Flipkart announced its limited period ‘Mobiles Mania‘ sale just ahead of the Moto G4 Plus launch and has listed older Motorola devices under huge discounts. Flipkart silently announced the following discounts on Moto devices: When we first witnessed the news about the discounts, it was a bit hard for us to believe why Motorola is following such strategy at the time when they have launched a fresh smartphone in the market. When investigated, we got to know that Motorola is not advertising about the discounts anywhere; else it would have released a press note for the same. So the question is- Is this official price cut by Motorola? After being aware about the discounts on Motorola devices, Rachna Lather, Marketing Head, Motorola India clarified in an official statement “This is with reference to the price reduction of Moto smartphones on Flipkart. We have not officially announced any discount on any of the Moto smartphones available on Flipkart. This has not been endorsed by the brand.” As you have read the official statement, the answer to the question is very clear. The discount on Motorola products has been offered by Flipkart itself. So before it gets more confusing, we’ll help you understand what has happened.
Cutting down the prices of Motorola phones will surely hit the sales of the new Moto G4 Plus. A lot of consumers will be dissected towards the sale and Moto may miss the kind of start they were expecting. Reacting to this, Motorola has cleared its intensions that it is not going to take this case for granted and will surely question Flipkart about the issue.
