    Motorola has previously introduced several G-series smartphones, like the Moto G64 5G and Moto G85 5G, in the Indian market. The company, owned by Lenovo, is now hinting at the release of a new G-series model.

  • Android 13 Update Released for Motorola Edge 20 Fusion

    Android 13 Update Released for Motorola Edge 20 Fusion

    Motorola has finally rolled out the Android 13 update for its Edge 20 Fusion smartphone, arriving much later than many of its rivals. The update, which is 1.64GB in size, introduces features such as app customization, an improved media player, and detailed notification controls.

    Motorola Android 13 Update: What’s New

    After the update, you’ll observe several enhancements to the Android system and apps. The personalization options have been broadened, allowing further phone customization. You can now style app icons to match your wallpaper by touching and holding a blank space on your home screen and choosing "Personalize."

    The Moto Widget on your home screen has been upgraded. The new expandable Adapt version lets you add and view more information. To revert to the old version or select a different one, drag the current widget to the top of the screen and drop it on "Remove." Then, touch and hold the home screen, go to "Widgets," select "Moto Widget," and drag the version you want to your home screen.

    Settings and Gestures Updates

    Settings changes include the ability to set supported apps to use a language different from your phone’s default. You also gain more control over notifications and privacy, with options to adjust notification permissions and limit photo and video sharing on a per-app basis.

    The Gestures menu has been relocated to Settings > Gestures from its previous position under Settings > System > Gestures, making it easier to turn gestures on or off. These updates offer enhanced control and customization options.

    A Slow Pace of Updates

    While this update is a welcome development for Edge 20 Fusion users, it underscores Motorola’s slow pace in rolling out software updates. Other manufacturers are already testing Android 15 betas, making Motorola’s approach seem lethargic. It is also likely that this will be the last update the Edge 20 Fusion will receive, given that it was launched in 2021 with Android 11 onboard.

  • Motorola’s Moto Tag Tracking Device Confirmed by FCC Listing

    Motorola’s Moto Tag Tracking Device Confirmed by FCC Listing

    Motorola is on the verge of debuting the Razr 50 series foldables on June 25th. However, a recent revelation from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification website shows that the company is also focusing on other product categories simultaneously. The listing pertains to a tracking device named the Moto Tag and includes some technical specifications. Let’s delve into the details of this new product.

    Motorola is working on an iteration of the tracking device it launched back in 2017

    The Moto Tag will feature Bluetooth LE connectivity and will be powered by a 3V battery (CR2032) with a capacity of 210mAh. For comparison, the widely-used Apple AirTag also utilizes the same CR2032 coin cell battery, offering a battery life ranging from 12 to 18 months.

    The tracking device from Motorola comes with the model number – XT2445-1. Although the listing does not provide extensive information, it does suggest that the launch is imminent.

    Certifications and Expected Release

    In addition to FCC and SGS certification platforms, the Moto Tag has also appeared on UAE’s TDRA certification platform earlier this month, confirming its upcoming release in the UAE.

    It’s noteworthy that Motorola previously entered this product category, launching its first tracking device back in 2017. While the new tracking device employs the same battery as the Apple AirTag, it remains to be seen how power-efficient and reliable Motorola’s new Moto Tag will be.

  • Motorola Targets Top 3 Smartphone Maker Spot Globally in 3 Years

    Motorola Targets Top 3 Smartphone Maker Spot Globally in 3 Years

    Lenovo Mobile Business senior vice president and Motorola president Sergio Buniac recently outlined his vision for Motorola’s smartphone division. His goal is to elevate Motorola to one of the top three smartphone brands globally, excluding China. Buniac noted that the company has consistently held its third-place position in both the North American and Latin American markets.

    Motorola is Taking Steps and Seeing Success

    An internal initiative called the “Gladiator Project” has been launched by the company. This plan involves three major changes in business strategy. First, the company aims to expand its business with a special focus on markets outside of Latin America and North America. This marks a significant shift from its previous strategy of contraction.

    Secondly, Motorola plans to strengthen its presence in the high-end smartphone market with its Razr and Edge series devices. Collaborations with brands like Pantone and Bose are aimed at attracting Gen Z, particularly female users, as well as B2B customers.

    Positive Results from Revamped Strategies

    The new strategies are already yielding positive outcomes. The shipment volume of the Moto Razr 40 lineup from last year is reportedly five times higher than its predecessor. In the 2023-24 fiscal year, the company has seen a 12% year-on-year increase in smartphone activations, with high-end phones making up 25% of this growth. Revenue in the Asia-Pacific and EMEA markets has surged by 88% and 40%, respectively. Sergio Buniac believes that Motorola’s smartphone business has transitioned from “fighting for survival” to “fighting for victory” over the past six years.

    In Q4 2022, Motorola’s market share was 6% in the US and an impressive 24% in Latin America, placing it second only to Samsung in the latter region. However, the company’s presence in the Chinese market remains relatively weak.

    Deeper Integration of Artificial Intelligence

    Motorola is also working on integrating artificial intelligence more deeply into its smartphones. Sergio Buniac predicted that in the near future, smartphones will offer a personalized user experience powered by AI based on user interactions.
