Motorola Moto G launch details for India to be announced on February 5

The highly anticipated launch of the Moto G has been delayed to the next month, contrary to earlier reports that claimed it will be launched by the end of this month.

Recent reports said last week that the much-awaited Moto G launch will finally happen by the end of this month. But Motorola has just confirmed via Twitter that the India launch details of the Moto G will be announced on February 5.

Motorola said in a tweet,"Moto G launch details for India will be announced on February 5. Stay tuned!" Unfortunately, the Google-owned company has revealed no other details about the Moto G.  William Moss, director of corporate communication at Motorola Mobility, said "it is going to be price competitive... if you look at what the device offers, the kind of responsiveness and performance it has, Moto G will be competitive with its peers."
At an event a few months back, Motorola launched the Moto G in several markets including Brazil and U.S, aimed at budget buyers. The smartphone will be available in two storage variants – 8GB and 16GB. The 8GB variant is priced a $179 (Rs. 11,300 approx.) and the 16GB variant is priced at $199 (Rs. 12,500 approx.). In India, Motorola will launch a dual-SIM variant of the smartphone.
