Lenovo-owned Motorola has started sending media invites to an event in Mumbai on December 13, where it will unveil the Moto M smartphone. The invitation reads, “Mesmerizing, masterful, majestic (just like you)”, followed by a picture of smartphone’s back. The invite makes it very clear the smartphone is indeed Moto M, which went on sale in China last month.
Motorola M is an altogether a new smartphone from the Moto Z marker. It bears no similarities with the company’s existing Moto M or Moto Z series. It is a metal smartphone with rounded edges and antenna lines running near the top and bottom. For the first time, Motorola has added a fingerprint scanner on the back. Generally, Motorola’s smartphones feature a square fingerprint scanner embedded on the front.
Moto M will be a powerful smartphone in the mid-end segment. It features a large 5.5-inch FHD (1920×1080) with 2.5D curved glass.
