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.
