Moto G5S smartphone has received a price cut as Motorola readies to launch the Moto G6 series. The Lenovo-owned brand Motorola on Monday announced a permanent price cut on the Moto G5S that brings down the smartphone's price by Rs. 4,000. With this price cut, Moto G5S now costs Rs. 9,999 in the Indian market, and can be purchased at the new price across Moto Hubs, Amazon.in, and offline retail partners in Fine Gold, Lunar Grey, and Oxford Blue colour variants. Launched in India in August last year, the Moto G5S was initially priced at Rs. 13,999, while the Oxford Blue variant was launched later in October 2017 for a price of Rs. 14,999.
We are also expecting to see the launch of Moto G6 Play, Moto G6, and Moto G6 Plus at an event in Brazil later this week, and the India launch is expected to be in the same time frame.
