Where to watch Moto G5s Plus launch event live:
Motorola has made arrangements to webcast the entire launch programme online. You can log in to Motorola India's official YouTube channel at 12.15 pm (HERE) or watch here.
How much will Moto G5S Plus cost in India?
In Europe, Moto G5S Plus costs €249($295/Rs.18,803), So, we expect the phones to cost little more provided if they are imported. But, if they are locally assembled, then they might carry the same or if not a lesser price-tag, considering the fact, the company need not have to pay additional customs duty.
There is no word on when Motorola intends to launch the generic Moto G5s model in India. Stay tuned. Follow us @IBTimesIN_Tech on Twitter for latest updates on Motorola products.
