Motorola on Tuesday unveiled three new smartphones: the fourth-generation Moto G, the Moto G Plus and the Moto G Play.

The Moto G and Moto G Plus can be customized using Moto Maker, while the Moto G Play can not. All three run Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

The Moto G and Moto G Plus became available Tuesday in Brazil and India. They will be rolled out across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia over time. The lower-end Moto G Play will be available globally this summer, Motorola said.

The Moto G Plus is priced at 14,999.00 rupees at Amazon India -- about US$224.

"That's high for India," said Will Stofega, a research program director at IDC.

The typical smartphone price point there is about $100, he added.

"On the other hand, India's a country whose economy is still growing, so it might be an interesting place to play," Stofega told TechNewsWorld. "The price is almost mid-tier."
