Moto C Plus, the budget smartphone from Motorola will be officially launched in India today.

The Moto C Plus also improves over the Moto C with an 8MP rear shooter and a 2MP front camera with selfie flash. Moto C Plus' USP is its large 4000mAh battery, which is similar to those found on Xiaomi's Redmi 4 series. The Moto C Plus supports 4G LTE and runs Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box.
