Speaking about the new dual SIM (GSM GSM) phones being launched, Motorola’s Mobility Country Head of India said: “One of our key focus segments is the dual-SIM market, a rapidly evolving market in India. We are delighted to offer our first two dual-SIM phones to the Indian consumer who has very distinct requirements of being ‘social’ while on-the-go in this extremely fast-paced Internet age. You can now have connectivity, convenience, entertainment in an elegant style and form factor with the flexibility of two numbers, which allow the user to travel with ease and most importantly, be ‘social’.
