new moto g family brings premium connectivity to the market
November 18, 2021
It’s time to meet the newest members of the moto g family, each of which uniquely challenges the status quo of the mid-tier. After 10 generations, Motorola is continuing to celebrate the mission of our best-selling franchise: Bring premium features to all. Today, we announce five new smartphones to empower our consumers to create, connect and share with the world around them.
meet moto g200 5G: lightning fast flagship performance
Moto g200 5G brings the industry-leading performance of the Snapdragon™ 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform to the moto g family. This smartphone was designed for consumers that want flagship-level performance and 5G speeds¹, without paying a hefty price. It combines a premium experience with an incredible camera system, immersive display, advanced wireless audio and transformative Ready For capabilities, amplifying everything this phone is capable of.
Early this year, Motorola ambitiously brought a flagship-level platform to the moto g franchise and we are excited to continue on this path with moto g200 5G. Packed with the Snapdragon™ 888 Plus 5G Mobile Platform, you can play AI-enhanced games that respond 20% faster² to your touch, all powered by Snapdragon Elite Gaming™ that bring desktop-level gaming to mobile. Enjoy unrivaled blazing fast 5G connectivity¹ and the industry’s fastest available mobile Wi-Fi 6E,3 plus capture photos 35% faster² so you get even better image quality.
This Snapdragon Mobile Platform is also enabling the most advanced wireless audio experience on any Motorola phone. With Snapdragon Sound™, enjoy high-resolution music, crystal-clear voice calls, and lag-free entertainment—with superior connectivity and extended battery life. We’ve also brought Dolby Atmos®4 immersive audio technology to moto g200 5G. With astonishing audio depth, clarity, and intelligibility, Dolby Atmos elevates how you enjoy your favorite entertainment on your mobile device through an incredible listening experience that will really blow you away.
The Snapdragon™ 888 Plus also maximizes the gorgeous 6.8” FHD+ Max Vision display. An insanely fast cutting-edge 144 Hz refresh rate makes playing games, watching action packed content, and scrolling on your phone an extremely fluid experience. And with a 25% larger color range thanks to DCI-P3 and HDR10 certification,5 your favorite content has true-to-life colors with improved brightness and contrast, so the picture looks exactly how it’s supposed to – vibrant and lifelike.
moto g200 5G comes equipped with the most advanced camera system in a moto g phone to date, using the same main camera included in our latest motorola edge family. With a 108 MP ultra high-resolution camera, which not only packs more details into every shot, but also improves the quality of digital zoom. Plus, Ultra Pixel binning technology delivers 9x better low light sensitivity by combining 9x larger pixels into one. The result? Incredibly sharp and bright images—even in the most challenging light conditions. moto g200 5G also comes with another advanced sensor that gives you two amazing perspectives in one: ultra-wide and Macro Vision. Last, the depth sensor works with the main camera to blur the background automatically. Then you can go back and adjust the intensity level post-capture by turning it up or down.
Since there’s been a growing focus on creating and sharing content via social media, we made sure moto g200 5G can record cinematic quality videos with the highest video resolution available on a smartphone today, 8K. And to make the most of the incredible hardware, we’re bringing some really cool video software to consumers as well. You can get creative with dual capture mode, which lets you record using both the front camera and rear camera simultaneously. Or use super slow-mo to capture a high definition video recording at up to 960 frames per second, and slow the action way down to see the details your eyes miss at normal speed, and much more.
You’ll also enjoy instant access to your favorite photos, movies, songs, apps, and games with 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 3.1 built-in storage.9 Plus, LPDDR5 memory delivers next-generation performance and peak memory bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, providing 16% faster data processing.8
Moto g200 5G makes a statement with a beautiful design inspired by natural forms and organic architecture. The satin matte finish adds that extra touch of style and sophistication, available in deep Stellar Blue and cool Glacier Green. And with a water repellent design,10 you’re protected inside and out.
Unlocking your phone’s potential with Ready For
For people who are always on the move, sometimes it’s nice to connect to a larger screen for a more immersive experience. Ready For takes all the power of this device and unleashes it for more freedom and flexibility. This versatile platform lets you expand your phone to a larger screen for a more immersive experience. And it’s so easy to use – Ready For offers multiple ways to connect, whether it’s wired, wirelessly,6 or via your PC.7
With Ready For, you can connect to a TV or monitor. This means you have the freedom to catch up on your favorite TV show from anywhere without having to log in, knock out a big work presentation using your phone like a computer with Ready For Mobile Desktop, create content on the fly with advanced subject tracking, or get a more immersive gaming experience by bringing it to any TV or display for a console-like experience.6
We announced Ready For PC7 with the newest generation of motorola edge phones, and now we’re bringing this feature to the moto g family too. By opening a separate phone window on your PC screen, you can take multitasking to the next level and have simultaneous access to your phone and your PC that are connected wirelessly for maximum efficiency and convenience. Plus, you can even use your Moto g200 5G as a webcam, leveraging your ultra high quality phone cameras for video calls on your PC.
empowering more consumers with the new moto g family
In addition to the moto g200 5G, we’re also introducing the moto g71 5g, moto g51 5G, moto g41 and moto g31. Each of these devices offer an array of unique features so every consumer is able to find a phone that suits their needs, from 5G speed, immersive displays, and incredible camera systems to ultra-reliable battery life and amazing performance.
With moto g71 5g, enjoy the bright and colorful views on a dazzling 6.4″ FHD+ OLED display. With a 25% larger range of color,15 images appear vibrant and true to life, you’ll get an unprecedented display experience at an amazing price point. This phone also comes with TurboPower™ 30, giving you 50% of battery life in just 30 minutes of charging.13 A 50 MP main sensor with Quad Pixel technology lets you capture stunning photos even in the most challenging lighting conditions. And the new Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform with improved efficiency provides 5G speeds¹ and smooth performance.
moto g51 5G brings connectivity closer to the future. With 5G you can make video calls without delay and play online without latency. All of this is seen on an ultrawide 6.8″ display with Full HD+ resolution with bright and crisp colors. The experience gets even better with a super smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The 50MP triple camera system is ready to capture any scene in a snap, whether it’s a small detail or a large landscape. And to make all this possible, the Snapdragon® 480 Plus Mobile Platform powers everything for a seamless experience and is faster than its predecessors.
moto g41 offers a 48 MP main sensor with Quad Pixel technology11 that lets you capture amazing photos day, night, and any time in between. Optical image stabilization automatically compensates against blurred images and videos due to unwanted camera movement, so even when an exposure takes longer—say, in low light conditions—clarity and detail shine through. moto g41 comes with the same 6.4″ FHD+ OLED display and TurboPower™ 30 as moto g71 5G, plus you can feel your phone respond instantly to every touch, tap, and swipe with an outstanding octa-core processor.
moto g31 comes with a beautiful 6.4” Full HD+ Max Vision display that has more than 400 ppi for more crisp details and OLED technology for more realistic colors. The 50 MP multi-camera system12 allows you to capture your best memories in amazing detail. And with it, you can go 36 hours on just a single charge.14
Across all our new moto g devices, you can enjoy richer, more resonant sound thanks to Dolby Atmos technology. Movies and TV shows sound phenomenal while music in Dolby Atmos brings you closer to your favorite artists. And if there’s one thing everyone cares about no matter which device they choose, it’s a long-lasting battery life. Each of these phones had a massive 5,000 mAh battery that keeps you powered up for even your busiest days, and all of them included a phone charger in the box .
helpful software innovations
Instead of duplicating the great things Google does with Android, we choose to build on it with a comprehensive suite of tools called My UX. With it, users can take music, videos, games, and device themes to the next level with custom settings. And since My UX doesn’t get in the way of a pure Android experience, users get to enjoy the full power of Android 11 with no clunky software skins or duplicate apps.
We also know security is incredibly important to our consumers, so it means everything to us. With our new moto g’s, you can count on ThinkShield for Mobile. It offers enhanced protection at every level from the factory to the phone, a better secured chain of trust and additional security certifications. On top of these foundational features, we are bringing additional levels of security to our enterprise customers.

New Motorola 312 Labs set up to invent the future
November 11, 2021
Today, Motorola introduces Motorola 312 Labs, a newly chartered internal innovation group within the Motorola product organization, comprising global research, design and engineering experts focused on first-of-its-kind product development. This group will explore the unknown through research, ideation, concepting, and prototyping to usher in radically different mobile solutions and technologies in both the near and distant future. The introduction of the Motorola 312 Labs R&D group at Motorola, a Lenovo company, further supports Lenovo’s mission to double investment in R&D over the next three years.
Motorola’s business has seen impressive growth and profitability, recording its best quarter ever, with profit reaching a new historic high of US$89 million, while revenue grew 27% year-on-year to the highest in 15 quarters. This is thanks to a core portfolio of products like motorola razr, motorola edge and moto g, and services like ThinkShield for mobile and Moto Talk.
Motorola has brought incredible innovation to market such as shatterproof screens, moto mods and the foldable razr, and Motorola 312 Labs will continue to accelerate new technologies to market and assist the wider Lenovo Group. Looking ahead, Motorola 312 Labs is focused on a few key research areas including the connected ecosystem of the future, metaverse evolution, exploring new and unique mobile form factors and wearables, advancing displays, and AR & VR technologies.
“Motorola 312 Labs is uniquely positioned as its mission is to explore the unknown but with a research team that has the expertise to turn a conceptual idea into a reality.” Said Dan Dery, Motorola Vice President of Product. “One of our expertise is understanding the needs of customers, because what’s the point of breakthrough if it doesn’t mean anything to people? That’s a key focus area for Motorola 312 Labs as it looks to the future of mobile technology.”

Global Team of Experts with Roots in Chicago
The name “312” was chosen as it’s one of Chicago’s most well-known telephone area codes. Motorola’s innovation has deep roots in Chicago, IL, USA, supporting iconic devices from the first portable phone to the first clamshell foldable. The team is headquartered in Chicago’s iconic Merchandise Mart, where employees work in over 30 labs, working alongside colleagues in Brazil, China and India.
Working with the values instilled by Lenovo’s Product Diversity Office, Motorola 312 Labs will continue to build a diverse team and ensure a mix of disciplines are brought into fold throughout the innovation process. For example, from a consumer research perspective, a screening process ensures a representative sample of various ages, genders, abilities and races are included in our sessions. This is fundamental to our process.

The Power of Knowledge, Meet Gaurav Juyal
November 10, 2021
Gaurav Juyal is a teacher in a small rural village in the deserts of India. As a child, he never liked the way traditional schooling was structured and always felt there should be more than one way to teach others.

Gaurav believes he has the power and passion to help generate a better future through education, and he’s using technology to do so. He uses the translator in his phone to communicate with children who speak other dialects. He’s become a mentor for children in school and in their communities and delivers motivational workshops focused on art and creativity. He also uses technology as a way to teach design at the university level and to create a way for the design faculty to better collaborate with professionals from across the globe.

The Power of The Sea, Meet Sharon Minkevich
November 4, 2021
Argentinian Sharon Minkevich is a yoga instructor and owner of her own online yoga institute. On vacation 13 years ago, Sharon fell in love with the Chilean beaches and decided to stay and live by the sea. She learned to enjoy and flow with the waves, which is what got her into yoga in the first place.
Once she started practicing, she felt an instant, intense connection with yoga. So intense, that she wanted to share it with other people. Today, Sharon uses technology to bring her classes virtually to people all around the world. With her smartphone, she’s able to help people to connect with themselves, create consciousness and live in a flexible mind and body.
“Thanks to my smartphone and the connectivity I have with it, I can host my classes and share my message, creating awareness in people from all over the world, sharing the energy of each experience, both in person or virtually, regardless of distances or the differences,” said Sharon when asked about how technology has empowered her to achieve her goals.
For Sharon, the sea introduced her to a new passion and career. With yoga, she’s able to make other people feel that same connection she has with the sea, and giving them that freedom is something truly unique.
