Motorola launched the Moto G6 and the Moto G6 Play in Brazil in April. The Lenovo-owned company has announced that it will launch the two smartphones in India. Motorola put a teaser on their official Twitter handle and said the smartphones are “coming soon.” As history suggests, Motorola is quick to launch smartphones globally in India. The predecessor, Moto G5, was launched just weeks after announcing at the MWC 2017 event in Barcelona.
The teaser came as a 14-second video calling out gaming pros, techies, movie buffs, photographers, explorers, and fashionistas from India. Motorola also created a dedicated site for customers to register themselves for notifications related to the launch. Interestingly, the company will launch both smartphones in China today, so we can expect the India launch a few weeks away.
