Motorola Mobility was established in 2011 following the split of Motorola into two companies, with Motorola Solutions catering to the enterprise segment. Acquired soon after by Google, Motorola Mobility was sold to Lenovo in 2014. Motorola made its first Android smartphone in 2009, and its first Android tablet in 2011.
We've seen the launch of several smartphones in India in 2024, from entry-level handsets to flagship models and foldable phones. The budget segment sees a lot of competition from handset companies in the country, with each new model offering iterative upgrades over their predecessors. Motorola recently launched the Moto G35 5G as its most affordable 5G smartphone. This handset will compete with smartphones like the Redmi A4 5G, Tecno Spark 30C 5G, and Lava Blaze 2 5G.
There are several smartphones that you can purchase under the Rs. 25,000 mark, and most of these handsets offer a good mix of display and camera performance, as well as battery life. The Moto Edge 50 Neo is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 chipset and is slated to receive five years of OS updates and security updates. It is one of several smartphones that compete in this price segment, such as the Nothing Phone 2a, Poco X6 Pro, Vivo T3 Pro, iQOO Z9s Pro, Realme 13 Pro, and the OnePlus Nord CE 4 5G.
The Motorola Razr series has been one of the most recognisable phones in human history. It also sold well and made much money for the now Lenovo-owned Motorola. The flip phones took the foldable flip route in late 2020 and are currently in their 5th generation. We got two phones this year, the Razr 50 Ultra and Razr 50. While the latter looks similar to last year's model, the new Razr 50 is a big upgrade in terms of design when compared to the Razr 40.
Moto G45 5G was launched in India last month as the company's latest addition to the G-series of smartphones. It is the spiritual successor to the Moto G34 that arrived in India earlier this year and features a few hardware tweaks and improvements. A Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset powers the Moto G45 5G and features an IPS LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The rear panel on the handset has a vegan leather finish. It competes with similarly priced smartphones like the iQOO Z9x and the Realme Narzo 70x 5G.
