The Moto Z2 Play, Gen 2, 2017, packs way more into its next iteration as the entry-level flagship of the Z series. Add Moto Mods compatibility and it can take sales from its more expensive big brothers, the Z2 and Z2 Force.

Moto was the trendy new name moving forward after Lenovo’s acquisition of Motorola Mobility from Google in late 2014. Fast forward and it is about to change – enter Motorola again.

Moto’s Z series including its new Z2 should be renamed Transformers – with a commitment by Motorola to release at least 12 new mods a year these phones can be anything.

The Moto G series is where Moto packs as much value as it can to produce a mass-market — the $150 to $499 range — phone. On the whole, the G5 and G5 Plus succeed.

One of the best, Android phones in 2016 was the Moto Z with its Moto Mods range that could add a Hasselblad camera, Ingrid battery, pico projector and more.

The Moto G “heritage” is one of premium features without a premium price tag. The all-new Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus remain true to this legacy, delivering what people want most without a premium price.

Apple’s slender market share lead over Huawei or OPPO/vivo may slip in 2017 from number two globally, to number three or even four, a research company claims.

A pioneer, and once the major force in mobile communications, Motorola has been through some interesting times. Back in 2011 Google bought Motorola Mobility, its smartphone and home division, and in late 2014 Lenovo picked up the pieces.

 Moto, a Lenovo company, has announced that the Australian rollout of Android Nougat 7.0 is happening.

Samsung models occupy all the top 10 Android smartphones in use, but strong take-up of Google’s Pixel and XL, and Sony’s Xperia XZ threaten to challenge its dominance in 2017, according to Apteligent, a predictive app intelligence company.

LG was the first to ship a phone with Android Nougat – its amazing new V20. It even beat Google’s Pixel to the punch.

Moto by Lenovo is back — the new Moto Z may well be the best pure Android handset of 2016 — outclassing the new Google Pixel (which iTWire is also reviewing at present).

Moto wants to be seen as innovative, quirky and cool. After several years in the wilderness, going from Motorola to Google to Lenovo, it believes it has regained its mojo – sorry, Moto!

Moto fired some well-aimed shots over the bow of Apple’s new iPhone 7 pending its release of what it says is among the only true innovation shown by any smartphone maker this year.

Moto has fired shots over the bows of the new iPhone 7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 series – it says brand loyalty and habit is no excuse to accept a “new” phone that’s not very different from the old one.

Moto (Lenovo) has released the Moto 360 Sport, a smartphone for serial health nuts – sorry, designed for sports enthusiasts.

Moto’s well priced, well specified, IPX7 water-resistant smartphone is now available in Australia.

Smartwatch sales were down a whopping 32% year-over-year (YoY). That said, Apple was the only one of the top five vendors whose shipments declined.

Lenovo will soon use ‘Moto’ for its high-end devices and Vibe for the mass-market devices – Motorola’s brand has perhaps too much baggage to be really useful any more in the smartphone arena.

Motorola has unveiled its new Moto 360 collection, for men, women and fitness enthusiasts, with more features, more styles, more battery, more apps and more benefits.
