Motorola has decided to announce the arrival of the Moto C in India just a day after the launch of the Moto Z2 Play internationally. The budget handset first came out in the open back in May this year side-by-side with the Moto C Plus.
Motorola has unveiled a number of Moto C models, differing mainly on the basis of internal memory and 3G or 4G connectivity. For India, it’s brought along a 4G VoLTE variant that packs 16GB of ROM. The company’s going for a slightly different approach for the device’s release, stating that it’ll only be sold via offline outlets.
Motorola usually focuses on the online sector, so opting for an offline-heavy strategy is a new tactic. The Moto C is ideal for this since it’s aiming for feature phone users looking to buy their first smartphone. It’s been priced at Rs 5999 with this in mind.
