![]() ![]() Its acquisition of IBM's PC business seems to have done well, and I can only assume that Lenovo has the same intents with Motorola. ![]() Lenovo doesn't have a history of ruining brands. ![]() The good news is that I'm not sad to see the company go to Lenovo. Finally, Motorola is one of very few Android OEMs that doesn't blatantly cheat in a whole host of terrible smartphone benchmarks. Motorola also was the first Android vendor I came across to think of addressing the issue of random IO performance, in this case by deploying a NAND Flash aware file system (f2fs) on the Moto G and X. With the Moto X, Motorola bucked the trend of higher CPU core counts (disregarding their driving-me-to-drink 8-core messaging for a moment) and instead opted for two high frequency CPU cores that ultimately delivered better thermally bound CPU performance than the quad-core alternative. I absolutely understand that's personal preference, but the next three points aren't. The in-hand feel of the Moto X and Moto G remain unparalleled by any competing Android device in my opinion. The transformation of the company post-Google-acquisition has been nothing short of awesome. I'll start off with a bit of praise for Motorola. Given my fondness for the Moto X and Moto G, two of the best ergonomically executed handsets in the Android space from my perspective, I had a bunch of thoughts about this deal that I wanted to get down in writing. Earlier this evening Google announced the sale of Motorola Mobility to hardware manufacturer Lenovo for a deal valued at just below $3 billion. ![]()
