Moto E4 Said to Launch Soon in India; Price and Availability Tipped

Just a few days ago, the Moto E4 Plus was teased to launch in India soon, and now the Moto E4 smartphone has been tipped to launch in India soon by an established Mumbai-based retailer, along with price and availability details. The Moto E4 smartphone is said to be in stock in one or two days in the country, and is expected to be priced at around Rs. 8,500.

The Moto E4 price and availability details have been tweeted by retailer Mahesh Telecom. With the tweet, offline availability of the Moto E4 is expected. Moto could very well adopt the same strategy it did for the Moto C and Moto C Plus, making one available offline, and the other online.
