Motorola does not have a mobile phone business, Google absorbed that ages ago. The brand and only the brand was sold to Lenovo.

Phones made by Lenovo with the dead Motorola brand slapped on them. Lenovo had a phone business before they bought the Motorola name and just put it on their phones.

Motorola is Lenovo. Lenovo is Motorola. You’re being needlessly pedantic.

I’m guessing you weren’t around when Motorola was really making phones. Lenovo didn’t buy the company, didn’t hire the staff, Google kept all of the patents. Lenovo bought nothing but the name. It’s not the same thing as rolling Motorola mobility into Lenovo. Nobody who made Motorola phones is involved in making Lenovo phones under the Motorola name.

You’re playing into the idea that Lenovo can just buy the reputation and brand recognition of Motorola without anything that went into that.

Brother I was around when Motorola phones were slung over your shoulder like a briefcase.

I’m not playing into anything. The company that makes the phones is called Motorola. End of discussion.

Confidently incorrect

Motorola mobility is a Lenovo subsidiary
