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 the Russian market in 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, the company produced semiconductors, processors, modems, chargers and radios.

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.

Review of prices for new Motorola phone models 2017−2018. with photo

We have collected the most interesting new products smartphones from Motorola in one table with prices.

Photo Characteristics price, rub. (as of April 2018)

Late last week, Lenovo introduced smartphones of the Moto Z family with replaceable Moto Mods as part of the Moto Z + MotoMods Launch Event at the Central House of Artists. 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 Moto Z 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 fine: fast quad-core QualcommSnapdragon820 processor, 4GB random access memory, built-in storage of 32GB is expandable with microSD up to 2TB, a 5.5-inch AMOLED display with QuadHD resolution is protected by CorningGorillaGlass. 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 the 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 optical image stabilization system 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 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 (RUB 22,990) is a curious and unusual accessory that 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 brightness of 50 lumens and a contrast ratio 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 be useful to everyone, - extra 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:

Call the general telephone number indicated on this page technical support, select the fourth option added to the AVR;

Coordinate with a CTDI company representative a courier visit to deliver the device requiring repair directly to the head office service center CTDI company.

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

Photo project Z Difference by Slava Filippov & Alison and concert of the group “My Michelle”

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. In turn, the new owners rebranded and now we know these smartphones as Motorola Moto, and recently they received a slightly different name - Lenovo Moto.

The devices gained their fans for high quality assemblies, regular update Android OS and excellent support. We invite you to get acquainted with the best models manufacturer, which can be purchased in 2018.

Which Moto lines are relevant in 2018?

All Moto smartphones can be divided into 5 lines:

  • Z- top-end devices with an interesting feature in the form of additional Moto Mods, which attach to magnetic connectors on the back of smartphones.
  • X— pre-flagship smartphones with the ability to upgrade to Android 8.
  • G- average level with optimal characteristics and also the ability to upgrade to Android Oreo.
  • E — budget devices with all the necessary functionality.
  • 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.

If the specifications of the Moto E4 are not enough, then you will probably be interested in the Plus version. This modification can offer an enlarged 5.5-inch screen, a 5000 mAh battery, 332 GB of RAM and a 13 MP main camera.

Among the features, we highlight 4G LTE with support for all Bands, which are relevant for the countries of the former CIS. Users will also appreciate the aluminum body and appearance of the smartphone, which looks far from budget.

Starting from the G-series it is possible to upgrade to latest version OS, in our case it is Android 8.0 Oreo.

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.

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

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a flagship hardware that not everyone needs, but you want to be able to hook up Moto Mods, then it’s better to take a closer look at this model. Balanced characteristics, but not exactly what I would like to see in 2018 for such a price. True, you will not feel a lack of speed.

The main emphasis is on modularity, and everything else will fully satisfy all modern user needs. The smartphone is suitable for heavy games, the Internet and watching Full HD videos.

Motorola Moto Z Play smartphone

This model is the youngest in relation to the Z and was released relatively recently. Let's see what makes this smartphone so special:

  1. Equipment and design. Inside the box is a standard set for a modern gadget: a paperclip, instructions, charger Type-C device And back panel. It should be noted that the paper clip is different from those we are used to seeing. Its needle is longer, so do not lose it, otherwise you will not be able to remove the SIM card. The dimensions of the device are as follows: length - 156.4 mm, width - 76.4 mm, height - 7 mm. The model weighs 136 g.
  2. Screen. Alas, this side of the device is not strong. The image is faded, but when watching a video it is not so noticeable. When tilted White color goes somewhere green. For the average user this will not be a problem, but competitors are doing much better with this. However, an indispensable advantage is the longevity of the smartphone, which was achieved not without the merit of the display. So for the screen, a small plus in karma. Diagonal - 5.5 inches, resolution: 1920x1080, nothing new.
  3. Features and performance. Since this is a younger model, it has less appetite. That's why the device was equipped Qualcomm processor Snapdragon 625 and 3 GB RAM. The Adreno 506 video chip is responsible for processing graphics. Game lovers will not be offended: the smartphone can handle many modern games. There is a slot for a MicroSD memory card; the model itself has 32 GB on board.
  4. Autonomy. The battery is not impressive in size, only 3510 mAh, but don’t look at this figure, the smartphone’s battery life is fine. It lives for 2 days on the condition that you use WI-FI, 3G, actively make calls, send messages and play for an hour a day. If you don’t do all this, then you are guaranteed 3 days without charging.
  5. Multimedia. The main camera is 16 megapixels without optical stabilization, and the front camera is 5 megapixels. Pictures taken with the main camera are good for the average user, but at night things are worse. If you are not a photographer by profession, then the camera will suit you. It is better to use the front camera for video calls; the quality of pictures on it is poor.
  6. Operating system. There’s not much to write here, since the smartphone is located under Android control 6.0 with minor additions from the company itself.
The price of Motorola Z Play in Russia is 34,990 thousand rubles. Watch a video review of the device below:

Smartphone Motorola Moto G4 Plus 16Gb


This model is the most advanced in its line for the average price category. And the fingerprint scanner plays an important role here.
  1. Design and equipment. This time Motorola has been a little generous with its packaging, thanks to which we can see standard set from charging, instructions and the box itself - a storage device. It is worth noting that only this model was distinguished by the presence of a charger. Since the model is from the middle price category, there is no need to look for innovations in the design. At the bottom, in a square frame, there is a fingerprint scanner, more like a button. However, it is useless to click on it; it is a scanner. There are no back or home buttons, everything is displayed on the screen.
  2. Display. Size 5.5 inches, resolution 1920x1080. IPS matrix with a density of 401 PPI. Oleophobic coating available. The picture itself looks bright and high-quality; when tilting the device, the colors remain the same, no distortion. In sunny weather, the information on the screen remains readable (thank you for the good brightness reserve).
  3. Dimensions. Length - 153 mm, width - 76.6 mm, height - 7.9 mm. The model weighs 155 g.
  4. Performance. For most users, the capabilities of the Moto G4 Plus will be enough. The model is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor at 1.5 GHz and an Adreno 405 graphics chip. The standard 2 GB of RAM is installed. Built-in memory is 16 GB + the ability to install a memory card up to 128 GB. In practice, the device performed well in games; many popular new products run without problems. The autonomy of the smartphone is a complete disaster. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh. It performed poorly in stress tests; everyone expected a much better result. When producing looped video, the smartphone lasted for 9 hours.
  5. Multimedia. Like most modern models, the G4 Plus has main and front cameras of 16 and 5 megapixels, respectively. Main camera with 1/2.4-inch OmniVision PureCell Plus sensor and f/2.0 aperture. It has a phase detection system and optical autofocus. For those who are far from all these technical terms, let’s just say that the pictures are of high quality.
  6. Operating system. Everything is fine with the OS - still the same Android 6.0, nothing extra, except for 2-3 programs. The user himself installs everything he needs for further work.
The price of Motorola G4 Plus in Russia is 19,000 thousand rubles. More about the smartphone in the following video review:

Smartphone Motorola Moto X Play 16Gb


Smartphone is great solution for those who don't want to take bad smartphone, but there’s not enough money for a flagship. The model combines the best qualities of a budget employee and a flagship.
  1. Design and equipment. According to the configuration - Charger, a special clip for removing SIM cards and paper. The headset will have to be purchased separately. There is a slot for a second SIM card. The device cannot be called comfortable or inconvenient with certainty - it is rather something in between, but the shape is made in such a way that it lies pleasantly in the hand. The surface of the cover is rubberized, so you don’t have to worry about the phone flying out of your hands. There are 2 color schemes to choose from - white and black, but sockets with different colors. The volume rocker is a little annoying: it is not installed very tightly and makes an unpleasant sound when pressed. Dimensions of the device: length - 148 mm, width - 75 mm, height - 8.9 mm. The model weighs 169 g.
  2. Display. Screen size 5.5 inches, resolution: 1920 x 1080, the picture is colorful, clear, and generally pleasing to the eye. The pixel density is 403 PPI. At an angle, the colors are not distorted, and outdoors there is enough brightness to use the phone on a sunny day. There are also 2 color transfer modes in the settings.
  3. Performance. The device contains a Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 with an Adreno 405 video chip. The amount of RAM is standard for smartphones in this category - 2 GB. For that price you could add another 1 GB. The model hardly heats up; only during very complex tasks does it become warm. Games run without problems at medium settings. Battery capacity 3630 mAh. If you don’t load the device with complex tasks, the operating time will be a day or a day and a half. Built-in memory is 16 GB, it is possible to insert a memory card up to 128 GB.
  4. Multimedia. The camera uses a 21 megapixel sensor from Sony. A good solution, it shoots well (FullHD, unfortunately, is not provided), the pictures are of high quality, but at night the quality drops. The 5 megapixel front camera can't boast of anything. Ordinary users will be very pleased, but it should not be recommended to professional photographers.
  5. Operating system. Android 6.0 without any preinstalled programs, except Moto Display. That is, when you pick up the phone in your hand, all missed calls and letters are displayed to you. This does not affect battery performance in any way. Voice search from Google works fine.
The price of Motorola Moto X Play in Russia is 17,000 thousand rubles. More about the model in the following video review:
