New motorola with removable panels. New Motorola products are not the most successful attempts to return to the market

There was a time when everyone almost buried Motorola. But it was not there. I think everyone has already heard about Moto Mods - replaceable back panels with various functions, and the recent IFA 2017 was not complete without Moto-new products. Yesterday Motorola presented a full line of smartphones for the Russian market, at the most interesting models which we will look at.

Moto Z2 Force

Moto Z2 Force is the successor to the already famous Moto Z2 Play model. The new product is powered by Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 835 with GPU Adreno 540, random access memory- 6 gigabytes, physical - 64 gigabytes. Performance level is enough for most modern games and smooth operation of the system. 6 gigabytes of RAM is a sufficient reserve in our time for simultaneous operation of several heavy applications. But the physical memory, with such characteristics, was regretted. However, the device supports memory cards up to two terabytes.

In order to quickly revive a dead device, the phone features TurboPower technology, which allows you to get 3-5 hours of smartphone operation in 15 minutes of charging. In practice, fast charging does not always work perfectly, but there will definitely be a visible acceleration of the charging process.

In 2017, releasing a smartphone without a dual camera is almost bad manners, so the new product received 2 cameras. One of the modules is monochrome, and, in combination with the 12-megapixel main module, is used to calculate the depth of field and obtain a better picture.

The model, like its predecessor, supports Moto Mods, the range of which has been further expanded.

The cost is still unknown (the model will appear on the market in November), but the cost previous model Moto Z2 Play - 34,990. We can predict.

Moto G5S

The Moto G series has also received an update. The characteristics, of course, are more modest - a Snapdragon 430 is installed inside, and there are no replaceable modules, but the user will also get TurboPower technology, a 3000 mAh battery, a 16-megapixel main camera with phase detection autofocus and a 5-megapixel wide-angle front-camera with flash. The result was a simpler smartphone, but with a set of valuable features and a very good design. Among other things, NFC is supported Android Pay, and the body is made of aluminum. The price, in comparison with the Moto Z2 Play, is very pleasant.

Conclusion

The legendary RAZR V3

The history of the brand began almost 100 years ago in 1928. At first it was a small family business of two Galvin brothers. The Motorola brand appeared 2 years later. And already in 1943 the company began to be called by the name of its most popular and best-selling trademark- Motorola.

The Motorola logo was created in 1955

The world's first pager was released by this company in 1956. This development immediately became a hit and a mass product all over the world. Motorola is also credited with creating the world's first cell phone. True, at that time it weighed almost a kilogram and cost $4,000. But this did not prevent the new product from becoming a real breakthrough in the field of mobile technology.

Motorola has been active in Russia since 1993. The brand's phones were popular, and the company's revenues grew. However, after 2006, profits began to decline, and the company had to practically leave Russian market since 2011. Then the division that produced mobile phones was purchased by Lenovo and allowed Motorola to return to Russia in 2016.

Many people know the brand specifically as a phone manufacturer. The Motorola RAZR V3 flip phone model was especially popular. But, in addition to this, the company produced semiconductors, processors, modems, charging device and radio stations.

Google wanted to implement something similar in its Ara project, however, for some reason they stopped their development. Motorola used magnets to dock the new modules to the device. There is no need to disassemble anything, just attach the module and it will lock onto the phone. It is activated without turning off the device. Let's take a look at the lineup of smartphones that support modularity. Today you can find 3 such devices on sale from Motorola. All of them are in the Motorola phone catalog under the index Z.

Only one SIM card can be used. The phone supports all known communication standards, up to LTE category 6. The standard set of interfaces is presented: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, NFC. Navigation can be implemented by both GPS and GLONASS. The main camera can take 13 MP photos and shoot video in 3840x2160 resolution at 30 frames per second. Optical stabilization and autofocus are nice bonuses for the quality of pictures.

5.5-inch screen with a resolution of 2560×1440 AMOLED. The smartphone is not controlled by the latest version of Android 6.0. However, Motorola announced at the end of 2017 that this model included in the list of updates to version 8.0. The price of a new 2017 smartphone from Motorola with attachments is 20,000 rubles.

The American company Motorola is a pioneer in the market mobile communications. Back in 1983, the world's first mobile phone, Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, was released, which weighed 800 grams and cost $4,000. A lot of time has passed, but the brand still remains popular and recognizable.

After dividing the company into Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions in early 2010, the mobile division was sold to Google for $12 billion. The search giant did not make the enterprise successful, so it resold it to the Chinese Lenovo.

WITH- the cheapest Moto smartphones for very modest users.

It should be noted that due to the not very successful last year, the company's sales decreased, which caused a number of speculations and rumors about the demise of the brand. But as it became known at MWC 2018, the company will bring three phones at once - Moto G6, G6 Plus and G6 Play, which will receive new .

In 2017, the company released 11 models, among which we will highlight the most interesting.

Budget

This Moto also received a good 12-megapixel main camera sensor, capable of shooting videos in 4K quality (30 fps). The processor may be from 2016, but you won’t feel any lack of performance at all. This is the maximum version of the smartphone; there are also modifications Moto G5 and Moto G5S, which are closer to budget phones due to the Snapdragon 450 chip and a not so good camera.

In addition, the model boasts an up-to-date chip, large size RAM and a protected case according to IP68, which is not afraid of diving up to a meter and ingress of dirt.

Late last week, Lenovo introduced smartphones of the Moto Z family with replaceable Moto Mods as part of the Moto Z + MotoMods Launch Event in Central House Artist. Presentation of new products, a demo zone, an art party, a new multimedia project Z Difference by the popular glossy photographer Slava Filippov and an exclusive music set from the group “My Michelle” as a bonus - look for all this in our report.

Self-actualization for the sake of, individuality for

Just when we had almost come to terms with the fact that Motorola, the once popular mobile phone brand, had almost withered away, in February of this year it was announced that the legend would return to Russia, now as a division of Lenovo. What did the “M” sheep bring to our already diverse market in the midst of a crisis? The developers of the new line relied on creativity: devices Lenovo MotoZ can be customized MotoMods modules with different specifications. In the name of the sacred idea of “the value of self-actualization and individuality in all your projects and products.” Oh how!

So far there are 4 gadgets: a photo module from Husselblad, a speaker from JBL, a miniature InstaShare video projector and a PowerPack battery. In the meantime, you choose what exactly is closer to you, you can install some nice “backdrop” in place of the module.

Before trying on modules, you need to understand the “launch vehicle”. The peculiarity of the new Z family of phones is that all models (both those that have already been released and those that will appear in the future) are the same size - 5.5-inch diagonal- so as not to bother with sizes.

Apart from the special connector for special extras, how do new scooters differ from the crowds of smartphones on Android?

Moto Z

Senior model Moto Z bears the proud title of the world's thinnest premium smartphone (at the moment) - a thickness of only 5.2 mm was achieved using parts made of stainless steel and aircraft-grade aluminum.

The rest is in order: nimble quad-core processor QualcommSnapdragon820, 4GB of RAM, built-in storage of 32GB expandable with microSD up to 2TB, 5.5-inch AMOLED display with QuadHD resolution protected by Corning GorillaGlass. A fashionable fingerprint sensor is also available, very intuitive and fast. For complete happiness: a water-repellent nano-coating to protect against rain, splashes and spills.

The main camera of MotoZ - with a resolution of “only” 13 megapixels (average compared to other flagships) - produces a very clear and harmonious picture in terms of exposure thanks to the system optical stabilization images and laser autofocus. The front camera compensates for the modest 5MP wide-angle lens and additional flash.

The main pride of the phone is its battery, adapted to human needs, which provides up to 30(!) hours of battery life. The TurboPower™ function allows you to charge for 8 hours of operation in a record 15 minutes.

The stated price of the gadget is 49990₽.

Moto Z Play

Jr MotoZPlay with a similar diagonal, it has a slightly thicker - about 7mm - body with a solid aluminum frame and a glass back panel, a SuperAMOLED screen with FullHD resolution protected by CorningGorillaGlass. Internally, there is an eight-core Qualcomm Snapdragon625 and 3GB of RAM and the same expandable storage as the top version.

Having lost its grace, this smartphone received the most capacious battery in the Moto family - 3150 mAh for 50 hours of continuous operation (with support for the same TurboPower™). The cameras in ZPlay are no different from their “big brother”.

The democratic option will cost you 34990₽.

Moto Mods

Additional "stuff" Moto Mods cling to their “carriers” using powerful magnetic fasteners, making them twice as thick and massive. To begin with, we made 4 modules as a “test of the pen”.

Insta-Share Projector (22,990 ₽) - curious and unusual accessory, which turns a mobile phone into a miniature DLP projector capable of creating an image up to 70 inches diagonally with a resolution of 854x480 pixels and a picture with a brightness of 50 lumens and a contrast of 400:1. The resource of the built-in lamp is 10,000 hours, its own battery (1100 mAh) provides up to 60 minutes of operation without recharging.

JBL SoundBoost (RUB 6,990) - additional column with 27 mm stereo speakers with a power of 3 W and a frequency range of 200–20000 Hz, which will immediately make you the center of kitchen gatherings. The built-in battery (1000 mAh) will allow the barrel organ to work independently for up to 10 hours. The final touch is a convenient retractable stand.

Hasselblad True Zoom (RUB 19,990) turns your smartphone into a real camera with a 12-megapixel 1/2.3-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor, a 10x zoom lens and a xenon flash. The accessory not only takes photographs, but also records FullHD video. By the way, Hasselblad had a hand not only in the author’s module, but also developed software for the built-in LenovoMotoZ cameras.

Incipio offGRID™Power Pack (3990 ₽) will definitely come in handy for everyone - the additional battery increases the battery life of the smartphone to 22 hours (has 2220 mAh). The thickness of the “canopy” is 6.2 mm.

New items have been available for sale in the Russian Federation since the end of November. The idea of modifying a phone depending on the individual needs of the owner has been in the air for a long time. Let's see if Lenovo managed to grab it by the right edge. The company is testing the waters with the help of its advanced four - in the future, manufacturers promise to create more and more modules, including at the request of users.

VIP service for owners of Moto Z smartphones

For the complete comfort of its customers, Lenovo took care of “support”: the company announced the creation in Russia of a VIP service for owners of smartphones of the MotoZ family, which will be provided by CTDI (Regenersis), a service provider for Moto products. In addition to standard options (information can be obtained on the support website at shop.lenovo.com/ru/ru/services-overview/), owners of MotoZ and MotoZPlay smartphones will be able to:

Upon completion of the repair, a CTDI representative will contact the customer again to process courier delivery the repaired device to the owner.

The official description states: "High fashion lies the desire of man digital world to self-expression, to the search for new forms and images; this is a fight against global unification and imposed popular culture sameness.
