Surprisingly, despite their low-end specs, Moto has included a LED flash at the front of both handsets. Moto has not revealed the full specifications of both handsets and it’s clear why. These are out and out low-end Android smartphones packing the very bare minimum of specs and features as evident from the amount of RAM they pack and their other specifications.

The Moto C has been priced at €89, while the Moto C Plus starts at €119. The handset will be available in various countries across Latin America, Europe, and Asia Pacific starting this spring.
