According to our latest UK handset vendor share by operators report -- published by our Handset Country Share Tracker (HCST) service -- Motorola is showing robust signs of resurrection at major operators in the UK, including O2, Vodafone and Everything Everwhere in Q2 2014, mainly boosted by the growing sales of its affordable Moto G and Moto E line-ups. Motorola is providing these appealing products at relatively competitive price-points through diverse channels from operators to open retailers. If Motorola's emerging success in Western Europe continues in the coming months (even if the face of Apple's new "iPhone 6" range), it will be sure to make Lenovo, the potential new owner, maintain Motorola's brand for the Western European market ahead of their own.

In addition to the UK, Motorola is also enjoying steadily increasing marketshare in other major Western European countries like Germany and France, which our HCST service also covers. These three reports for UK, Germany and France can be viewed at our HCST service website, and are available to clients.
