Pushing Boundaries: Motorola and Corning’s North Pole Expedition
October 23, 2024
At Motorola, a Lenovo company, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with mobile technology, and our latest collaboration with Corning Incorporated takes that mission to a whole new level. By combining our unparalleled innovation with Corning’s expertise in glass technology, we embarked on a unique journey to the North Pole to test the limits of the camera technology and overall durability of some of our newest smartphones —the motorola razr+/ razr 50 ultra and motorola edge 50 ultra.
Motorola followed Po Ki Yuen, a recently retired Corning engineer and adventure photography enthusiast, on his journey to one of the Earth’s most remote and challenging environments. The North Pole expedition was more than an adventure—it was a real-world test of how these cutting-edge devices could perform under extreme conditions. Motorola’s sleek smartphones, equipped with exceptionally durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass, were put to the ultimate test while on this journey: the unpredictable weather of the Arctic.*
“There’s beauty everywhere on the planet, even in the toughest conditions. I want to capture all of it,” said Po Ki. “Not only was the North Pole a physically tough environment, but the remoteness challenged me mentally as well. I was really eager to put these devices and Gorilla Glass to the test.”
“Over the years, Corning’s advanced materials have played a critical role in helping Motorola deliver smartphones that not only combine strength and style but are also built to last”, said Ruben Castano, VP of Design and Consumer Experience at Motorola. “This latest collaboration at the North Pole is a testament to the shared values of our partnership as we push the boundaries of what’s possible when it comes to the performance of our devices in even the most extreme environments”.
Equipped with Corning’s renowned Gorilla Glass, motorola razr 50 ultra/razr+ and motorola edge 50 ultra were better protected from drops and scratches brought on by the inhospitable landscape, ensuring that Po Ki never missed a moment. Whether it was hiking through snow or handling equipment in freezing temperatures, our devices provided Po Ki with a seamless content capture experience.

“Corning and Motorola have a long history of collaborating to create devices that are incredibly durable – no matter where life takes you,” said Dave Velasquez, Vice President and General Manager, Corning® Gorilla® Glass. “Whether you’re stepping out of your front door on your daily commute or setting off for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure like Po Ki, Corning has engineered Gorilla Glass to be tough enough to meet the moment.”
In addition to testing the devices’ durability, Po Ki took advantage of his advanced camera technology to capture the stunning landscapes and wildlife. For example, the Photo Enhancement Engine made it effortless to capture perfect photos with every shot. No personal expertise required, it uses AI to simultaneously apply settings from multiple shooting modes into one to deliver peak quality. From gorgeous, high-resolution landscape photos and videos to close-ups of polar bears, Po Ki was able to finetune every image for optimal detail, clarity, highlights, shadows, color, and bokeh, perfectly conveying the vastness and serenity of the Arctic.

The motorola razr 50 ultra/razr+ compact and foldable designs also made them ideal for travel in such an environment. The sleek form factors of the razr+ and razr made them easy to carry on long hikes. Whether folded up in a pocket or used to capture wide Arctic landscapes, the devices proved both beautiful and functional.
Now, Motorola and Corning are excited to bring this epic North Pole adventure to the world through a month-long social media campaign. Starting today, the campaign will showcase Po Ki’s stunning photography and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage. Throughout the campaign, we’ll be sharing stories of durability, photography, and design across our social platforms, highlighting the incredible capabilities of our devices in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
Stay tuned as we take you on a journey to the top of the world, sharing content that demonstrates the power and beauty of Motorola’s latest smartphones.

Motorola introduces world’s first smartphones to feature Pantone™ Validated camera and display
April 16, 2024
Validations strengthen Motorola’s partnership with Pantone and extends color accuracy and expertise beyond hardware
The power of color is undeniable. Influencing what we wear and even how we think and feel, color is at the root of our every day. At Motorola, this belief has fueled our device approach and inspired our Pantone partnership. Since 2022, we’ve incorporated Pantone across our portfolio, bringing its impactful shades to consumers. From the motorola razr 40 ultra/razr+ sporting the Pantone Color of the Year 2024, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, to the motorola edge 40 neo debuting a full lineup of Pantone-curated colors, and the PANTONE 18-1750Viva Magenta moto g84 5G, consumers can choose a smartphone based on Pantone to reflect their personal aesthetic, regardless of budget or style preference.
Today, Motorola is moving beyond color and finish selection and pulling Pantone’s expertise into the device display and camera tuning with Pantone™ Validated and Pantone SkinTone™ Validated. These patent pending technology programs test a manufacturer’s device to ensure authentic, Pantone colors and skin tones. To pass Pantone’s strict grading criteria, the product’s camera or display must maintain the color fidelity of the diverse colors found in the Pantone PMS and SkinTone guides.
Essential for content creators, photographers and designers, these programs give consumers true colors that can help them tap into their creativity and bring their ideas to life. As reflected within the device technology, Pantone’s display and camera assessments are recognized on the new motorola edge 50 ultra and motorola edge 50 pro – the first world smartphones to receive these program accolades.
“This next step in our Pantone partnership allows our users to capture and view color and skin tone on their smartphone and know that these shades are authentic and true-to-life,” Ruben Castano, Head of Customer Experience at Motorola, said. “It’s important for us to instill color confidence and strengthen inclusivity for our users, and we’re thrilled to lead the industry in this effort.”
By utilizing Pantone’s design prowess at each stage of device development, Motorola is delivering authentic colors to allow users to share their spectrum of experiences.
“We believe in creating product trust around skin tone and Pantone color fidelity and are gratified to see Motorola leading the way in leveraging these features within their devices,” Iain Pike, Senior Global Director of Product and Licensing at Pantone, said. “Expanding inclusion in the mobile space is meaningful, and we are excited to be a part of this development.”
Pantone™ Validated and Pantone SkinTone™ Validated features are now available on the motorola edge 50 ultra and motorola edge 50 pro. Stay tuned for more information on availability for future devices.

Motorola releases special edition razr and edge devices, the first and only smartphones to launch in Pantone Color of the Year 2024
December 7, 2023
– The motorola razr 40 ultra/motorola razr+ and motorola edge 40 neo will be available in PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz
– This marks the third year of the exclusive collaboration focusing on the importance of building connection and empowering self-expression for consumers
Motorola and Pantone, the global color authority, have teamed up for the third year to create devices in the Pantone Color of the Year. The Pantone Color of the Year 2024, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, reinforces the importance of human connection and so do the devices chosen to represent it – the motorola razr 40 ultra/motorola razr+ and motorola edge 40 neo.
The Pantone Color of the Year, announced by the Pantone Color Institute, is an educational program reflecting on the symbolic nature of color. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Pantone Color of the Year program with the chosen color PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz. A velvety gentle peach hue, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz has a cozy, tender essence that embodies feelings of togetherness, community and collaboration.
Of their continued partnership, Ruben Castano, Head of Customer Experience and Design at Motorola, said, “As technology becomes intertwined with humanity, we trust color to provide a tool for expression and deeper, more meaningful experiences with our devices. This includes going beyond devices and into the software itself. The Pantone Color of the Year 2024 does just that as it blends the virtual world we live in and our desire to establish deeper connections and well-being.”
The choice of PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz complements Motorola’s mission to make technology more accessible and help consumers use technology to connect intentionally. When selecting devices to feature PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, Motorola reflected on the color message and its emphasis on the power of human connection, finding that the motorola razr 40 ultra/motorola razr+ and motorola edge 40 neo embodied this mentality.
Available globally, the motorola razr 40 ultra/razr+ is built for connection and collaboration and lets expressive individuals stand out from the crowd with its iconic, flippable design.
The motorola edge 40 neo is a device that puts color at the center of design. And the PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz hue in vegan leather beautifully complements the device’s warm, contoured design, engaging one’s senses and kindling the imagination.
Both devices are designed with connection and personality at the center and offer features developed to enhance our common humanity. These include Motorola’s latest software offerings, Moto Unplugged and Family Space. Both of these apps embrace the balance between connectedness and rest, security and boldness. Moto Unplugged centers around the importance of taking mindful breaks from our device to be more present with ourselves and those around us, while Family Space encourages families to explore technology with guidance and grace.
“It has been wonderful to work with Motorola and see their dedication to enabling creativity, connection, and personalization through color across their devices, and this year’s color carries particular importance to harnessing connection, community and personal wellbeing,” Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Color Institute, said. “Our Pantone Color of the Year 2024, PANTONE 13-1023 Peach Fuzz, seamlessly blends the virtual and real life, making it an ideal color for the physicality of digital devices. We are excited to see how our audiences leverage the features Motorola offers to enable and facilitate further connections.”
The motorola razr 40 ultra/motorola razr+ and motorola edge 40 neo in the Pantone Color of the Year 2024 will be available in select markets worldwide. For full pricing information and specifications, visit our website.
