We are not sure if the Moto G5 Plus global launch yesterday lived to your expectations or not, but this clearly the most awaited smartphone in India as of today. And if you have been holding up patiently for its India launch, you won’t have to wait much longer!

Lenovo will be officially launching the Moto G5 Plus (and maybe even the G5) in India on March 15th.

You either get a flaunt-worthy phone or a fast processor. #WhyCompromise when you can get both? Wait for the #MotoG5Plus.

It comes in three memory options: 2GB RAM/3GB/ 4GB and two different storage variants – 32GB/64GB. The Indian models of the new Moto phones are expected to feature a dual SIM card slot alongside a dedicated microSD card slot.
