launching three models in the G-series — Moto G6, G6 Plus, and G6 Play. Similarly, Motorola will be launching three models in the E-series as well, which includes Moto E5, E5 Plus, and E5 Play.

As of now, there is no information available regarding the launch date and pricing of the upcoming E5 and G6 series. But, we are expecting this new Moto E5 series to make its debut at some point in the second quarter later this year. On the other hand, the G-series devices from Motorola are also expected to launch in the Q2 2018.

Motorola Launches Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus In India

Habeeb Onawole — Tue, 29 Aug 2017 17:44:42 +0000

Lenovo has officially taken the wraps off the Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus in India Today. Both devices are Special (read upgraded) versions of the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus.

Moto G5S

The Moto G5S gets a bigger 5.2-inch full HD display covered with Gorilla Glass 3. The Indian variant of the Moto G5S gets 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage unlike the variant released in Europe that has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The processor remains the Snapdragon 430 though.

The Moto G5S also gets upgraded cameras. There is a 16MP rear camera with PDAF and an 8MP front facing camera with flash according to the official Motorola India Twitter account. However the Motorola India website says it has a 5MP front facing camera just like the European version.

The battery has been bumped up to 3000mAh and there is TurboPower that provides up to 5 hours of battery life for just 15 minutes of charge. There is also a front-mounted fingerprint reader that doubles as a navigation button. However it doesn’t have NFC like the version for Europe.

The biggest upgrade in the Moto G5S is its all metal-unibody design which looks better than the plastic body of the Moto G5.

Moto G5S Price

The Moto G5S is priced at INR 13,999 (~$219) and is available in Lunar Grey and Fine Gold. Not only does India get better specs, they also have it for cheaper. The Moto G5S costs Euros 249 (~$295) in Germany.

Moto G5S Plus

The Moto G5S Plus is the upgrade to the Moto G5 Plus. It features a redesigned all metal-unibody and has a bigger 5.5-inch 1080p display.The processor is still the Snapdragon 625 and it has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.

The major upgrade in the Moto G5S Plus is the addition of dual rear cameras. The G5S Plus has two 13MP rear cameras in the Monochrome + RGB format with a 3D depth sensor for bokeh effects.

The front camera is an 8MP sensor with a dedicated LED flash, panorama mode and Pro mode. There is a fingerprint scanner up front long with NFC for mobile payments.

The Moto G5S Plus has the same 3000mAh battery as the Moto G5S but will last up to 6 hours when you charge for just 15 minutes with the TurboPower charger.

Both the Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus have a water repellent nano-coating that protects against splashes. They run Android 7.1 Nougat with the usual Moto Display and Moto Actions additions. Motorola India says the G5S Plus will be upgraded to Android Oreo. We want to believe it applies to the G5S too.

Moto G5S Plus Price

The Moto G5S Plus comes in Lunar Grey and Blush Gold and will sell for INR 15,999 (~$250). Compare that to the European version which has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage but sells for €279 ($330).

The Moto G5S Plus will be available for purchase starting tonight at 11:59 Pm on Amazon India. Like the trend in India, there are a number of offers included:

If you trade in your old Motorola phone, you get INR 1,000 off.
All credit cards are entitled to a no-cost EMI.
Jio users get up to 50GB of 4G data.
A price reduction on the Moto sports headphones, INR 499 instead of INR 1,599.
80% off (up to INR 300) on the Amazon Kindle app.

Motorola has indicated that it targets the opening of 50 Moto Hubs across major towns and cities in India before the end of their current fiscal year.

The Moto brand has got a rich array of new products that would be on sale at the Moto Hubs. Models such as the Moto E, Moto C, Moto G range, as well as Moto Z2 play. The stores will also have on sale the Moto MODs along with Motorola branded accessories such as headphones, Moto shells, phone covers and pouches.
