Moto G5 Plus India Release On March 15, To Be Sold On Flipkart Exclusively

After launching three generations of Moto G series exclusively on Flipkart, Motorola moved to Amazon to sell Moto G4 series. Now Motorola is back to its first abode in India to sell the fifth generation Moto G phones. The partnership is eyeing to reach the milestone of selling ten million smartphones. Moto G5 series launched at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain. The company has already confirmed Moto G5 Plus will be launching in India on 15th March on its Twitter account.

Motorola implemented metal construction for the first time on Moto G5 series. The most intriguing part of Moto G5 Plus is its camera, as it comes with the same hardware used in Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge.
