Moto X Force launch: It's Lenovo Moto in India from now

Lenovo Moto X Force, the smartphone with a shatterproof display, was launched in India starting at a premium price of Rs 49,999. The launch also confirmed that going forward in 2016, the Moto brand will become a sub-brand of Lenovo, and the Motorola tag will be dropped.

Lenovo wishes to scale up manufacturing in its Chennai plant in India. A recent Canalys report claims that Lenovo+Moto had acquired the third spot in the Indian market for Q3 2015, beating homegrown players like Intex, Lava etc. Lenovo says it shipped 8 million smartphones in India for all of 2015.

Motorola Mobility India head Amit Boni said that the company had worked on the shatter-proof display for nearly three years and will offer a 4-year warranty for the display as well.
