The flagship Moto is powered by the top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC, and has been launched as a Limited Edition offering in India, bundled with a battery pack Moto Mod.
The Moto Z2 Force price in India has been set at Rs. 34,999. At this price range, it competes with the OnePlus 5T, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2, and the Nokia 8 in India. It will be available exclusively via Flipkart, apart from Moto Hub stores, from 11:59pm IST on Thursday itself. The smartphone will be bundled with a TurboPower Pack Moto Mod, regularly priced at Rs. 5,999.
The dual-SIM (Nano) Moto Z2 Force runs Android 8.0 Oreo sports a 5.5-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixels) POLED ShatterShield display.
