Happy Birthday, MOTOROLA!


September 25, 1928 was the day Galvin Manufacturing Corporation was founded. A few years later, it changed its name to Motorola, after a very successful portable consumer radio called "Motorola" was released by the company. It was so popular that they had to change the company's name after that product. The name came up by mixing Motor, from automobiles, and Ola, from sound.



Since then, the Motorola brand has become the standard for quality and innovation in many consumer product categories. From Walkie-Talkies to pagers, from TVs to home networking devices, Motorola represents the best of the 20th and 21st centuries, and is still as relevant as ever.




After 2011, Motorola separated into two different companies: Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility. While Motorola Solutions creates business, industry, and public-safety products, Motorola Mobility focuses on consumer products like smartphones. At the same time, Motorola Mobility looks after its brand licensing business, in which you can find Motorola Home and Motorola Accessories. This business is always expanding to new categories. In fact, we just found out there are some smart Motorola-branded lamps on the way. How cool is that?!




The Motorola brand is loved by most of us and will go forward as trendsetter. Its name and the batwing logo represents a lot: memories, dreams and history. And I'm not saying this because I'm the biggest/craziest fan/collector, I say it because it's the truth of the matter. Motorola is the best...

Google Pixel and Pixel XL to be IP53 certified

Google Pixel and Pixel XL to be IP53 certified


Google is now all set to reveal the new Pixel Smartphones on October 4. We have already seen multiple leaked images and information about the two new htc-made devices.

According to new reports, Both the Pixel and Pixel XL will offer some protection against the elements thanks to an IP53 certification.



If you are wondering what does "IP53 certification" mean? The "5" Means the Smartphone will be dust-resistant (Not completely dust-proof), while the "3" indicates" thhat "water falling as a spray at any angle up to 60-degrees from the vertical shall have no harmful effect" on the Devices.

Yes, This is indeed disappointing as we were expecting an iPhone competitor from Google.
