Motorola to launch its first wireless earbuds in India, likely to be Buds and Buds+

Motorola is expanding its presence in the Indian market by introducing a new lineup of wireless earbuds. In a recent social media teaser, Motorola India confirmed its plans to introduce new earbuds in the country. Although the company has not revealed specific models or additional details, the teaser highlights the design of the charging case for the earphones and hints at potential colour variations for the upcoming earbuds.

One of the teasers shared by Motorola India on its Twitter page reveals the complete outlined image of the charging case for its Motorola-branded true wireless earphones, with the tagline "Sound of Youth." The teaser shows the outline with different shades of dark blue, light blue, red, and yellow, hinting at the available colour options for the upcoming earphones. Additionally, the teaser features drops of water on the case, indicating that it may have splash or water resistance.

Apart from the teaser and small hints, Motorola has kept everything under wraps. The company recently launched the Moto Buds and Moto Buds+ in other countries, and it is possible that now it is bringing the devices to India.

The charging case shown in one of the teasers closely resembles the design of these existing models.
