The Moto G5 India launch will be live streamed, starting 12:15pm IST, and you can watch it below. For now, the Moto G5 price in India is not known, but we can expect it to be less than that of the Moto G5 Plus (Review).

Moto G5 price in India

To recall, Lenovo had launched the Moto G5 Plus in India in the middle of March, in two variants - 3GB RAM+16GB storage at Rs. 14,999, and 4GB RAM+32GB storage at Rs. 16,999. At a price point lower than that of Moto G5 Plus, the upcoming Moto G5 will come in direct competition with the popular Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.

We already know that unlike the Moto G5 Plus, which is exclusive to Flipkart, the upcoming Moto G5 will be sold exclusively on Amazon India, and it is already confirmed to go on sale in India at 12am IST on April 5. Special Moto G5 launch offers will be provided to Amazon Prime customers in the country, though they are yet to be detailed.
