Late last month, Motorola said that the Moto X was headed to
India and Australia within 'next few weeks'. Now, Flipkart, which exclusively
launched the Motorola Moto G in India, has confirmed that the 'Moto X is coming
soon'. The tweet also promises exciting launch day offers, similar to ones seen
with the Moto G India launch in February.
While there is no official word from Flipkart on the exact
launch date, Viralrays has learnt from its sources that the Moto X is likely
to go on sale next week, starting 19 March.
Motorola launched the Moto X back in August last as an
Android smartphone that users can customise via its website called Moto Maker.
Flipkart confirmed in response to a query that users in India will not get a
chance to customise their phone, and said the phone "will come with a
fixed set of five colours & two wood variants."
Moto X was launched in the US carrying a $579 (Rs. 35,000
approximately), but the price was recently slashed to $399 (Rs. 24,000
approximately). While a sub-Rs. 25,000 price tag in India would be ideal, it's
more likely that the phone will be priced around the Rs. 28,000 mark.
The Moto X features a 4.7-inch display with a resolution of
720x1280 pixels. It is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960Pro
Snapdragon processor along with 2GB of RAM. There is 16GB of inbuilt storage.
It also sports a 10-megapixel rear camera accompanied by an LED flash and a
2-megapixel front-facing camera.
