Lenovo-owned Motorola is nearing the launch of its latest in the budget Moto G series of smartphones and it seems Southeast Asia will be the first region to get a taste of the company’s Moto G6 and Moto E5 range. The phones have been spotted on TKDN and NBTC certification portals in Indonesia and Thailand respectively, similar to TENAA in China. Moto G6 Play has also been spotted on Malaysian certification website SIRIM. A report suggests the handsets will be launched in other Western countries after an Asia unveiling.
