Motorola’s next flagship phone is called Moto X, will be built in former Nokia plant in Texas (updated)

Motorola's next flagship phone is called Moto X, will be built in former Nokia plant in Texas

Outside of possible FCC filings, Motorola has largely been coy about just what its next major smartphone will be — until now. The firm’s Dennis Woodside just revealed at D11 that the new flagship will be called Moto X (previously rumored as the X Phone), and that it will be built in a Fort Worth, Texas factory that was once used to make Nokia phones. Woodside isn’t giving away many details at this stage, although he teases that the smartphone will “know what you want to do before you do.” Oh, and he has a Moto X in his pocket… not that he’s about to show us anything just yet, of course. If you’re curious about Woodside’s actual quote, it’s below:

“It’ll be the first Motorola smartphone built in the United States. It’ll be built in Texas — we’ll employ around 2,000 people. It’s right outside of Fort Worth in a 500,000 square foot facility that was previously used to build Nokia phones.”

Update: Woodside had two extra nuggets while on stage — he mentioned that the Moto X will be “broadly distributed” across numerous carriers, a rarity for Motorola smartphones in recent years. Specifically, he noted: “The Moto X is going to be broadly distributed — that’s a first for Motorola in a number of years. The support of the carriers has been fantastic.” In other words, this won’t be a Nexus device, and you can count on some amount of skinning and bloatware to muddle things up. On the issue of battery life, Woodside said: “I’ll save the details for later, but [the industry issue of] battery life is a huge problem. Motorola has some of the world’s best engineers and systems designers who spend their lives on that problem. There are two processors in the device that creates a system that allows you to do such a thing.” Two processors, you say? Fascinating!

Judge rules that Motorola’s patents aren’t worth the $4 billion a year it demanded from Microsoft

| Author:

Motorola-logo-razr-maxx_1020_large

A judge presiding over a legal battle between Microsoft and Google-owned Motorola issued a ruling today that valued elements of Motorola’s patent portfolio far below what the company felt they were worth — by a difference of over $ 3.2 billion a year.

The two companies have been locked in a legal battle over Microsoft’s use of several Motorola patents that are part of the 802.11 Wi-Fi and H.264 video standards. As such, they’re considered standards-essential patents, and must be licensed to other parties at a reasonable and non-discriminatory (RAND) rate. According to Redmond’s attorneys, Motorola violated that pact by asking far too much to use the patents in question — its initial request was 2.25 percent of the price of each…

Google’s Larry Page Talks Improving Nexus Hardware Supply, Motorola’s Opportunities For Device Innovation

| Author:

nexus4-8

Google ’ s conference phone call concerning its quarterly earnings were mainly rehashing of styles we ’ ve heard before– cross-platform stays a concern. But Google CEO Larry Page had a few words to share about hardware in his very own kick-off spiel. Page reiterated what we ’ ve heard recently about hardware supply levels from the Google Play shop, and dropped (it ’ s a pun, you ’ ll see why later) a hint around exactly what Motorola is doing at Google in terms of hardware.

Page stated that there is “ work to be done managing our supply better … which is concern for the teams. ” While it isn ’ t extremely comprehensive, it is at least acknowledgement that the concerns around low supply for the hard-to-get and quite in need Nexus 4 are complete recognized by the really leading brass at Google. Page ’ s remarks didn ’ t presume as French LG Communications Director Cathy Robin, who promised much better supply by February last week, but they show both Google and LG are cooperating to resolve the backlog.

Likewise on the hardware front, Page chatted briefly about Motorola, and exactly what they ’ re doing in regards to providing development on that front from their brand-new position under the Google umbrella. Page were more cagey on this front, however he did develop possibly informing instances of exactly what kind of problems they can be looking at. “ Battery life is a significant problem, ” and the added that you shouldn ’ t need to constantly fret about your gadgets, keeping in mind that, for example, “ When you drop your phone, it shouldn ’ t go ‘ splat. ’ ”

Clearly, these are apparent pain points for mobile gadgets: resilience and long life in regards to device battery life. If Motorola ’ s hardware engineering team is really being put to work on materializing enhancements these and other major smartphone sore spots, I ’ m material to wait and let things percolate a while longer before we see the union flourish. We haven ’ t yet seen exactly what Google will do when it holds the reins with Motorola ’ s hardware department, due to the fact that as Google ’ s Patrick Pichette pointed out on the telephone call, the company is still working with Motorola ’ s existing hardware pipeline, which he said accounted for about 12-18 months of releases at the time of acquisition.

The RAZR M, Motorola’s Clever Answer To The $ 99 iPhone 4S

| Author:

scaled.Sequence 1 01

Motorola unveiled the new RAZR family members at a huge media gala in very early September. The business happily presented the supercharged RAZR HD and RAZR HD MAXX. The $ 99 RAZR M stole the show. The 4.3-inch RAZR M LTE packs a ton of the exact same products as its bigger equivalents. For merely $ 99. And the M is readily available now as the others will be produceded later this fall. Here ’ s the thing: this is Motorola ’ s best answer to the iPhone yet.

Apple will introduce the brand-new iPhone next week. It will likely sell for the bargain rate of $ 199, pushing the existing style, the iPhone 4S, down to simply $ 99. The 4S still has one of the greatest camera systems, and individuals adore Apple ’ s iOS environment. At merely $ 99, the iPhone 4S will certainly prevail over most finances Android mobiles. That ’ s why the RAZR M is readily available now and why it stands a possibility. This is a fantastic phone at an excellent price.

Click to watch slideshow.

I ’ ve utilized the M for the last few days. As Jordan shows in the video recording below, it ’ s an extremely capable phone. There ’ s a touch of lag on the Android 4.0.4 install and the haptic comments appears off by a few milliseconds. The display is really bright and sharp. The build quality is sensational; it feels wonderful in the hand. This is a fine choice to the iPhone 4S. It ’ s most certainly the greatest Android phone at this cost point.

Walk into many wi-fi shops and you ’ ll quickly see a huge selection of huge Android phones. And the iPhone 4S. By going huge, Android handset producers have actually left the iPhone to be essentially the sole option with a small form aspect. The RAZR M unexpectedly offers the iPhone 4S some direct competition with a type factor that ’ s very similar, but with a bigger display and the Android operating system.

The RAZR M makes use of a huge screen in a novel way. Motorola claims the M has extremely thinnest bezel of any type of phone. It ’ s most certainly little, a couple of millimeters thinner than the iPhone 4S ’ s. In reality the M matches up extremely carefully to the proportions of the iPhone 4S. It ’ s a touch longer, but the two phones have essentially the exact same thickness and the M is merely bit wider. Motorola managed to cram a ton bigger display onto the phone. And that counts for a ton.

Android producers are relatively tossing every little thing they have behind a solitary crown jewel. These mobiles, like the Samsung Galaxy S III and RAZR HD, have massive screens and as numerous hardware attributes as feasible. They ’ re superphones. And judging by the Samsung GSIII ’ s sales numbers, customers have shown that they such as superphones. The smaller iPhone additionally says that there are a really good piece of individuals thinking about a phone of even more modest proportions.

An increasing number of consumers are acquiring smartphones. The market is changing quickly, and with that, consumers need options at every rate point. Not everyone prefers the big Moto RAZR HD or Samsung Galaxy S III. Some prefer Android over iOS. Some do not wish to invest $ 200 on a phone. And with the RAZR M, Motorola is supplying a fresh mobile instead of simply dropping the rate on older hardware.

At the very least, that’s better turnaround time than Apple usually manages for its event.

Motorola’s Droid RAZR M 4G LTE Gets Detailed Ahead Of Official Unveiling

| Author:

razrm

In case you hadn’t heard yet, next week is going to be an occupied one for device fiends– Amazon’s got something brewing on the 6th, while Nokia and Motorola will certainly be duking it for eyeballs since both have launch occasions arranged for the 5th.

Report has it that both of them will certainly also be revealing a pair of new smartphones– Nokia has the Phi and the Arrow, and Motorola is anticipated to pull back the curtains on the RAZR HD and the newly-leaked Droid RAZR M 4G LTE.

Yeah, so the name isn ’ t very motivated. Exactly what else is new?

Engadget got their aggregate hands on some tantalizing pictures of the familiar-looking Ice Cream Sandwich-powered phone, and while it doesn’t quite exude style the same means the original Droid RAZR did, I presume more than a few prospective clients won’t mind. It does not hurt that Motorola handled to squeeze a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED advanced display, a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon MSM8960 chipset, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, and a pair of eight and three megapixel video camera (on the back and front, respectively) into a 4.4 ounce package deal. And as always, Motorola put (device) security initially by wrapping the display in Gorilla Glass 2 and the back in its now-standard Kevlar trim.

As slick and as understated as this thing looks, its mid-range specs suggest it shouldn ’ t take excessive limelight away from the long-awaited RAZR HD. Now that I consider it, the RAZR M’s spec sheet bears a solid resemblance to that of the Atrix HD, a device that I found myself truly enjoying in spite of my misgivings. Sure, there are some trade-offs– the RAZR M’s display isn’t quite as big, and its resolution isn’t as high, however it crams a solid spec sheet into a body that does not make me slump when I consider it. All Verizon has to do is slap a reasonable price on this little man and it ought to have a real contender on its hands when holiday buying frenzy soon makes animals of us all.

Gallery Photo: Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx review pictures

When Motorola introduced its bootloader uncovering program earlier this week, we had high hopes that its incredibly minimal list of supported tools would soon broaden. Unfortunately, the company disclosed on Twitter that relieving older smartphones from the tyranny of Motoblur was “not presently in the plan.”

The statement came in response to a user that asked if tools like the Droid 3, Bionic, or Droid X2 would be included in the program. While the news does not come as a substantial surprise, we ‘d wished that Motorola would follow HTC’s lead in delivering unlocking devices for a wide assortment of gadgets.
