Lenovo Moto C sports a 5.0-inch FWVGA screen with micro-textured cover on the back with white and black colour options.

Inside, it comes with MediaTek quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB inbuilt storage, 5MP primary camera with autofocus, LED flash, a 2MP front snapper and a 2,350mAh battery.

"According to the reports fewer people are expected to upgrade to smartphones because of concerns over price, need and ability to use. We see this as a huge opportunity for a brand like us to initiate the smartphone journey for feature phone users. At Motorola, we focus on mobility through device innovation, user-centric design and smart connectivity to offer the best possible smartphone experience to the consumers," Sudhin Mathur, managing director, Motorola Mobility India and country head, Lenovo Mobile Biz Group, said in a statement.

Competition:

The new Lenovo Moto C will be up against the popular Xiaomi Redmi 4A, Micromax Canvas Spark 3 and XOLO Era 2X, among others.

In a related development, Lenovo is expected to launch Moto Z2 Play later this month in India.
