Less than a month after their formal debut in Brazil, the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play are now heading to India. The launch of the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play has been confirmed by none other than Motorola. The Lenovo-owned company's India Twitter handle on Tuesday posted a teaser that said the smartphones are "coming soon". Historically, Motorola has brought its new models to the Indian market following their global announcement. The Moto G5, for instance, was launched in the country just weeks after it was announced at the MWC 2017 in Barcelona.

The teaser, which was posted through the Motorola India account on Twitter, includes a 14-second video that confirms the arrival of the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play in the country. It also calls a bunch of professionals, including techies, movie buffs, artists, photographers, explorers, and fashionistas to anticipate the upcoming launch together. The company has also created a dedicated site for users to register themselves for notifications surrounding the launch.

Interestingly, Motorola is set to launch the Moto G6 family in China on May 17. This suggests that the India launch may take place soon. However, the company hasn't revealed any particular details about the launch schedule. There also isn't any information about the prices of the Moto G6 series in India.
