After teasing for a week, Motorola finally confirmed that the new budget Moto E5 Plus will be making its debut later this month.

Lenovo-owned is launching the Moto E5 Plus on July 10 and will be available exclusively on Amazon India and the company's proprietary Moto Hubs across the country.

As advertised, the highlight of the Moto E5 Plus is its battery. It comes with a huge 5,000mAh cell, which is more than sufficient to run the phone for a one-and-half day under mixed usage.

If used more conservatively, Moto E5 Plus can last two full days, easily. Another notable attribute of the device is that it supports fast charging capability. With this, device despite having massive battery capacity will be able to get fully recharged within two and half hours. Even just 15 minutes of charging is enough to make the phone last close to 6 hours, the company claims.

Motorola phone also comes with 6.0-inch HD+ (1440x720p) MaxVision screen with 18:9 aspect ratio thus guaranteeing the user, rich cinematic viewing experience.

Moto E5 Plus vs competition:

Once released, Motorola phone is expected to go against the popular Xiaomi Redmi 5, Tecno Camon I, Redmi Y2 and Honor 9 Lite, among others.

So far, Motorola has not revealed about launch details of the generic Moto E5 and the low-end Moto E5 Play for the Indian market, but if previous release pattern is taken as any indication. The company is most likely to release them sequentially leaving little time gap between each launch so that individual products don't cannibalise each other's sale.
