Just a month after unveiling the Moto G6 and G6 Play smartphones in India, Motorola has now launched the Moto E5 and E5 Plus smartphones in the sub-continent. As seen with Motorola in recent times, the Moto E5 and E5 Plus are priced on the higher side with the former retailing at Rs 9,999 and the latter going for Rs 11,999. For the unaware, the Moto G6 Play is also priced at Rs 11,999 in India, but the USP of the E5 Plus is the 5000mAh battery it packs inside. The Moto E5 Plus will be available for purchase via Amazon India and Moto Hub stores across the country, whereas the Moto E5, for now, is said to be an offline-exclusive model, same as the Moto E4.
