Update (June 12: 12 noon): Moto E is back in stock at Flipkart. Previous stock related updates removed as they serve no purpose.

Earlier (May 23): As promised, Flipkart has resumed Moto E sales. The e-retailer has however warned that only a limited stock of 20,000 units is available, so you will have to hurry otherwise who knows how long this stock is going to last.

Originally introduced on May 13 in India, the Moto E is priced at INR 6,999 and comes with an impressive set of specifications. The phone was released on May 14 in the country via Flipkart but was sold out in just 17 hours. The e-retailer later started accepting reservations for the phone but even back-orders were closed after 24 hours. Moto E has since been out of stock at the website and is returning after almost a week.

Although the exact number of Moto E unit sales in the country is unknown at this point but according to the estimates from import data website Zauba.com, Flipkart has shipped over 1 lakh units of Moto E since the launch (over 50K as a part of the launch day sales and around the same number as the part of back-order sales). This is a pretty significant number for any smartphone to sell in just a matter of one week in India.

Moto E has been getting rave reviews from all over. It is a clear step-up from feature-phones and is the perfect device for any first-time smartphone buyer with a tight budget. The phone comes with 4.3-inch qHD display, 1GB of RAM and Android 4.4. It is powered by 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor and features 5MP rear camera, 1980 mAh battery, 3G, dual-SIM support, 4GB of internal storage and microSD card slot. The phone also includes usual connectivity options, Corning Gorilla Glass and splash-resistant nano-coating.

Here are the relevant links to order Moto E from Flipkart: Moto E White version, and Moto E Black version.

  27. does anybody have any idea when teh black model will be available??as of now i can see only the white one…Should i go for the white one instead??

      1. Yeah ..i Know..I prefer the black one since scratches tend to show less on the black and the white ones usually get dirty very easily…i am eagerly waiting for the white one to become available right now…

      1. let’s see!
        can you give your feedback on high SAR value of MOTO E which is about 3x higher than samsung and nokia devices

      2. The mobile handsets with existing designs which are compliant with 2.0
        W/kg averaged over 10 gram of human tissue, continue to co-exist up to
        31st August 2013. From 1st Sept. 2013, only the mobile handsets with
        revised SAR value of 1.6 W/kg would be permitted to be manufactured or imported in India.

  28. OUTTA STOCK AGAIN…. WTF Flipkart? Why don’t you give more order for Moto E?
