Competition

Moto G 4G should do well to compete with similar range value-for-money smartphones in the UK such as Vodafone's Smart 4 power, Smart 4 turbo and EE's Kestrel.

Vodafone Smart 4 turbo costs £135 on Vodafone pay as you go and is available for £31.50 per month on Vodafone Red 4G tariff plan.

EE Kestrel costs £99 for pay-as-you-go customers in the UK.

Moto G sales (last quarter) proved that users in the UK prefer value-for-money devices as compared to high-end gadgets.

The 4G network landscape in the United Kingdom has largely been dominated by EE, which was able to achieve most of its six million exclusive 4G-customer target set in 2014.

Vodafone, had stated that the company could woo only 637,000 customers to its 4G network, from the time its 4G wireless services were rolled out in 2013.
