On the other hand, Lenovo is cutting down the dual-brand strategy in the global phone market. Also, the company is planning to launch only Moto-branded phones in most of the global markets.

This hints that Lenovo-brand will be retired in most of the markets across the world, be it Vibe series or ZUK series. However, Indian market gets an exception from this but not the Lenovo Vibe phones again.
“In India, we have seen that the two brands are doing well. Although we will not launch any Vibe phones anymore, in India there will be some Lenovo-branded phones,” says Huckfeldt. “In India, we have seen that there is no cannibalisation (between the Moto and Lenovo phones) and that the two brands complement each other,” he added.
Lenovo is narrowing the product lineup with less number of phones. Although Lenovo Vibe gets discontinued, Lenovo K phones or Note phones will be available for sale in India. Interestingly, Lenovo Vibe has gained huge attention in the budget market while Moto phones attract with features and prices.
