Motorola Mobility – Wikipedia
Motorola Mobility LLC, marketed as Motorola, is an American consumer electronics manufacturer primarily producing smartphones and other mobile devices running Android. It is a subsidiary of the Chinese multinational technology company Lenovo.[3]
Motorola Mobility was formed on January 4, 2011, after a split of Motorola into two separate companies, with Motorola Mobility assuming the company’s consumer-oriented product lines ( including its mobile phone business, as well as its cable modems and pay television set-top boxes ), while Motorola Solutions assumed the company’s enterprise-oriented product lines .
In May 2012 Google acquired Motorola Mobility for US$12.5 billion; the main intent of the purchase was to gain Motorola’s patent portfolio, in order to protect other Android vendors from litigation.[4] Under Google, Motorola increased its focus on the entry-level smartphone market, and under the Google ATAP division, began development on Project Ara—a platform for modular smartphones with interchangeable components. Shortly after the purchase, Google sold Motorola Mobility’s cable modem and set-top box business to Arris Group.

History[edit]
On January 4, 2011, Motorola Inc. was split into two publicly traded companies ; Motorola Solutions took on the company’s enterprise-oriented business units, while the remaining consumer division was taken on by Motorola Mobility. [ 6 ] Motorola Mobility originally consisted of the mobile devices business, which produced smartphones, mobile accessories including Bluetooth headphones, and the home business, which produced set-top boxes, end-to-end video solutions, cordless phones, and cable modems. [ 6 ] Legally, the split was structured so that Motorola Inc. changed its name to Motorola Solutions and spun off Motorola Mobility as a new publicly traded company .
2012 – năm trước : Under Google ownership[edit]
On August 15, 2011, American technology company Google announced that it would acquire Motorola Mobility for $ 12.5 billion, pending regulatory approval. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] Critics viewed Google as being a white knight, since Motorola had recently had a fifth straight quarter of losses. [ 10 ] Google planned to operate Motorola as an independent company. [ 11 ] In a post on the company’s blog, Google CEO and co-founder Larry Page revealed that Google’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility was a strategic move to strengthen Google’s patent portfolio. At the time, the company had 17,000 patents, with 7,500 patents pending. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] The expanded portfolio was to defend the viability of its Android operating system, which had been the subject of numerous patent infringement lawsuits between device vendors and other companies such as Apple, Microsoft and Oracle.

The office on the photo has since been closed .On November 17, 2011, Motorola announced that its shareholders voted in favor of the company’s acquisition by Google for $ 12.5 billion. The khuyến mãi received regulatory approval from the United States Department of Justice and the European Union on February 13, 2012. [ 16 ] The khuyến mãi received subsequent approval from Chinese authorities and was completed on May 22, 2012. [ 17 ] Alongside the completion of the acquisition, Motorola Mobility’s CEO Sanjay Jha was replaced by Dennis Woodside, a former senior vice president at Google. [ 18 ]On August 13, 2012, Google announced that it would cut 4,000 employees and close one third of the company’s locations, mostly outside the US. [ 19 ]On December 19, 2012, it was announced that Arris Group would purchase Motorola Mobility’s cable modem and set-top box business for $ 2.35 billion in a cash-and-stock transaction. [ 20 ]In May 2013, Motorola opened a factory in Fort Worth, Texas, with the intent to assemble customized smartphones in the US. At its peak, the factory employed 3,800 workers. [ 21 ] On April 9, năm trước, following the departure of Woodside, lead product developer Rick Osterloh was named the new president of Motorola. [ 22 ]Under Google ownership, Motorola’s market share would be boosted by a focus on high-quality entry-level smartphones, aimed primarily at emerging markets ; in the first quarter of năm trước, Motorola sold 6.5 million phones — led by strong sales of its low-end Moto G, especially in markets such as India, and in the United Kingdom — where the company accounted for 6 % of smartphone sales sold in the quarter, up from nearly zero. Thes e goals were compounded further by the May năm trước introduction of the Moto E — a low-end device aimed at first-time smartphone owners in emerging markets. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] [ 25 ] [ 26 ] In May năm trước, Motorola announced that it would close its Fort Worth factory by the end of the year, citing the high costs of domestic manufacturing in combination with the weak sales of the Moto X ( which was customized and assembled at the plant ) and the company’s increased emphasis on low-end devices and emerging markets. [ 21 ]
năm trước – present : Under Lenovo ownership[edit]
On January 29, năm trước, Google announced it would, pending regulatory approval, sell Motorola Mobility to the Chinese technology company Lenovo for US $ 2.91 billion in a cash-and-stock giảm giá, [ 3 ] seeing the marketing of $ 750 million in Lenovo shares to Google. Google retained the Advanced Technologies và Projects unit ( which was integrated into the main Android team ), and all but 2000 of the company’s patents. Lenovo had prominently disclosed its intent to enter the U.S. smartphone market, and had previously expressed interest in acquiring BlackBerry, but was reportedly blocked by the Canadian government due to national security concerns. [ 27 ] [ 28 ] [ 29 ] [ 30 ] The acquisition was completed on October 30, năm trước. The company remained headquartered in Chicago, and continued to use the Motorola brand, while Liu Jun ( 刘军 ) — president of Lenovo’s mobile device business, became the company’s chairman. [ 31 ]On January 26, năm ngoái, owing to its new ownership, Motorola Mobility re-launched its product line in Nước Trung Hoa with the local release of the second-generation Moto X, and an upcoming release of the Moto G LTE and Moto X Pro ( a re-branded Nexus 6 ) in time for the Chinese New Year. [ 32 ]Lenovo maintained a ” hands-off ” approach in regards to Motorola’s product development. Head designer Jim Wicks explained that ” Google had very little influence and Lenovo has been the same. ” The company continued to engage in practices it adopted under Google, such as the use of nearly ” stock ” Android, undercutting competitors ‘ pricing while offering superior hardware ( as further encouraged by Lenovo ), and placing a larger focus on direct-to-consumer selling of unlocked phones in the US market ( as opposed to carrier subsidized versions ). [ 33 ] On July 28, năm ngoái, Motorola unveiled three new devices, and its first under Lenovo ownership — the third-generation Moto G, Moto X Play, and Moto X Style — in three separate events. [ 33 ]
Integration with Lenovo[edit]
In August năm ngoái, Lenovo announced that it would merge its existing smartphone division, including design, development, and manufacturing, into the Motorola Mobility unit. The announcement came in addition to a cut of 3,200 jobs across the entire company. [ 34 ] As a result of the change, Motorola Mobility will be responsible for the development and production of its own ” Moto ” product line, as well as Lenovo’s own ” Vibe ” range. [ 35 ]In January năm nay, Lenovo announced that the ” Motorola ” name would be further downplayed in public usage in favor of the ” Moto ” brand. Motorola Mobility later clarified that the ” Motorola ” brand will continue to be used in product packaging and through its brand licensees. The company said that ” the Motorola legacy is near and dear to us as product designers, engineers and Motorola employees, and clearly it’s important to many of you who have had long relationships with us. We plan to continue it under our parent company, Lenovo. ” [ 35 ]In response to claims by a Lenovo executive that only high-end devices would be produced under the ” Moto ” name, with low-end devices being amalgamated into Lenovo’s existing ” Vibe ” brand, Motorola Mobility clarified its plans and explained that it would continue to release low-end products under the Moto brand, including the popular Moto G and Moto E lines. Motorola stated that there would be overlap between the Vibe and Moto lines in some price points and territories, but that both brands would have different ” identities ” and experiences. Moto devices would be positioned as ” innovative ” and ” trendsetting ” products, and Vibe would be a ” mass-market challenger brand “. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] [ 38 ]In November năm nay, it was reported that Lenovo would be branding all its future smartphones under the brand ” Moto by Lenovo “. [ 39 ] [ 40 ] In March 2017, it was reported that Lenovo would continue to use the ” Motorola ” brand and logo, citing its recognition as a heritage cellphone brand. Furthermore, Motorola president Aymar de Lencquesaing stated that Lenovo planned to phase out its self-branded smartphones in favor of Motorola. [ 41 ]Under Lenovo, Motorola has faced criticism for having an increasingly poor commitment to maintaining Android software updates for its devices, exemplified by negative responses to a 2019 announcement that Android 9.0 ” Pie ” updates to the Moto Z2 Force in the United States would only be available to the Verizon Wireless Mã Sản Phẩm. [ 42 ] [ 43 ]
Products[edit]
Razr[edit]
Early Android smartphones[edit]
Droid[edit]
In 2008, Sanjay Jha took over as co-chief executive officer of Motorola’s mobile device division ; under Jha’s control, significant changes were made to Motorola’s mobile phone business, including most prominently, a shift to the recently introduced Android operating system as its sole smartphone platform, replacing both Symbian and Windows Mobile. In August 2009, Motorola introduced the Cliq, its first Android device, for T-Mobile USA. The device also featured a user interface known as Motoblur, which aimed to aggregate information from various sources, such as e-mail and social networking services, into a consistent interface. [ 60 ] [ 61 ]
A month later, Motorola unveiled the Droid, Verizon Wireless’s first Android phone, which was released on November 8, 2009. Backed with a marketing campaign by Verizon, which promoted the device as a direct competitor to the iPhone with the slogan “iDon’t,” “Droid Does,” the Droid was a significant success for Motorola and Verizon. Flurry estimated that at least 250,000 Droid smartphones had been sold in its first week of availability. PC World considered the sales figures to be an indicator of mainstream growth for the Android platform as a whole.[62][63][64] The Droid was also named “Gadget of the Year” for 2009 by Time.[65] Other Droid-branded devices would be released by Verizon, although not all of them were manufactured by Motorola.[66]
In 2010, Motorola released the Droid X along with other devices such as the Charm, Flipout, and i1. In July 2010, Motorola reported that it had sold 2.7 million smartphones during the second quarter of 2010, an increase of 400,000 units over the first quarter. Jha stated that the company was in ” a strong position to continue improving our share in the rapidly growing smartphone market and improve our operating performance. ” [ 67 ] In its third quarter earnings report, Jha reaffirmed that the Droid X was selling ” extremely well. ” [ 68 ]
Atrix 4G, Droid Bionic, XOOM, and Droid RAZR[edit]
On January 5, 2011, Motorola Mobility announced that the Atrix 4G and the Droid Bionic were headed to AT&T and Verizon, respectively, with expected release dates in Q1 of 2011.

[ 73 ] The company also announced new products by late 2011 and early 2012 such as the Xoom 2 tablets, the motoACTV fitness watch with Android, and the Droid 4 with 4G LTE for Verizon Wireless .Though Jha managed to restore some of the lost luster to Motorola Mobility, it struggled against Samsung and Apple. [ 61 ] Even among Android manufacturers, Motorola had dropped behind Samsung, HTC, and LG in market share by the second quarter of 2011. This may have been due to the delay in releasing 4G LTE-capable devices, as well as setting the prices of its new products too high. [ 13 ] Jha was replaced by Dennis Woodside as CEO by May 2012, when the Google acquisition was complete .
Motorola released the Droid RAZR HD (and Droid RAZR MAXX HD) as its 2012 flagship devices, featuring improvements over 2011’s RAZR. A lower end RAZR M was released, along with an Intel powered RAZR i.

In an August 2013 interview, Motorola Corporate VP of product management Lior Ron explained that the company will focus on the production of fewer products to focus on quality rather than quantity. Ron stated, ” Our mandate from Google, from Larry, is really to innovate and take long-term bets. When you have that sort of mentality, it’s about quality and not quantity “. [ 74 ]
1 st generation Moto XSpeaking at the D11 conference in Palos Verdes, California, in May 2013, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside announced that a new mobile device would be built by his company at a 500,000 square-feet facility near Fort Worth, Texas, formerly used by Nokia. The facility will employ 2,000 people by August 2013 and the new phone, to be named ” Moto X “, will be available to the public in October 2013. [ 75 ] The Moto X featured Google Now software, and an array of sensors and two microprocessors that will mean that users can “ interact with [ the phone ] in very different ways than you can with other devices ”.

The Moto X Play and Moto X Style smartphones were announced in July 2015, and were released in September 2015.[33] Many customers who have ordered customized Moto X Pure Editions via Motorola’s website have experienced delays receiving their devices. These delays have been attributed to issues including manufacturing issues, lack of parts needed to complete assembly of custom phones (black fronts, Verizon SIM cards and 64 GB versions), a possible redesign due to initial phones having a defect that causes one of the front facing speakers to rattle at high volume and multiple day delays clearing US Customs at FedEx’s Memphis, TN hub due to issues related to the import paperwork.[citation needed]
