Moto G (Gen 3) With 4G Support, Android 5.1 Lollipop Launched at Rs. 11,999
Motorola on Tuesday raised the curtain on the third-generation Moto G smartphone at the company's 'MyMotoBFF' launch in New Delhi, ahead of launches in London, New York, and Sao Paulo.
The Motorola Moto G (Gen 3) is available in 8GB and 16GB internal storage variants. Though the biggest addition to the smartphone compared to the second generation Moto G is the inclusion of a 2GB RAM variant, as well as the presence of 4G LTE connectivity in both variants. The Moto G (Gen 3) will be available in 8GB internal storage with 1GB of RAM priced at Rs. 11,999, and a 16GB model with 2GB of RAM priced at Rs. 12,999. It goes up for sale on Tuesday midnight via exclusive online retail partner, Flipkart.

Unfortunately, the company did not reveal the number of the units going on sale on the opening day. Motorola did mention that the previous generation Moto G will be phased out with time. At this price point, Motorola will most likely want to repeat the success of its previous two Moto G smartphones while competing directly against the likes of Lenovo's K3 Note and Xiaomi's Mi 4i.
Launch offers, available till August 2, include Rs. 500 off on Flipkart Fashion, 33 percent off on Myntra, free Airtel Wynk subscription for 6 months, Airtel Double Data offer for 6 months, and a bundled Airtel 4G SIM. 100 lucky customers will get 100 percent cashback, while 100 lucky customers will get a Moto 360 for Rs. 1. The company also revealed exchange offers for Moto E and Moto G owners.
As teased in the invite previously, the Moto G (Gen 3) comes with IPX7 certification, which makes the smartphone dust and water-resistant (immersible up to 3 feet of water for 30 minutes). Notably, the previous generation Moto G and Moto G (Gen 2) featured a nano-coating layer that saved them from occasional water splashes. The dual-SIM Moto G (Gen 3) supports two Micro-SIM cards, both supporting 4G LTE connectivity. Notably, the smartphone - like the Moto G (Gen 2) - features dual
front speakers, above and below the display, apart from 2 mics.
