Highlights

The teasers were posted on Motorola India's Twitter account
Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play have been launched in India
Launch and pricing details are currently not available

Lenovo-owned Motorola at its product launch event held in Brazil in April this year announced a refresh to its Moto G and Moto E series of smartphones. While the Moto G6 Play and Moto G6 have made it to the Indian shores since then, the Moto E5 range is yet to be seen. In a recent development, Motorola India has been posting battery-related video teasers on its official Twitter account that point towards an impending Moto E5 India launch. Only two variants in the series - Moto E5 and Moto E5 Plus could make it to the Indian market, considering the Moto E5 Play is restricted to the US market.

Both teasers, that went live earlier this week, talk about bringing an end to battery woes, which could be indicative of the India launch of the Moto E5 being right around the corner. To recall, the Moto E5 Plus comes with a 5000mAh battery while the Moto E5 gets a 4000mAh unit. The MSRP of the Moto E5 at launch was EUR 149 (roughly Rs. 11,900) and the Moto E5 Plus was launched at a price tag of EUR 169 (roughly Rs. 13,500). Pricing and launch details for the Indian market haven't been revealed yet. Do note that Motorola has promised one major Android update (Android P) for the Moto G6 series, but none for the Moto E5 yet.
