Moto G5 Plus India launch confirmed for 15 March as company sends media invite

Motorola announced the all new Moto G5 and G5 Plus back at MWC (Mobile World Congress) rather silently as the press conference clashed with Nokia’s.

Recently we saw a Flipkart campaign teasing the India launch of the smartphones on 15 March and of course, its exclusivity on the e-commerce portal. Today Moto has sent us a press invite for the launch of the Moto G5 Plus.

The Moto G5 Plus features a 5.2-inch Full HD display and is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor. You also get a number of storage options with 2/3/4GB of RAM and 32/64GB of storage. The phone supports microSD cards up to 256GB in size. The camera is a 12 MP f/1.7 unit with dual-LED and supports 4K recording. The front camera is a 5 MP f/2.2 unit. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with dual-band support as well as Bluetooth 4.2 and microUSB v2.0. The battery is a 3,000 mAh unit.

The Moto G5 could see a launch at a later stage. This is the smaller counterpart featuring a Snapdragon 430 SoC with a 5-inch Full HD display. You get a choice of either 2/3GB of RAM and 32/64GB of storage, which is also expandable by 256GB via a microSD card. The cameras on this device are a 13 MP f/2.0 for the rear and a 5 MP f/2.2 for the front. You get the same connectivity options and a slightly smaller 2,800 mAh Li-Ion battery.
