Lenovo-owned Motorola unveiled the new Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus at an MWC 2017 event in Barcelona last week. And now, the company is gearing up for an Indian launch for the successor to Moto G4 from 2016.
The official twitter handle for Motorola India teased the launch of Moto G5 Plus for the Indian market in a tweet. It read a March 15 launch for the new generation Moto G.
You either get a flaunt-worthy phone or a fast processor. #WhyCompromise when you can get both? Wait for the #MotoG5Plus.

For those who don’t know, Moto G5 Plus sports a 5.2-Inch Full HD IPS display with 1920 X 1080 pixel resolution. The new handset is powered by 14nm architecture-based 64-bit class Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core SoC (System-on-Chip) and 2 Gigs of RAM. It will come in two storage variants of 32 GB and 64 GB.

Moto G5 Plus Cost in India
There is no info on the Indian pricing yet, but we believe it will be a bit lower than the international pricing unveiled at the MWC event last week. The Moto G5 Plus costs $229 (approx. €216/Rs 15,289) with 2GB RAM/32GB storage and $279 (approx. €263/Rs 18,627) with 3GB RAM/32GB storage in the US. It will be interesting to see the pricing Motorola chooses for the new smartphone as the Redmi Note 4 currently costs Rs. 13,999 in India.
As of now, Motorola hasn’t announced the online retail partner for the new G series offering. Last year, Moto went with Amazon India, and the year prior to that, the company went with Flipkart. Hence, if Motorola is adopting the alternate strategy, we might see the smartphone to go on sale via Flipkart.
Still, all these details haven’t been confirmed, but come March 15, we shall have all the details.
