Moto C Plus Smartphone with 4G VoLTE Support to Launch on June 19th

A few weeks back, Motorola launched the entry-level Moto C in India for Rs. 5,999. This new Moto C will be replacing the Moto E as the most affordable series. Unlike the earlier launched Moto devices, the Moto C was made available exclusively through offline channels. Now, the company has confirmed to bring its elder sibling, Moto C Plus to the Indian market. While the Moto C Plus was already announced with 1GB and 2GB RAM options, we expect the company to bring the 2GB RAM variant as the Moto C sports 1GB of RAM. The device will be supporting dual SM dual standby and offers 4G VoLTE connectivity. Stay tuned for the exact specifications along with pricing and availability which will be known on the launch day.

Earlier: May 16th, 2017 – After months of leaks and rumors, Motorola has officially unveiled the all new Moto C and Moto C Plus smartphones. Before to the Moto C series, the Moto E devices use to be most affordable Motorola smartphones. While the upcoming Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus are rumored to come with metal bodies, the Moto C and Moto C Plus smartphones sport the polycarbonate shell. Both the new Moto C devices will go on sale in the next few weeks in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Since the Moto E devices are not made available in the U.S, we don’t think the company will be selling the Moto C and Moto C Plus smartphones there.

As rumors suggested, the Moto C will be coming in 3G and 4G variants. The 3G variant comes powered by 32-bit MediaTek quad-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz, whereas the 4G variant of the Moto C includes a 64-bit MediaTek quad-core processor clocked at 1.1GHz.

Unlike the other low-cost smartphones, we don’t see any major customizations or the inclusion of bloatware apps. The 3G and 4G variants of the Moto C will be backed by a 2,350mAh battery that might not last more than a day long usage. While the 3G variant of the Moto C costs €89, the 4G variant is priced at €99. Both the variants will be available in Metallic Cherry, Pearl White, Fine Gold, and Starry Black color options.
