Motorola Moto G5 price tipped ahead of MWC launch, will be cheaper than G4



Lenovo's Moto G5 smartphone expected to debut later this month at MWC 2017 trade show in Barcelona has been rumoured to be priced lower than its predecessor at launch. According to the latest tip, the Moto G5 will be priced at EUR 189 (roughly Rs. 13,500) for the 2GB RAM with 16GB storage model while the 3GB RAM with 16GB storage model is likely to be priced at EUR 209 (roughly Rs. 15,000). A recent report even claimed that the Moto G5 will be going on sale shortly after the Motorola event. The leaked European prices have been claimed by Roland Quandt of winfuture.de on Twitter who has been on a spree when it comes to leaks related to Lenovo's upcoming smartphones.

Considering these are leaked European prices, we can expect the US-based (as well as India) prices to be comparatively low. To recall, Lenovo's Moto G4 was launched in India at a starting price of Rs. 12,499 in June last year.

The company also plans to get the phone to India sooner than expected. According to sources, the Moto G5 Plus will launch in India in March 2017.
