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.

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.

By recalibrating the sound as you move your head, Dolby Head Tracking gives listeners a more natural and lifelike experience. When paired with their favorite entertainment in Dolby Atmos, users will also enjoy an even more elevated sound experience with greater clarity, detail, and depth.
Users are in complete control of their moto buds+ with the new moto buds app3, which seamlessly integrates with the entire Motorola Ecosystem and offers enhanced customization options.

With the moto buds app, users also get access to lightning fast pairing, other customizable controls, connection to two different devices, and more.
Phone calls and video chats are free from disruptions on the moto buds+ , even when the weather or background sound isn’t cooperating. Designed with the on-the-go consumer in mind, the moto buds+ boast two triple-mic systems that capture audio from three different points, resulting in better ambient noise suppression and echo cancellation. They also bring CrystalTalk AI, which includes an advanced anti-wind noise algorithm, allowing users’ voices to be heard clearly over loud environments.
Users can count on the moto buds+ to keep up with them all day long since they pack 8 hours of playtime in just a single charge and 3 more hours of listening in just 10 minutes of charging. When the earbuds do need a charge, fueling up on the go is fast and hassle-free with up to 38 hours ready to use with a fully charged case5 and wireless charging.6
moto buds: powerful sound you can feel.
Rounding out the family is the moto buds, which combine a powerful driver and a studio quality Hi-Res Audio certified sound system1 to bring users a balanced audio experience. The large, 12.4mm dynamic driver with professional tuning makes for a crisper, cleaner audio. When listening to music, the moto buds also come complete with a Hi-Res Audio certified sound system¹ that brings a wider dynamic range and 3x more detail², so users can enjoy studio level sound.
