The second offer includes Moto Pulse headsets worth Rs. 2599 at just Rs. 749 and finally the users can get an additional 20% off during the Flipkart end-of-season sale. @evleaks has also revealed in the past that Motorola is working on these new budgeted smartphones from the Moto C series. The leakster also shared some images from the devices that confirm black, white, gold and red colour options for both of the phones.
Motorola Mobility India MD Sudhin Mathur said commenting on the launch of the device in India, “According to the reports fewer people are expected to upgrade to smartphones because of concerns over price, need and ability to use. We see this as a huge opportunity for a brand like us to initiate the smartphone journey for feature phone users.” This new budgeted Moto device also comes with 4G VoLTE support and comes with Dual-SIM support as well making it tough for its competitors in the Indian market.
