Moto G5 & Moto G5 Plus now available offline

Lenovo launched the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus smartphones in India not long ago and has valued it beginning at ₹11,999. When launched, Motorola declared that the Moto G5 was an Amazon India selective, while the Moto G5 Plus was a Flipkart exclusive only. Now we learned from sources that offline retailers have received stocks of the two phones as well, making them now available online as well as offline.
