Moto E3 Power to launch in India next week

Last month, Lenovo launched a slightly upgraded model of its low-cost Moto E3, but the handset was only available to buy in Hong Kong. The company has now announced that this Moto E3 Power model will be heading to India next week, or on September 19th to be more specific.

A Tweet sent out from Moto India states that the smartphone will be an exclusive to local retailer FlipKart. The e-commerce store has also put up a new page dedicated to the handset, where you can register to receive an email once the handset go on sale.

There are a few changes to the hardware inside the Moto E3 Power that are worth mentioning. The most notable difference is a larger 3,500mAh battery, up from 2,800mAh. Compared with the original E3, the phone also packs in 1GB of extra RAM and twice the amount of internal storage.

The handset comes with a 5-inch 720p display, a MediaTek MT6735P processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded. The phone also boasts an 8 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front camera, and Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box.

The Moto E3 Power currently retails for HDK 1,094 (Rs. 9,500 / $140) in Hong Kong. Lenovo also recently launched the similarly speced Moto G4 Play in India for Rs 8,999, so the new Moto E3 Power will likely cost around the same price. Interested?
