Flipkart launched the most awaited Moto G on 6th February 00:00 and within minutes the product was sold out. The Moto G with 8GB internal storage was priced at Rs. 12,499 and 16GB for Rs. 13,999 – with launch day offers.
The Moto G got listed even before 6th Feb, i.e. on 5th Feb at 23:45. However the offers were applied only after 00:00. The Moto G 16 GB version that was available a few minutes after the 8GB version, got sold out in about 20 minutes. The 8GB version got sold out within 60 minutes.
I guess Flipkart had about 5000 16GB units and about 10,000 8GB units. I had also ordered the 8GB version and expect it to be delivered on/before 10th Feb. There is indeed a mad rush for the Moto G smartphone. It is not just the specs but the price too that made it to the hot selling fame.
Moto G was launched on 5th Feb in association with Flipkart – their exclusive online store partner. Am not sure if this handset will be made available on other online stores or offline stores (local stores). And really don’t know the fate of consumers who pre-booked the same from Snapdeal.
Moto G (8GB) – Rs. 12,499 | (16GB) – Rs. 13,999.

Gogi sir what is your choice magnus or moto g
LAVA iris pro30 is better than this
Hi Gogi. I got my 16gb Moto G. I face a issue – wifi is not getting connected/ if connected disconnected again in 2 secs. Are any one facing such issues.
Any suggestions to resolve this Gogi ?
Hi no am not facing that issue. There is a battery saver option in battery just check if that is enabled (on mine I have set it to off)
Hi.Thanks for ur reply gogi ji .
I too have set off battery saver option in my device.
When contacted flip kart regarding this issue , got a reply as ” Many users reported the same WiFi connection issue . Moto will fix it with a software update . ”
I am confused how much time they may take to fix this . Also worried I may get my product replaced since its a manufacturing defect 🙁
I downloaded the 1.6GB Asphalt 8 game I did not face any issue. Did this happen when the phone is in standby and you are downloading the files. Cause it happened once on my handset. After a long time when in standby mode the download stopped but as soon as unlocked the phone the Wi-Fi started and download resumed.
Hi Gogi .
1. Went to Settings-> Made wifi ON -> It showed my available wifi network [ secured with with WPA (WPS available ) ]with full signal strength.
2.Clicking the available wifi Ex. BSNL XXXX
SIGNAL STRENGTH shows as Excellent
Entered PASSWORD and clicked on connect.
3.BSNL XXXX gets connected.
signal strength is 1 bar( saved,secured with WPA )
Automatically disconnected in few seconds, getting AS “CONNECTING..” Then get 1 signal bar with as ” saved,secured with WPA “. The process repeats as a cycle.
I do not face any issues while I connect my SONY XPERIA M .
Also I tried Factory Reset, Switch OFF/ ON process .
In advanced Settings of WI FI
1. Keep WI FI on during sleep is selected as ALWAYS.
2. Avoid poor connections ( Checked with both ticked and ubticked options )
Hmmm… no I did not face this issue, and I just checked the handset again (Wi-Fi is still on) and get very good signal same as on my Note 2.
Thanks for your reply Gogi ji.
Login to the wifi router admin link and reboot the router. The issue sometimes could be with the router and not the handset.
Thanks Ajith
Gogi i am waiting ur unboxing review, after that i am take decision… I am waiting monday for ur review
Gogi ji Flipcart bareilly me to delivery de hi nhi rha h, moto g market me kb ayga, i m waiting
Hey Gogi Sir,Will be Moto G available at retail stores?
Not immediately, it will take weeks or even months. For now its available online only. If you are interested I would suggest buy online. And the review will be up soon.
Why flipcart not delivery it on bareilly u.p. place.
Hey Gogi,
You might have received the 8Gb version, am i right?
Could you please upload your review at the earliest so that i can suggest my friends accordingly?
Thanks bro 🙂
Yes I have review will be up on monday.
Great Gogi,
Is it possible at the earliest.. 😉
I am working on 2 reviews to put up on Monday :-).
Gogi ji I follow your site and most of your reviews on mondays 😉 am I right sir ji 🙂
yes, Monday for sure but I will try and see if I can do the Moto G on Sunday.
Gogiji,
One thing I ask you between LAVA Iris 30 Pro & Moto G which is better? The most common among them is Gorilla Glass Protection, which is missing with other phones of this range. Of course regarding CPU of them which on is better u can tell. Though the price of Lava is higher, it will definitely come down in couple of days.
First flipkart said they would ship it on the 17th(ordered 6 feb) and now they have cancelled the order citing unavailability. While they still continue to sell it. If they did not have the stock why on earth let me buy it then? utter nonsense.
Everyone Hurry !!!!
Moto G 16 GB is Now Currently Available in Stock Just Now !!!
So Hurry Up!!!!
Guys,
I am from Kerala and I received my MOTO G 16GB today afternoon. Great delivery by flipkart. Amazing phone! amazing display! premium build!
Package includes:
Phone, Charger (No data cable, white color) and headphone.
What do you do for data cable?
And are both sims to be micro-sims?
Thanks
S.K
I already have data cable. So not a problem for me.
Yes, both are micro sims.
I received my MOTO G(16GB) an hour ago, My first impression is,
1. Display is sharp and clear.
2. Perfectly fitted to my hands. No need of second hand to reach other corner unlike bigger screens. [ This is the concern I don’t prefer 5inch phones.]
3. Medium weight and same/better build quality as compared to BB and HTC. which I used earlier.
4. Loud speaker is clear enough to me to attend conferences.
One the screen gaurd it mentioned, MOTOROLA , a google company
BOX includes wall mount charger(undetachable) and Ear phones too but data cable is missing, all the accessories are white in color.
Just heard that it supports only micro sim cards 🙁
Forgot to check when ordering as i am using mini sim only.
Did any body get the mobile in hand… Can someone please confirm this and in box accessories provided ?
Dual-SIM Motorola Moto G now
getting KitKat too
Even gogi sir is exicited to review it because i think he will be first one to review indian unit with dual simm…
Gogi sir
I think you will recieve moto G today because ehenever i order somethings from flipkart they ship it the same day and also it reaches to mumbai next day and on another day it reaches to my place so you can get it today if you get it please upload review quickly as soon as possible
yes 8k more but i think the bulid quality would be better better camera than this 5Mp also bigger screen 1 inch as,also capacitive touch buttons and 512MB ram also needs much money to if not then all low cost handset would not come with 256MB ram or 512MB ram they would include 1GB ram better speaker(incall and back speaker) bigger battery backup and lasg big point external sd card support so much things included
i think this moto G will have low build or theres something that is making this handset low cost i dont know what it is but surely in a long run samsung would win
i also agree with you that the price is high it should not be 8K more but 4.5-5 k much better…
friend samsung never ever if they continue like this may some other brands. Samsung is going to loose market in the coming days. Google, lenovo, and motorola is going to rock the mobile industry in future.
Moto G 8 GB wont get out of stock there is ample supply for 8gb total 15000 units are imported till 3rd Feb .
Hey hii guys,
Ordered a 16gb variant…expected delivery 17th Feb.
I’m confused on the camera performance and about OTG.
Does Moto g support OTG ? Plz answer my doubt.
yes it does have otg and it works fine in jellybean . But in the kitkat update otg only works with a few paid apps like nexus media importer which costs arnd 250rs.
Yes it will support on 4.3 version when it will update to 4.4 then you will need a third party paid app called nexus file importer of worth 217rs….
Yes it supports OTG, camera can’t say but should be better then the local brands.
Hi Gogi
Im Daily reader of your blog
Im having Karbonn Titanium S5
would it be worth for switching to Moto G?
I m getting 7.5k for karbonn S5
Thanx in advance
If the handset is not giving any issue then continue using it. But if you can afford you can switch to Moto G. Better wait for the review, let me check the camera and other stuffs..
Gogi what is your expected shipping date of Moto G ?
It is 10th but I might get it on Saturday.
just one doubt is ringing in everyone. …what happens when the built in battery dies.. .can the service centre replace it or do end up with a cool n stylish paperweight. ..
there are many high end devices which are unibody design with non removable battery so I dont think it will have any issue.. I am using Nexus 7 (2012) make since 12 months or so without any issue.
Some people are complaining about the extra attention for Moto G. We all need some excitement. So allow those who enjoy Moto G be so.
any one want to buy moto g 16gb at rupees 14000 they should contact because i have ordered two handset only i want to purchase one so if instrested in delhi only kunal_choudhary12@yahoo.co.in
You will enjoy the the 3 offers. ?
sorry I have given it to my frnd its kunal.
Ha ha ha you would have ordered two peices and then flipkart should have shipped the both peices in one box and have forced to get both peices i have gone through that sitution…..
I am not a hater but, aren’t you all bragging too much about this phone?? If it was launched by an Indian company, I bet all will complain about storage, camera and battery. I really like this phone because it is so popular( custom roms, developers etc.). Its totally fine to like this phone and all, but now you are bad mouthing Indian brands at the same time, I don’t think thats such a healthy attitude
which indian brand ??
if you buy a handset from any indian brand then 80-90% money goes to their Chinese oem
I had booked the handset yesterday – did not buy the flip cover, however I just got an email from Flipkart they are offering the flip cover / case for 70% off. So in case you missed that out check your email.

I too got it
I too got an email. But the flip covers colours I am looking for is out of stock.. So waiting for them to be stock.
happY to get registered myself on gogi.in ♥ :-D…its not the one of the best site its the only one best site…Lots of love § blessings fo you man…keep it up
Finally i got the 16 gig version. Yesterday it went out of stock while i wasted time picking the flip cover. But sadly it will ship only on 17th feb. I was in the metro today and the moment i saw the tweet moto g available i borrowed my friend’s mobile and placed the order.
Hopefully someone will come up with a free app to make the otg work for free in kitkat.
yess their should be someway to make OTG support in kitkat as it is not expandable memory …..
Gogi sir
any idea what is the way to make a handset enable for OTG support….
It is possible by a third party application..in kitkat Please search in YouTube
ohhh yes i found one video thanks dude its needed because of no expandable storage….. grt work…
its via paid apps like nexus media importer. BUt why pay to fix something that was working fine.
May be this is the last moto product and company wants to make it best selling phone of 2014 and phone has great spec that can make it best selling phone. I m afraid that moto may not keep prnducing moto g because it has launched in europe in last december. Motorola should keep manufacturing moto g because many people who undestand phones hardware had already ordered it but people who dont will follow them. This phone has two major factor those u never got in single phone one is ‘brand’ and another is ‘lower cost’. Those who looking for phone below 18k go for it. I am saying 18k bcaus i dont know any phone below 18k which can compete with moto g. so,
NAMASTE and Good job motorola.

Thanx in advance
gogi…..mine also got shipped ….expecting it tomo….grt 🙂
This all reminds me of last year about Micromax Canvas HD trend 😉
moto g is trying to sell 8gb stock i think…may be playing some business tactics creating hike..what do u think guys
Gogi,
Why did u needed to buy moto g?? Bcoz of the mass??
One of my relative wanted a phone, its a deal.
Cool Deal Gogi!
Hey Gogi great Notification for Moto G.. Is it real time?
Thanks Sudip, nope not real time.
I bought a 16GB Moto G for my dad 🙂
Indian brands will be forced to play a more competitive game now because of launch of this phone. Bad news for them but ultimately the customers will be benefited the most.
MMX, which is turning into an overconfident company is punched in the face. They need to play it fair and square and avoid those flashy fail advertisement tactics. Also they should stop spamming a Bolt handset every other day.
Agree with the overconfident point
Check Samsung grand 2 big slap on samsung. ..it is 8k costly. .same hardware and what you get is 5.25 inch screen and 512 mb more ram..ha ha..
Moto has really set a bencmark on pricing. ..and which other should learn and launch at an affordable price. …
order 8 gb .because 16gb was out of stock..and flipcover .they are taking orders from U.P .thank god.
god!!! they cancelled it saying out of stock but its still in stock.
Enter you pincode see if they can deliver there and are you making advance payment or COD; not sure if COD is available.
thanx gogi for reply, first reply
its the pin code i think ,they are not delivering in U.P.
Yes flipkart has stopped cod service for most part of up…… Because they faced lots of problem in UP, as customer after ordering the product on Cod, were refusing to take the product when it arrived at their door, and this was causing some loss to flipkart, as they had to spend some amount even for shipping the product……
not a big deal if it got sold out rapidly… because people were waiting for this about 3-4 months,,
From iPhone 5s to moto g
From iPhone 4 to moto g 🙂
What is hall effect sensor on Moto G Related to Sound ?
Could have gone 4 it if the camera was at least 8mp and expansion slot But still Moto G has won the battle
An over rated phone !!!!
Reminding Micromax Canvas HD rush last year in Feb.
Looks like Moto G with QCOM planning to kill MTK market….
Moto G is now in stock
Booked one finally 8 GB 🙂
HELLO MOTO 🙂
And m very happy for that…
My Mobile journey started with Moto C115, Moto L6 , Moto Razr
and Now MOTO G 😀
I am going to get my MOTO G 16GB version by EOD it seems, i was informed by Ekart logistics about the same.
Cant believe exceptional service by Flipkart. I placed order using one day express service.
Mine also shipped (normal delivery). They have no option but to dispatch the handsets to make way for new stock, I guess.
not yet shipped, booked on 5 February, 2014 11:59 PM (normal delivery).
The only drawback in this amazing phone is that there is no expandable memory slot.
Hope Motorola will add this in upgraded Gs.
they should have each variant of devices 25,000 units.
gogi $ir i thnk dat u had made a mistake the16gb unit sold out within 60 min….. nd the company had earned around 20 crore within 2 hrs……Google should have launched this device to india before selling off Motorola to lenovo
I was tracking the page. 16GB sold out first and then 8GB.
sorry gogi sir
No problemo..
No 16GB was sold out first….. Within 15 minutes i personally watched it…..
Don’t worry, money will go to Google-Moto account only. Officially Lenovo doesn’t own Moto yet. It will take 8-10 months for all the official formalities and approvals.
Dear all,
you can see detail review of Moto G at: techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/moto-G-1199218/review.
The camera part is biggest drawback otherwise 16gb varient is the best.
i think the company had created a history …..is this type of thing ever happened in india
gogi sir can you tell me about samsung galaxy win pro details………
gogi tell ,will it be delivered in up .if not wht i shuld do? help
Hi Gogi Sir
Seeing the Overwhelming Response for this Handset now I think SAMSUNG India will be biting their nails as it was never a case with their Handsets. SAMSUNG is no doubt the Reigning Supremo in the Handset Field in India but the MOTOROLA is sure shot giving them the Tough Competition & which is going to hamper their SGS5 Flagship Model & SGN3 Neo Sales proposed to launch within a period of 1 month or so.
“Value for Money” is what should be the New Tagline for MOTOROLA in INDIA.
Quad Core, JB 4.3, 16GB Onboard & that too an unexpected & unbeatable price of Rs. 13,999. Really a Perfect Winner in the Mid-Range Smartphone Segment & that too without any compromise in Features.
Worth Every Single Penny!!! So, just Go & Grab it Guys. HURRAY!!!
Thanks
Gogi why u booked 8gb instead of 16 gb, 8 is enough for hardcore gamers.
Two reasons
1) I am not a hardcore gamer, so 8GB is enough for me (may be 1 big game on it that’s it).
2) I knew the handsets will be sold out quickly and 16G will be what many would look for as the first preference, so to be on a safer side I went for 8GB.
Also there is not much price difference between 8/16GB hence 16GB is a good option. It was more about availability, and now since both 8/16 are out of stock lets see when FlipKart will get the new lot.
gogi sir any guess when it will be available because as i ordered at 12.18 am it has written out of stock any information when it will be available and price will be increased or remain same
Kunal, it will be back at 12 noon.
thanks sir
Lucky people… I tried like he!! but it was tougher than Tatkal booking on IRCTC.
I guess restricting 1 booking at a time will allow more people to buy. Many people might bulk booking it.
Gogi just 9 minutes to go before I pre book my moto G (16 gb)model
They will get new stock in noon check the flipkart website gogi sir
Check the article first. He already has posted the screenshot for that 😛
if u are not a gamer then in 8gb Moto G what exceptional u getting that u bought…i am seriously confused Why people are so much after it..
No gaming then no need of snapdragon quadcore …even mediatek would work smoothly..
Then howcome its above MMX117..only for android kitkat or gorilla glass??…magnus would also get in 1 month?..
Its camera is poor even compared to magnus, no memory card slot…then y??…for brand name??
8GB does not mean you cannot play games, it is just that you will have limited spaced and may be 2 heavy games, you will need to remove those games if you want to try other games. If you know how to quickly move data from phone to pc and back again, it is not a big deal. Wait for the review then we will know how the handset is.
sir after how much time u will upload ur review.
handset has been dispatched I will get it on or before 8th. So on Monday you can expect.
Just got a call, It will be delivered to my address in Noida tomorrow morning 10:30 am. Surprisingly fast 🙂
sanket.. had a quest. u got ur moto g through COD in noida ?
gogi sir they are not open the booking of moto g
No booking has not started yet.
Both 8GB and 16 GB again available on Flipkart
Yes it was a few minutes back.
And I booked one 8 GB . I wanted royal blue cover but they had only red available. Doesn’t matter jo mila acha hai 🙂
Right bro 🙂
