Lenovo-owned Motorola today launched the Moto E3 Power,Love Nonetheless its latest affordable smartphone for the Indian market. The mid-range smartphone offers a “smudge-resistant” display, an all-day battery life, and water-resistant body. It is priced at Rs 7,999 ($120).

With the Moto E3 Power, Motorola is improving its smartphone lineup for Indians who are looking at purchasing an affordable phone. The Moto E3 Power will compete against the likes of recently launched Xiaomi’s Redmi 3s Prime and Lenovo’s Vibe K5 Plus among others.

The phone is no slouch for its $120 price tag. It offers a 5-inch HD display (1280 x 720 pixels), which Motorola claims won’t attract annoying fingerprint smudges.

Inside the phone is Mediatek’s 64-bit MT6735p quad-core processor clocked at 1.0GHz processor. It comes coupled with Mali T720 GPU, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up by another 32GB using a microSD card.

For photography enthusiasts, there’s an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and HDR capabilities, and a 5-megapixel selfie camera. The phone comes with a water-repellent nano-coating which the company claims can withstand accidental water spills and splashes.

Much like other recently launched affordable smartphones in India, the Moto E3 Power also offers dual-SIM capability and 4G VoLTE LTE support (so the only thing that stands between you and Jio SIM card is a long queue). For its 3,500 mAh battery, it is offering a 10W rapid charger. The company says the charger, which ships with the phone, will get the phone to tick for 5 hours with only 15 minutes of charging.

The Moto E3 Power comes in black and white color options. It will be sold exclusively through Flipkart starting midnight tonight.
