Motorola's first all-metal smartphone, the Moto M is now available for purchase across all the offline stores in the country, says a report. For the unaware, the Moto M was launched in December 2016 as an exclusive to Flipkart. The device is priced at Rs. 15,999 for the 3GB of RAM/32GB storage variant and Rs. 17,999 for the 4GB of RAM/64GB storage option.
The report from Gadgets360 says that both the variants are available for purchase offline now at the same prices of Rs. 15,999 and Rs. 17,999.
