After introducing the Moto C smartphone in India earlier this month, Lenovo-owned Motorola is all set to launch their another budget-oriented smartphone, Moto C Plus in the Indian smartphone market. The company has started sending out the media invites for an upcoming smartphone launch event, which is scheduled to be held on Monday, June 19 in New Delhi, India. At the event, Motorola will be announcing the pricing details and availability of the Moto C Plus smartphone. Moto India on Wednesday shared a teaser video about the upcoming Moto C Plus device on its official Twitter page. The Tweet reads, “Yes, it’ll never let you run out of juice. Yes, it’s THAT charged! #MotoCPlus #ComingSoon” But sadly, the tweet does not disclose the exact time and other details of the upcoming Moto C Plus launch event. But the tweet confirmed that the upcoming Moto device will be backed by a decent battery. To recall, Moto C Plus was first launched in May this year with a price tag of EUR 119 (approximately Rs 8,600), along with the company’s another mid-range smartphone Moto C. In the Indian smartphone market, the Moto C Plus will likely to be priced somewhere in between the Rs 7,500 and Rs 8,000.
