Will Moto E 3 Power be a blockbuster for Lenovo like the Moto E 2nd?...
Historically, the Moto E has been a growth driver for Motorola. Sales of Motorola’s device portfolio skyrocketed 118 percent in 2014 to $1.9 billion, and last year, the company sold 2.6 million smartphones in India over a seven-month period. Recent declines in developing markets this year have slowed sales, lately — its parent company Lenovo’s revenue dipped 19 percent in the fourth quarter of 2015 to $9.1 billion — but Motorola still managed to ship 5 million units.
Lenovo, for its part, is doubling down on the mid-range market. “[Markets like] China [are] still the most competitive … and Lenovo intends to return to growth there by continuing to drive the shift from carriers to open market,” the company said in an earnings call with investors.
“Lenovo will maintain high growth in emerging markets and get the U.S. business back on track with a competitive product portfolio.” In a sign of its ambitions, Lenovo moved production of the Moto E to its Sriperambudur, Chennai facility in India.
However, since the below 9000 band smartphone market is full of competition from players like Xiaomi (Redmi 3S prime), Letv, etc., it remains to be seen if Lenovo / Motorola would be third time lucky???...
