Motorola Unveils New Moto G And X, Smartwatch With Flipkart

In the second quarter of 2014, 18.42 million smartphones were shipped in India. Samsung is the leader with a 29 percent market share, followed by Micromax (18 percent).

The smartphone category is witnessing intense competition, especially in the affordable (sub $100) segment.

Last week, Firefox (in partnership with Spice and Intex) had launched two new handsets, priced below 2,300, aimed at those looking to upgrade from feature phones to smartphones.

Google is also expected to launch its much-awaited sub-$100 (around 6,000) smartphones in India on September 15, which will further intensify competition in the booming multi-billion dollar smart devices market.

Flipkart vice president-retail and head-strategic brand alliances Michael Adnani said 1.6 million units of Moto E, G and X have already been sold on Flipkart.

"Moto E accounts for the bulk. We are confident that we will see similar response for the new devices as well," he added.
