Motorola Moto G delayed for India, to come in January-end
As if it wasn't enough that the Moto G launched way early in the US than expected, making us believe that we might get it earlier in India as well, now we are hearing that it might take till January end to make an appearance. Motorola replied to user comments on its Facebook page saying that the Moto G will be heading to India by the month end, and that they should wait for more details.
The reasons are clear, Motorola does not have any presence in India. Some time back they closed up shop and went away, so it would definitely take some to get the necessary marketing tie-ups and outsourced service networks to be brought upto speed before they launch a much anticipated device. Although its a good things that Google/Motorola are taking their time to sort out these details, since Indian manufacturers rarely take the time to consider after sales service an important part of customer satisfaction.
Motorola will be releasing both the single and dual-SIM variants of the Moto G in India, just like what Sony did with the Xperia M. Although there is no information on price, the single-SIM variant would be priced around Rs. 13000 while the dual-SIM variant around Rs. 15,000. It remains to be seen whether both 8 GB and 16 GB storage variants will be available.
