Motorola has only just launched the XT615 mid-range Android handset in China, but it seems like Indians looking to get their hands on it won't have to wait for long, according to a report by The Mobile Indian. The website is reporting that the new phone will be launching in the country by January 2012, probably with a price tag of Rs. 17,500.
Powered by an 800MHz processor, the Motorola XT615 runs on Google Android v2.3 Gingerbread, enhanced by the custom Moto Switch UI. The device seeks to bring a slim form factor to the mid-range segment, as it boasts of a thin 9.8mm frame. Quite impressive when you consider it rocks a 4-inch screen, 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and a lanyard hole to attach your keychains or charms to add a personal flavour.
We would be a little surprised if the handset did come at the Rs. 17,500 price suggested by the Mobile Indian, since the official price of the device in Taiwan is NTD$ 10,900 (Rs. 18,800 approx). Rarely do handsets launch at a cheaper price in India than in Taiwan, but as the blog suggests, if the XT615 is priced higher than this, it will most definitely not find any buyers given the number of other handsets available a cheaper price, like the Samsung Galaxy SL and Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V. We hope TMI is right on this one.
