The History of the RAZR: part II

 By Felipe Berhau on June 27, 2016       

We took some time after posting PART 1, but we are back again and today we want you to follow us through the challening years our beloved Motorola faced, and how it got stronger and learnt from its mistakes.

The History of the RAZR: part II

A new beginning? It seemed so. Motorola was aware of the growing popularity of smartphones, so they developed Windows Mobile and Linux phones for the mature Asian markets while Europe and the US would get RAZRs. The MotoMING, a 2006 phone, had an Intel processor, a touchscreen, and even allowed multi-tasking. The moto Q was a qwerty smartphone with Windows Mobile 6.0. But it was not enough. They needed to re-invent the Razr. 

And so they did. May 2007 saw the release of the RAZR2, one of the most advanced phones at the time. Although people didn’t care about the stuff they care today, like processor and OS, the RAZR2 had Linux and was the fastest phone around, with a 500MHz processor. It even had a voice recognition software in which you could dictate an SMS or even open some phone features by voice commands. It even had an external touchscreen in which you could access many of the phone’s features. The phone was shocking, brilliant, and bloody sexy. But the iPhone’s release and competition from others, made it sell less than expected. It did become a bestseller, but it was not enough.

Motorola started to market the phone as the it-phone of 2007. Beckham would have it, Fergie would have it, so everyone else should. During its first quarters, it sold almost the same the iPhone did, but sadly, the Motorola hate bandwagon that we often see around and the press loves to jump into it, was picked up and it became cool to say Moto was not cool anymore. And if you think about it, this has happened many times since then, and then they go and love it again. 2007 is no different from late 2007 or early 2016.

Anyway, what now? Linux brought tons of issues. To begin with, it did not support 3G, something everyone demanded. In addition, the development team at Motorola was slow at getting the 3G support on Linux ready and releasing those phones. One example is the Rokr E8. It was set to be released in the summer of 2007, at the same time the RAZR2 was going to be released, and also the PEBL2 (later called Moto U9). But the software team and a component supplier caused them to be released 6 months later and ruin the product cycle. The phone was fresh and exciting. Even if it was delayed for 6 months it won Phone of the Year at CES 2008, but they released it in June 2008, 12 months after its originally planned released.

Silence before the storm. There was nothing Motorola could do. Its supplier caused them nightmares, the RAZR was still a hit but was not seen as a cool phone anymore, and the RAZR2 couldn't even sell half of what the original was selling after four years of its release. From 2008 until Q4 2009 Moto was silent. Only a few interesting devices were released like Zine ZN5 and AURA, but they were outdated because the Linux delay and supplier issues. 2008 saw the release of less Razr’s, yet they were still selling like hot cakes. 

In fact, the Razr was the best selling mobile in the USA until November 2008, which is remarkable, given the fact that it was a 2004 phone. At least 45 million Razr’s were sold in 2007, and over 15 million in the following year. That's for the original one, while RAZR2 was either reaching end of life through the carriers or being terribly discounted. In fact, they kept releasing V3 variants until 2009 but the Razr2 series  didn't see any improved variant (except for a limited AT&T one which only brought to the US some features that were available in Europe). 

So Moto was quiet, silent, and worried about its future. The economic downturn didn't help, the other divisions under Motorola were being affected, costs were being cut (lay-offs) and investors gave Greg Brown some awful nightmares. He's even confessed through some interviews that there were days/weeks he could not sleep. But remember, Motorola never dies: it has more lives than a cat and has had more comebacks than Jesus. The storm was about to come and Moto was going to take its crown back.

How so? We'll find out in part III.

POLL results: how would you change Moto G4?

 By Felipe Berhau on June 26, 2016       

We asked you some days ago how you would change the new Moto G4 family, and now it's time to report the results. You can check the original poll here.

The new Motorola Moto G4 is an awesome phone for sure, but how would people change it? We asked if there was something to improve, and the responses are in.

To begin with, it seems people want longer battery life, even though its battery is already quite good. In second place comes something that Motorola and Lenovo could do through a software update: people want the original boot animation back. They don't want the "moto" word when the phone boots. Instead, people want to see the beautiful Motorola logo. Maybe they could think a way to merge both, start with the M logo and then the Lenovo logo. That would be cool, and the fans would like it more than now.



In third place, surprisingly, comes NFC, which was omitted from Moto G4 phones. NFC is becoming popular for mobile payments, so it's understandable. This is quickly followed by design and internal memory. We thought its design was good, although the fingerprint button made it look unlike any previous Motorola phone. The normal G4 and G4 Play, however, share a nice design language that the critics are praising.

Did you miss the poll? Tell us what you think about the results.

Is Motorola Moto G 4th Generation Worth Buying ?

 By Vaibhav Jain on June 25, 2016       

2016 Moto G's i.e Moto G4 , Moto G4 Play and Moto G4 Plus were launched few weeks back with amazing specifications . Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are now available in few markets while Moto G4 Play will be available by the end of summer .



According to me , Launching Motorola Moto G4 is a big mistake done by Motorola and Lenovo . Either Motorola should have named Moto G4 Plus , The Moto G4 or They should have made 5 inch Smartphone called The Moto G4 ( with same specs as original Moto G4 ) .

Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus comes with same specification , Only the difference is Moto G4 Plus has a Fingerprint sensor and a 16MP Auto Laser Focus Camera . The difference between the two devices is only 1,000/- INR / 14.7$ .



Of course , one would buy Motorola Moto G4 Plus by spending 1,000/- extra . From Moto G 1st Generation to Moto G 3rd Generation , Motorola was pricing the Smartphone wisely . But This time it makes no sense of launching Moto G4 at a price of Moto G3 Turbo .
