Earlier in the week, Lenovo-owned Moto confirmed that it would launch the new metal-clad smartphone Moto M in India on December 13. Now, Flipkart has hinted that the device might be made available on its e-commerce portal.
Flipkart on Thursday night released a teaser, which reads—"It's Metallic. It's Marvelous. And it could be yours very soon. Coming soon on Flipkart! #SomethingMagnificent." This apparently has made many believe that the Moto M will be exclusively sold on Flipkart and not Amazon as previously thought.
Rumours had indicated that Moto M will be sold on Amazon India, as the company had chosen the US-based e-commerce site for the recently launched Moto Z series. That being said, Moto, for years has been associated with Flipkart. For Moto (formerly known as Motorola), Moto G (1st Gen) was the comeback phone for the company's second innings in early 2014 and it sold exclusively on Flipkart, which proved to be a really successful partnership.
Even the Moto E3 Power, which was launched in October 2016, made a rocking debut on Flipkart with record 100,000 units getting sold out within 24 hours and was touted as the highest single device sale on the first day in Flipkart's history.
