After partnering with Amazon for last year’s Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus, Lenovo has decided that this year it will opt Flipkart as their exclusive selling partner for their upcoming device Moto G5 Plus. The smartphone will be launched on 15th March in India and will likely compete with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 or the much awaited Nokia 6.
The Chinese handset manufacturer unveiled the device last month at the MWC 2017 in Barcelona. Lenovo priced the Moto G5 (2GB RAM and 32GB storage) at EUR 199, while 3GB RAM and 32GB storage option for Moto G5 Plus comes with a price tag of EUR 279. We don’t know the Indian Pricing yet but we expect Lenovo to price of the device similar to the Moto G4 Plus.
