The Motorola handsets are made exclusively available on Flipkart, an electronics distribution website based in India. The new prices have been published on the website, with Rs. 2,000 price cuts being applied to variants of the Moto G third Gen and the Moto G Turbo Edition.

The 8 GB variant of the Motorola Moto G (Gen 3), which was sold at Rs. 11,999 prior to the price cut, will now sell for Rs. 9,999 only.

The primary camera of the device has 13 megapixels, while the secondary shooter has 5 megapixels.

The Moto G Turbo Edition also comes with a 5.0-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with the same resolution as the latest Moto G. The chipset is a Qualcomm MSM8939 Snapdragon 615 coupled with 2 GB of RAM.
