The phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop and promises up to a decent battery life with its 2470mAh battery under the hood.

The phone goes on sale tonight midnight and like rest of the Motorola devices, the phone will up for sale on Flipkart along with some launch offers as well as free data and Wynk Plus subscription from Airtel.

Moto G (3rd gen) is priced at Rs. 11,999 for 8GB ROM/1GB RAM and Rs. 12,999 for 16GB ROM/2GB RAM variant.

The Moto X Play goes for the battery loving crowd with its up to 48 hours of battery life. The phone has a water-repellent design and comes with attractive Motorola Shell or Flip Shells.

To not make the Americans feel out of the Moto party, Motorola will launch Moto X Style. Although the device will be known as Moto X Pure Edition in the United States, the phone will work with any carrier in the US, thanks to the integration of universal banding.
