Moto X to launch in India in “Next Few Weeks”

R

At a Motorola event here at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the company just announced that the Moto X is expected to make its way to India and Australia within the next few weeks. This device would follow up on the heels of the Moto G that was launched earlier this month.

pecifications:

1.7Ghz dual core Snapdragon S4 Pro
Android 4.4 KitKat
4.7 inch 720p display
2GB RAM, 16GB ROM
2200 mAh
10MP Clear Pixel camera, 2MP front facing camera
Bluetooth 4.0
WiFi b/g/n/ac, GPS, GLONASS
NFC
nano SIM

Given the extremely competent pricing of the Moto G, we’re quite excited to see how Motorola plans to price the Moto X. The Moto X recently got a price cut to $399 which is a 100 USD lower than the erstwhile $499 price point. Motorola also has a very cool Moto Maker service that allows buyers to customize their devices however there is no word so far if this would be launched in India.

Oh god why. Bought Nexus 5 waiting for this to launch and now when I bought Nexus 5 now they are launching it in India.

You made a good choice.Live with it happily !
Nexus 5 is a premium Google phone!
Have you seen that there is any competition between N5 & MotoX?

Only pros of MotoX are-
-New voice assistance
-Customisation

Otherwise the phone sucks!

Moto X have similar hardware of xperia SP except 1 extra GB RAM and pricing it at 400$ is almost 24k ....it will be neck to neck competition from XZR and XZL ...

its price should be around 20k else its a just-another-launch

Have you used the voice assistance? I used it on my Bro-in-law moto x. And believe me it is a awesome thing to have on your phone.
And that was the only reason I am going to buy it. My nexus 5 will be on sale after the moto x launch.

^^ You are going to regret the decision.

They are segments apart. I dont think $hadow cares though. I must say, people can watch out for a N5 sale and may be benefit out of the deal ^^

I am not comparing them. It is just that 5 inches are giving me some problems with carrying around. It has got good ergonomics but I want something smaller. May be I stick with Nexus 5 and replace my s3 with moto x.

Dude, 4.7 v 5 is not a big difference.

3.7-4.3 is the perfect size to handle...4.5-5 all almost same size ...thats the reason sony released Z1 compact

May be but 4.7 is what I found to be perfect for my one hand operation whereas on nexus 5 I struggle to do so.

You remind me of my stint with Note 2. I am so happy to be using a Nexus 5 now

i think they will price it at 18-20k .. the us version was assembled in usa hence high cost.. now i think they are assembling in china so it will be cheaper.. also note it went for 300$ in usa for a brief period .. also now it is quite old phone so there will be price drop as well..

if that happens then this will be the most powerful phone for under 20k..

Still not a competition against Optimus G E970 which I bought for under Rs 14k

Official KK vs Official JB that too 4.1
Yeah yeah I know it has custom ROMs but official support shows dedication to the customer
And AMOLED screen and better camera lol

I would Love to get a N5.
So ping me if anyone sells for less than 50% off.

lol why are you even comparing an imported phone with official launch phone ? those 2 are incomparable..

we already have many horror stories of pantech burst..

its a matter of chance if it works good it is great , if it dies then you'll regret buying it..

P.s- if i were to buy a phone today it would have be optimus G itslef.. but i am being objective here those 2 aren't comparable

*www.zauba.com/import-moto-x-hs-code.html

the import price for

moto x - 19k

so price would be around 23500-24000 which is too expensive i guess for 1 year old phone.. thoughts ?

it should have been 19k retail itself not more than that.. else better buy Xperia SP for performance or galaxy grand 2 for camera

Was considering to get this phone. Wondering if it will be cheaper to get it from the U.S. Can i get an unlocked version from USA if i get a person to bring it to India(Talking about the 32gb model, 16gb is too less)

Moto X to launch in India on Wednesday carrying a Rs. 23,999 price tag

Motorola's Moto X has reached Indian shores and will be available at Rs. 23,999.
As NDTV Gadgets exclusively reported last week, the phone will go on sale starting Wednesday, 19 March. Flipkart announced the news on Twitter and said, "Big news! The #MotoX will start at Rs. 23999 and is releasing tomorrow!"

Flipkart further revealed that the Motorola's 2013 flagship smartphone will be available in five colour variants, while the wood back version will be retailing at Rs. 25,999.

Flipkart also confirmed in response to a query on Twitter that the 32GB variant of the Moto X has not been planned for the country and the e-commerce website will only be selling the 16GB model of the Moto X in India.

The online retailer has also revealed few launch day offers for the Moto X which includes flat 70 percent off on Moto X cases, on purchase of Moto X smartphone.

In addition, Flipkart has revealed that the Moto X will go on sale during the day, and will not be a midnight release. About the colour variants, the online retailer has confirmed that the Black and White colour variants of Moto X will be in stock on March 19, while other colour options will be available on pre-order.

The Moto X launch comes a few weeks after the successful launch of budget smartphone Moto G (Review) in the country, also via Flipkart.

The Moto X, a customisable Android smartphone was launched in August last year and was initially available in US only. The smartphone natively ran Android 4.2 Jelly Bean; however Motorola rolled out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update in November last year.

As of now, there is no word from Motorola or Flipkart, whether the Moto X releasing in India on March 19 will run Android 4.4.2 out-of-the-box.

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, which is non-expandable. It also sports a 10-megapixel rear camera accompanied by an LED flash and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera.

What do you guys think ? is Moto X @ 24k Correctly priced or Overpriced slightly ?

Time to Convert this thread into a "Moto X Discussion Thread " !!

Its OverPriced.

Moto lost it this time. I am out, would buy s4 by just adding few more bucks.

i think the correct price could be like this :

16gb Variant @ 20k
32gb Variant ( sadly no plans on selling it in india .

) @22k ??

Its still will be overpriced ... look at the Moto G !!

Dejected and disappointed.. Was hoping the 16gb version price would be couple of thousands lower. Also no plans to sell 32gb model is surprising. Pass!

Dude, 4.7 v 5 is not a big difference.

Just compare Lg Optimus L9 or nexus 4 with grand 1 or 2. Its a big difference.

The price should have been around ₹ 20000. Anything above that, game over for Moto.

bingo.......!!

i was exactly right about the pricing...

Time to Convert this thread into a "Moto X Discussion Thread " !!

no need there will be only few unaware buyers who will buy it at that price and unaware buyers don't exist on tdf...

there are so many options for this price range and soon all prices of old mobiles are going to fall .. moto x is opposite of moto G

24k is for white and black only ... whereas the wood back is 26k

they should have given Moto Maker option at that price.

its launching today at 11am for 23999
got mail from fk
