On the heels of the Moto G6 Plus launch in the country, Motorola has announced that the launch of the Motorola One Power in India is set for September 24th. The smartphone was unveiled at IFA 2018 in Berlin late last month alongside the smaller Motorola One. Notably, this is Motorola’s first handset in collaboration with Google’s Android One programme.
The official Twitter account of Motorola India, on Monday evening, confirmed the Motorola One Power India launch date. In the tweet, Motorola reiterates that the handset is the “co-creation of Motorola and Google.”
Android One support on the Motorola One Power will bring a stock Android experience and offer timely Android updates. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be a stretch to presume an update to Android Pie in the near future.
While the exact date of its availability is yet to be confirmed, it is largely speculated to be priced at around Rs. 14,000. However, Motorola, at its formal announcement during IFA 2018, said that the handset would come to the Indian market starting October this year. It was also highlighted that this model would be exclusive to India.
