Flipkart, the exclusive retail partner for Motorola handsets in India, has been teasing the upcoming launch of a new smartphone via its Twitter handle. While the teasers thus far have not made it clear which phone is being referred to, the teasers have been however referring to "The next level of the exceptional smartphone. Coming soon."
