The Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) and Moto G Turbo Edition are now available through Amazon India, effectively breaking the phones exclusivity to Flipkart. The brand has been slowly moving ahead with its plan to make its products more widely accessible through both online and offline spaces.
These include retailers like Snapdeal, Amazon and Airtel. The expansion towards the second hasn’t changed the price of the Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) and Moto G Turbo Edition. Both had gotten a cut in cost back in January this year. Accordingly, the former can be bought for Rs 9999 for the 8GB model and Rs 10999 for the 16GB one.
Note that only the 16GB version is retailing via Amazon as of now, with the 8GB variant expected to hit availability later this week. Furthermore, the Moto G Turbo Edition will be up for purchase at Rs 12499, Rs 2000 down from the cost it had commanded when it was launched in December last year.

Motorola began rolling out the upgrade to Android Marshmallow for both handsets recently. The update should serve to be a point in its favor. Another handset getting the Marshmallow treatment is the older Moto G (2nd Gen). As per GSM Arena, the send-up is being slowly sent out to users for the 3G and 4G versions of the phone.

People who are looking to buy the Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) and Moto G Turbo Edition via Amazon should be aware that the site has changed its return policy to stop people from sending back handsets under the ‘no longer need it’ reason.
