Lenovo Buys Motorola

A week ago, Lenovo purchased Motorola Mobility from Google. They purchased it for a steal at $2.91 billion.

This will be quite an amazing change for Lenovo. You see, Lenovo is not a big company when it comes to phones — at least in North America. Worldwide, they are number five. It’s interesting that Lenovo bought Motorola and not some other mobile phone company. Motorola is an amazing company and Lenovo will definitely take advantage of their expertise when it comes to the smartphone market.

There are two possibilities that may come out of this transaction:

1. Lenovo uses Motorola to compete in the North American market. This allows them to create an even larger technological monopoly and increase sales tenfold. The only thing they have to do is create a smartphone that can either make it or break it for the company. They need to do something revolutionary — a change in the ideal “smartphone.”
2. Lenovo uses Motorola their knowledge of the smartphone to create their own under their own name. From assumption, Motorola will continually build phones under their name, but if Lenovo decides to enter the North American market and they want to make a Lenovo smartphone that can compete, they will definitely need Motorola.

According to articles and extensive videos (including the one after this paragraph), Lenovo bought Motorola Mobility only. This doesn’t include all the patents that was included in the sale of Motorola in 2012. That could mean that Lenovo, Motorola and Google are becoming allies than enemies. Could Lenovo be working with Google? Maybe after this purchase, they can start thinking about other deals, like making a Chromebook with Lenovo as the manufacturer. Interesting, right?

Here’s the video:

He points out some great details about the deal that went on.

Let’s just hope for the best for all the companies in this situation because they are all great companies.

Motorola ATRIX HD LTE

Motorola has been a powerful adversary in the mobile industry. They’ve released multiple phones such as the RAZR, ATRIX and the coming MOTO X.

Honestly, this phone looks amazing. The design is phenomenal and the look of it is just awesome!

I personally own a Motorola phone: the Motorola Atrix HD LTE.

It’s a pretty “old” phone. I got a few months back. When I purchased it, the phone was free for any contracted plan. I usually pay $22/month, so it was a steal. The only reason why it was free was because they were going to take it off the market. I actually got a dying phone. It’s not a good thing, but hey, at least I have a rare phone! Well, not necessarily.

The phone is great. It’s built to perform with a Dual Core SnapDragon Processor. It has 1 GB RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. What’s cool about this phone is that it is built with a Kevlar body and Gorilla glass screen. I can literally drop this on the floor and it wouldn’t break the screen or break the phone. It’s awesome.

It has the Android Ice Cream Sandwich Nexus OS. The GUI is beautiful, but I wish it would be smoother. At times it does lag and with the minimal RAM, sometimes apps crash or even the OS crashes.

The design is beautiful. At first I was not used to the 5” size of the screen, but I’m fine with it now. It has an awesome gun metal black design with the Motorola name on top of its speakers.

Overall, the design is great, the processing is fine and the phone is sturdy. Truly, this one is built for me and my accident-prone hands. I give it a 7 out of 10.
