The Great Indian Moto G Launch: Snapdeal and Flipkart compete to provide better launch offers

Moto G has been one of the most awaited phone in India since the day it was announced internationally. After Motorola officially stated that the launch details of Moto G will be made public on February 5, Flipkart and Sanpdeal are trying to cash in on the hype surrounding the phone by providing tempting launch offers for the device.

After Flipkart created a signup page promising exclusive offers for those who ordered the Moto G on its day of launch itself, Snapdeal listed the smartphone with some freebies for those buying the smartphone through them.

At first, Flipkart hadn’t provided any details about the exclusive first day offers it was talking about. But later, it updated its Moto G page providing us details about what it plans to reward the first day buyers with, and here is what they get:

• Rs. 500 off on eBooks
• Rs. 1,000 off on Clothing
• 70% off on Colorful Back Covers for the Moto G
• A chance to get 100% cashback (in the form of Flipkart e-GIft vouchers)

And here is what Snapdeal is offering:

• Free 1 GB Airtel 3G Data (some code to let you get that will be sent within 7 days of delivery)
• Free 1 Year Extended Warranty
• Free 1 Year Accidental Warranty (we assume it will be for the first year)
• Free back panel case (not clear whether you will be allowed to choose a color)

Unlike Flipkart, Snapdeal doesn’t state any condition that binds the user to purchase the Moto G within any given time-frame to avail the benefits of the scheme. Though, we are pretty sure that Snapdeal won’t be providing the freebies with the phone forever, so, if you want them, make sure you order yourself one quickly. It is pretty clear that Snapdeal’s offer seems much more tempting than Flipkart’s, though it would be foolish to declare a winner here without looking at what price these retailers will be pricing the phone.

Snapdeal listing also states that the device will be released in the 3rd week of February. It is possible that Flipkart might be the exclusive retailer selling the phone for a small period of time.

Till your wait for Moto G’s Indian launch is over, you can sign up with your email address on Flipkart as well as Snapdeal to get the news as it happens. Otherwise, we are always here to deliver it (news, not the Moto G) to you.

Thanks Rhythm for the heads up about the Snapdeal listing.
