The Moto X is finally here, will go live tomorrow exclusively on Flipkart for a starting price of Rs. 23,999. The X with the Wooden back panel will cost extra – it is priced at Rs. 25,999. The single SIM handset will be available in 5 different colors and it will not be a midnight launch.

The Moto G was priced just right but this time the Moto X though it comes with better hardware and some unique features does not fall under the Rs. 20k barrier. Flipkart is offering EMI option as over 20K is a big amount for many consumers.

I am not sure yet, but I don’t think the Moto X will create the same kind of craze that we had seen with the Moto G, it is just the price that many consumers can simply not afford or not comfortable moving ahead with. Moto G was a different case, many users got it just for the price tag.
