Motorola Moto Maxx listed on Flipkart's site following last month's teaser (UPDATE)

Last month, we told you that Indian online retailer Flipkart had been teasing an upcoming launch of the Motorola Moto Maxx. This is a non-U.S. version of the Verizon exclusive Motorola DROID Turbo. At the time, Flipkart said that "There's a Moto beast coming your way." That beast could be getting closer as Flipkart has posted more details about the phone, including just about everything but pricing and availability.

The Motorola Moto Maxx features a 5.2-inch screen with a resolution of 1440 x 2560. A quad-core 2.7GHz Snapdragon 805 CPU is under the hood with 3GB of RAM inside. There is a 21MP rear-facing camera with an aperture of f/2.0, and a 2MP front-facing camera for selfies and video chat. A hefty 3900mAh battery keeps the lights on.

Other features include the phone's contextual awareness. While driving to work, the phone will quiet the notifications and give you directions. Recharge the phone for only 15 minutes and you will have up to eight hours of battery life. The phone's Ballistic Nylon rear cover gives the device a premium feel while keeping it lightweight, and the device is water resistant thanks to the application of nanocoating protection.

While this handset is sure to cost more in India than the OnePlus One and the Xiaomi Mi 4 (priced at the equivalent of $306 USD and $322 USD respectively), the Moto Maxx does have some features not seen in the other two phones. That could help Motorola compete in India on the handset's feature set rather than price.


Thanks for the tip, Pankaj!
