Once a pioneer in mobile communication, Motorola has seen the highs and lows of the Indian smartphone market. From launching the first mobile phone ever to delivering clean, stock Android experiences in a budget-friendly range, Motorola's story in India is all about smart comebacks and reliable innovation. In this blog, we explore Motorola's journey, current product strategy, innovations, and future goals in India.
Motorola entered the Indian market way back in the early 2000s, gaining fame with phones like the Moto Razr V3. But the brand truly made headlines in the smartphone era in 2014, with the launch of the Moto G, which brought powerful specs and stock Android at affordable prices.
After several ownership changes—from Google to Lenovo—Motorola has re-established its presence in India with a clear focus: no bloatware, solid hardware, and clean software.
In 2025, Motorola smartphones in India start at ₹6,999, offering budget, midrange, and even foldable flagship options.
Motorola’s lineup today covers all major price segments:
Moto G Series – Budget-friendly with a focus on clean UI and reliable performance
Moto E Series – Entry-level smartphones for first-time users
Moto Edge Series – Premium phones with curved OLEDs and flagship chips
Motorola Razr Series – Iconic foldable flip phones with modern specs and nostalgia
Moto X Series (Reintroduced) – Upper-midrange phones for creators and professionals
Popular 2025 models include Moto G64 5G, Edge 50 Pro, Moto G04, and Motorola Razr 50 Ultra.
Motorola is one of the few brands offering near-stock Android—no ads, no bloat, and timely security updates. Their Hello UI in 2025 is lightweight and fluid, staying close to Google’s vision.
Unique features like:
Karate chop for flashlight
Twist to launch camera
Peek Display notifications
These small but meaningful touches make Motorola stand out in day-to-day usability.
From budget to premium, Motorola offers 120Hz pOLED and curved displays, giving users flagship-like visuals even under ₹25,000.
Motorola was one of the first to launch 5G-ready phones under ₹15K, like the Moto G73 and G62, giving budget users a future-proof device.
The Edge series and Razr models feature premium vegan leather, IP ratings, and sleek, minimalistic builds with proper weight balance.
Motorola has ramped up Make in India efforts, assembling most phones locally and adapting software features for Indian audiences.
Their focus includes:
Regional language support
Camera tuning for Indian skin tones
Large batteries and fast charging for Indian usage habits
They also maintain a growing offline network and service center expansion across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.

Strong presence in the ₹10,000–₹20,000 bracket
High praise for Edge 40 Neo and G84 5G in 2024 and 2025
Increasing market share in offline and Flipkart-exclusive sales
The brand continues to receive positive user feedback for software quality, after-sales support, and hardware durability.
In 2025 and beyond, Motorola plans to:
Bring more foldable innovations through the Razr series
Expand the Edge Ultra lineup with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and better cameras
Offer 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches for midrange and flagships
Invest in AI-powered camera and display tuning
Strengthen presence in the ₹25K–₹40K segment with flagship-killer devices
