On the lines of Moto G Indian Thread, i am creating the Moto X Indian Thread.
Why?
Because 'Moto X to launch in India in Next Few Weeks'
Source : http://www.fonearena.com/blog/97522/moto-x-to-launch-in-india-in-next-few-weeks.html
I guess it would be Flipkart again who would bring it to us first.
Any guesses on its price?
I think it could be somewhere between 25k-28k
Edit #1 : Launch day offer, get Rs. 1000 off on opting 6 months emi

Edit #2 : Big news! The Moto X will start at Rs. 23999 and is releasing tomorrow 19/Mar/2014 https://twitter.com/Flipkart/status/445853842974838785
Edit #3 : 5 colors priced at Rs. 23999 and wood black versions priced at Rs. 25999 https://twitter.com/Flipkart/status/445860539420274689
Another tweet saying, Moto X will have a daytime launch, tomorrow.
Flipkart is selling only 16 GB version, 32 GB hasn't been planned.
The Black & White colors would be in stock at launch, other colors would be on pre-orders delivered by 2nd week of April.
Wood back would have walnut and teak finish.

It will be a lil lower than that, cuz if we see the Moto G price and considering that I don't think so it will be more than 20K-23K for 16GB model.

Remember here that the Moto G was meant to be cheap... Moto X is supposed to be a flagship device... It might be around 30K atleast... But it has brilliant features! You will fall in love with active display...The touchless control is brilliantly accurate for our "indian" accents as well... i can vouch for that!

It doesn't have the specs to be a 30k phone and Motorola is now on a market grabbing state, so they know now keeping a good value of the phone can help them make a presence in Indian Market. And actually 20k is more than enough for that phone. Why someone would by a Moto X if they can buy a Nexus 5 with more specs at 30K.
Think as a businessman bro.

Its not all about business bro... and not all buy phones for specs! If you havent used a Moto X you shouldn't comment on its performance! Nexus 5 is awesome for tech geeks and nerds like us but Moto X is the iPhone of Android(PS that is a compliment) I have a Droid Maxx and its the BEST both in terms of speed and battery and performance.. But it will definitely be a little costly around 28K atleast... Its CPU was personally designed by motorola with two added cores for better performance for the touchless control..

Not at all saying that you are wrong, have used Moto X just for an hour, it feels a lot better in hand and build quality is just amazing but actually Motorola is on a more sales mind atm and grabbing the marking where samsung and micromax cheap phones are ruling, they have to do that else they won't survive. No offense I am impressed with Motorola on Moto X and Moto G.

Lets just wait and watch!
Im using a dev ed moto x 32gb and im very happy with it. Touchless controls are amazing so with active notifications. Sold my N5 and got this badboy.
Moto G 8GB unlocked is available @ 179$ = Rs. 11098 (1 $ = Rs. 62) which we get for Rs. 12500.
So Tax/Duties come out to be Rs. 1402 i.e. 11.22%
Moto G 16GB unlocked is available @ 199$ = Rs. 12338 (1 $ = Rs. 62) which we get for Rs. 14000.
So Tax/Duties come out to be Rs. 1662 i.e. 11.87%
Now if we average out the Tax/Duties as 11.5%, so here's the calculation for Moto X.
Moto X 16GB unlocked is available @ 399$ = Rs. 24738 (1 $ = Rs. 62), Tax/Duties Rs. 2937 Rs. i.e. 11.5%, Total Rs. 27675
Moto X 32GB unlocked is available @ 199$ = Rs. 12338 (1 $ = Rs. 62), Tax/Duties Rs. 3305 Rs. i.e. 11.5%, Total Rs. 31143
Assuming we won't be getting the Moto Maker customisation which is included in the Moto X prices, we can deduct around 1K from the above total.
So my guess is Moto X 16 GB would be between 26-27K and 32 GB between 30-32K
Anything below this would be more awesome.

That was a pretty good detail on the pricing and it would be pretty accurate I think. But if they upgrade to new Moto X and then bring it to india maybe it will win but with that price won't be people going for Nexus 5. Just saying.

I enquired with Motorola India customer service but they wont service Moto X as it is not launched in India.
Is there any place in Bangalore where I can get it serviced /repaired.

Bought MotoX from US
I got my MOTO X from US and let me describe it in one word that it is awesome. In real sense it is a smart phone.
It has changed the way i use the smartphone. there is absolutely no lag.
The active display is superb.
The Moto Assist works flawlessly.
Though there is a very strong negative feedback for the camera but still i like it a lot.
All I can say is that you need to use it to realise its potential.
Waiting for more details
The Moto X will start at Rs. 23999 and is releasing tomorrow 19/Mar/2014

The google play bumper is sold out and expensive (especially with shipping if you weren't able to get it together with the phone). Everything I find on Amazon is only "available for pre-order".
Are there any cases that are already available and can be delivered in the US in < 1 week? I don't really care how good, something cheap and "good enough" until the better cases come out.

Hello,
This is a official Indian Moto G discussion thread. It is expected to be launched in early January 2014.
I will update the thread as we get more information.
Please keep this thread clean and use if for Moto G specific stuff only. Please avoid OT discussion.
I was thinking about getting this phone to replace my old and tired Galaxy Y.
I wonder what the price will be...
Somewhere around 11-12K maybe?

16 GB Moto G costs 199 $ in US i.e. Rs 12500 approx. So it will not be less than Rs 15000 here I'm planning to get one from US
Looking at the Nexus 5 pricing and as they will have to include headphones in the box as per Indian law, I think 16gb will cost around 18k. I hope Motorola prices it close to 15k.
Moto G 8GB is available for Rs.15,990 and 16GB for Rs.17,990 at eBay India including all taxes and import duties. It was imported from US.

But how about warranty? I doubt whether motorola will accept US phones for warranty in India.
Also, they have mentioned dual sim model. When will this be launched?

People who import products from US/UK often won't care about warranty which we won't surely get. But the seller who is selling US Moto G 8GB and 16GB on eBay India is saying he is giving one year warranty and 10 day replacement guarantee. ALWAYS enquire the seller before buying on eBay.
But at the moment its the cheapest option available instead of importing manually for who can't wait for the official launch of Moto G in India.
16 - 17K
Right now, Moto G costs 200USD [16GB version]
Convert that to INR = Around 12,000 Rs
+ Around 30% Tax = 16,500 - 17,000 Rs

Where did you get that 30% tax figure from?
It's 6%... and there are some other charges too. But OEMs import in bulk.. it is subsidized.
It'll effectively be around 10-15% tops
prices of smartphones in india are almost same as in UK, where 16gb versions costs about 16K (inr), so adding a charger+Dual Sim+Headphones may increase price upto 2K so i think 16-18K is a good guess for 16gb version in india. Also if they launch single sim version without charger and headphones, it would be a better option
If they do price it at 16-18K then I don't think its going to sell a lot. The Micromax canvas 4 is a good deal at around 16K. And there are a ton of other phones cheaper than that with better specs.
Altough the Moto G will get KitKat faster and will be the one supported by the community more.

Should be around 15k. Am looking forward for getting my hands on the 16gigs variant too as soon as it lands here. Hoping that Moto will be providing warranty here.

had Motorola not promised KitKat for Moto G, it wud be senseless to buy it over Canvas 4 or Canvas Turbo or other Sino-Indian phones.

nope.. 16.5k for single-SIM 16 GB, without charger & headphones.
Here's how I calculated-
Nexus 5 : Moto G
= $349 : $199
= Rs 28999 : Rs 16535
(come on! Congress won't lower the taxes)
And of course warranty will be there because it'll be "officially launched" like Nexus 5 (not like Nexus 4).
P.S.- I think, we would get more of dual-SIM ones (expectedly costing Rs 1.5k more) before single-SIM ones become readily available.
By then if Nexus 4 drops to 20k, it wud be a more sensible buy than Moto G. :thumbup:

but that was about ancient feature phones (non-android RAZR, ROKR, etc.)
Despite Qualcomm chipset & Gorilla Glass 3, Moto G is priced quite low, which means all other components are cheap and as bad as LG's.
So, in terms of durability Nexus 4 should be as good as Moto G.
Had Moto G been costlier, we could have considered it to be more durable than Nexus 4, but not now.
Anyway.. if Nexus 4 sticks to 21.5k and Moto G costs no more than 16.5k, then of course Moto G will be the winner.

Technically, tax isn't applied on imports! Its only the shipping charge and customs levied (if a relative sends you the device, then no customs). So, basically it should be 14-15K max.

Seems to be even more entry level than the Moto G. They quote the price for the dual SIM + TV as R$599,00 - I'd expect it to retail for something like $119,00 / £89,00 / €129,00 SIM-free, unlocked.
Why would a more entry level phone cost more?

I'm going by Amazon prices here, but the cheapest G goes for $179 / £115 / €159,00. Obviously you can find it discounted, but this isn't what I'm talking about, I'm talking about standard prices.

It also looks like a Moto G LTE version is going to be released in the coming months as well. I would imagine the next version of the Moto G will have LTE as a standard feature. The costs of including multiple bands for LTE is coming down so it only makes sense.

I might get the LTE Moto G since the screen on my current G is cracked/scratched at the upper right. It's barely noticeable, but it's noticeable enough to annoy me. Quite a few people like my phone and it isn't available here (I don't think Digicel plans on carrying this phone and it's expensive as hell to import) so I can most likely sell it for some good cash once I get the LTE version.
I am so buying it just for the lte features xD
I want the moderator to ban me.
Really ?Why here is so expensive ?

Moto E has been officially announced, here is the full specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_moto_e-6323.php
Available in the uk for £79.99 locked to o2.
A £150 moto g model is out now with micro sd and lte support though.
Well, what leaked so far for the upcoming Moto X 2016 with the lack of stereo speakers left me quite cold...
There are some Moto X Style (same as the Pure Edition, but for Europe) on sale at expansys.ca for $440 CAN (or $349 US). It's said to be compatible with the major Canadian carriers for LTE and 3G. It's very tempting to upgrade my Idol 3 with this (my Idol is still sold $360 CAN over here)..

Anyone ever used Expansys?
Looks like Expansys-USA provides a 6-month warranty for this Moto X Style, with an additional 12-month that can be purchased for $50 CAN.
Thanks.

Its only going to be available in UK and India for now, no mention of other countries or continents.
We are also getting a moto g4 "play" in UK, an identical device to the new E3, but with more ram (2gb) for £130, that's around $150, quite what the point of that device is I'm not sure.......
