Microsoft has planned the event perfectly to launch the Lumia 630 in India just ahead of Motorola's Moto E launch on May 13th. Although the Lumia 630 is expected to be priced above Rs. 10000 with an MRP of about Rs. 11999, Windows Phone has started to get a considerable following in India thanks to the success of the Lumia 520 and Lumia 525. What remains to be seen is whether the Lumia 630 is able to steal Moto E's thunder.
