Moto X 'coming soon' to India says Flipkart; 19 March launch likely

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, we 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.
The phone original shipped with Android 4.2, but
received the Android 4.4 KitKat update last year.
