So here is a head-to-head smartphone comparison of the devices.
Price: The Yunicorn is priced at Rs 12,999, and it will be exclusively available on Flipkart. But the catch here is that the price quoted is only an initial offer.

It is exclusively available on Amazon India. Both the phones are in the sub-15K category.
Design and display: Despite the low price tag, the Yunicorn features a 5.5 inch full HD display with a bit of premium-ness added to the device as a 2.5D curved glass. The curved glass is not present in other smartphones at this price range. On the other hand, Moto G4 Plus is light and fits easily in your hand and is also a 5.5-inch full HD TFT display.
Processor: The Yunicorn runs MediaTek’s Helio P10 octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz processor. The Helio P10 brings improvements in power management, multimedia and overall processing. YU has paired the Helio P10 with 4GB of RAM, which is the highest in this price segment. While, the Moto G4 Plus comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB storage, or 3GB of RAM and 32GB onboard storage which can also be expanded and gives smooth experience.
