5 things you may not know about the moto g family

May 14, 2021

Since creating the mid-tier smartphone market in 2013, moto g has revolutionized the industry by delivering incredible, fully-featured mobile experiences at affordable prices. We always prioritize the key experiences and features that smartphone users tell us are important through our ongoing consumer research. But what has really motivated us to continue delivering products with the features that matter most to our consumers is the challenge of meeting the increasingly high expectations of our consumers in this category and enabling them to communicate, share and discover with the world around them.

Now, 8 years later, we’re sharing 5 facts you may not know about our moto g family:

#1 The mobile industry followed Motorola’s lead on mid-tier.

When we introduced the first generation of moto g, we set out on a mission to make meaningful, yet innovative technology more accessible to consumers all around the world.

With each generation of moto g, Motorola has shaped the mid-tier market, making features previously exclusive to the premium market available at a more accessible price point. This is how moto g has not only stayed competitive, but also thrived among users across the globe. From impressive battery life and powerful performance to exceptional camera and entertainment experiences, the moto g family delivers the features that matter most to consumers without the hefty price tag.

#2 Motorola has shipped more than 125 million moto g smartphones since the first generation was released.

Over the years, the moto g family has proven to be one of our most popular franchises among moto fans. Across the globe, we’re continuing to lead the pack in this category with North America taking the #1 spot in the mid-tier category and LATAM also capturing #1 in the category in its core markets. And, now, with over 125 million moto g devices shipped since 2013, this means even more consumers across the globe have access to the technology that enables them to connect with their world.

#3 Motorola was one of the first brands to announce a mid-tier device with 5G technology (moto g 5g plus) and the first to offer a 5G smartphone for under $400 (moto g50).

In 2019, the moto z3 combined with the 5G moto mod became the world’s first commercially available smartphone to connect to 5G in 2019. Now with additions like the moto g 5G plus and moto g50 (just two of our four mid-tier 5G devices available worldwide today), we’re bringing the power of 5G into more consumers’ hands and are excited to continue to deliver accessible technology through our moto g family.

#4 Motorola is one of the first smartphone manufacturers to bring the latest 800-series chipset to the mid-tier with the launch of the moto g100.

The moto g¹⁰⁰ gives users the same powerful performance they could expect from devices that cost twice as much. With 5G speeds, outstanding new camera features and incredible battery life all paired with the Ready For platform – the moto g100 is revolutionizing the mid-tier segment once again.

#5 This year marked ten generations of moto g and our moto lovers, and we celebrated by introducing six new moto gs worldwide.

Today, our consumers can choose the smartphone that best fits their needs, including our most recent additions like the moto g10, moto g20, moto g30, moto g50, moto g60 and moto g100. With these devices, we continue to innovate within the mid-tier by bringing flagship-level experiences into this family. Stay tuned for more to come!

From moto e to motorola razr, it’s motorola’s clean, customizable software approach

Motorola is committed to providing customers with a pure version of Android™ OS. With no clunky software skins, no duplicate apps – just near-stock Android™ that we know you love. Our priority is bringing the best experiences possible to end-users, and our close partnership with Google and tight integration with Google services speak to that commitment.

Now, My UX allows you to customize their experience to be even more intuitive and personal, so it works the way you want.

My UX includes all the great moto experiences, moto specific apps and customizations customers have come to know and love.

On recent devices, you’ll see a refreshed organization in the moto app and a few new experiences that make your smartphone easier to use.

The SnapdragonTM 732G renders graphics incredibly fast and powers the high-res camera system, so games look more realistic and photos are sharper than ever. Paired with 6 GB of RAM, you can move back and forth between apps in a snap. All of this speed is managed with remarkable power efficiency, so it won’t drain your battery life between charges.

Watch your favorite content come to life on a gorgeous 6.8″ Max Vision FHD+ display. Enjoy true-to-life colors and improved brightness and contrast with HDR10 compatibility. And as the first Motorola device with a 120 Hz refresh rate5, moto g60 is twice as smooth as typical smartphones so there’s hardly any lag scrolling through web pages, playing games, or watching videos.

All this power is backed by 128 GB of reliable built-in storage6, so you have tons of room for photos, movies, songs, apps, and games. And you can always add up to 1 TB more using a microSD card.6

elegantly crafted, inside and out

This device is thoughtfully designed and exquisitely crafted. Ultra-slim bezels provide more screen area from edge to stunning edge, and a tinted housing surrounding the rear cameras adds a touch of sophistication. The modern, unibody design is available in your choice of gorgeous metallic colors, Dynamic Gray and Frosted Champagne.

Enjoy a software experience that’s as streamlined and beautiful as your phone is on the outside. Android 11 is optimized for how you use your phone, making it more intuitive, more secure, and personal. Explore better conversation management in messaging apps, improved control over connected devices, and a more hands-on approach to data privacy in this exciting update from Google. Android 11 also brings new and improved accessibility features to Moto fans, including faster and easier Voice Access and assistant-powered shortcuts.

Motorola is redefining the 5G experience in the mid-tier: say hello to moto g50

March 25, 2021

The moto g family has always focused on making cutting-edge technology accessible, and as 5G becomes more widely available, we’re focused on democratizing this next-generation connectivity so mid-tier consumers get the speed they need without compromising on performance, power, and battery life. That’s where moto g50 comes in, a powerhouse device that gives you next generation 5G speed* without the next generation price, offering the latest blazing-fast connectivity along with ultra-long battery life, powerful cameras for every angle and any light, and an entertainment experience that will make picking up your phone the best part of your day.

Now, you can get more bandwidth, lower latency, and reduced lag at your fingertips with the next-generation 5G speed on moto g50. With virtually no lag time, 5G lets you capture and share incredible moments with loved ones and get work done so much faster than on a 4G network. Stream movies in seconds1, play intensive online games, and watch YouTube videos without annoying delays for a noticeable boost to your mobile experience.

Take your entertainment experience to the next level with the gorgeous display on moto g50. A 90Hz refresh rate reduces lag so your favorite games are incredibly smooth and fluid, and the 20:9 aspect ratio on the 6.5” Max Vision HD+ display maximizes viewing space so binge-worthy shows are even more immersive.

The versatile 48 MP2 camera system gives you all the creative shooting options you need to capture everyday moments with ease. A 48 MP sensor2 lets you capture super clear shots in any light, from any angle. Quad Pixel technology ensures that every photo turns out sharp and bright thanks to 4x more light sensitivity, and if the lighting is really challenging, Night Vision brings even more details out of the dark so you never miss a great moment just because it’s nighttime. The dedicated Macro Vision lens brings you 2.5x closer to your subject than a standard lens, so you see the tiny details you’d otherwise miss for stunning nature shots. Use the depth sensor to easily turn ordinary photos into professional-looking portraits, where you can always go back and play with the intensity level later for the perfect shot. And with blazing fast 5G*, you can share the moment with the people you love even faster than before.

All these incredible features deserve a powerhouse processor to keep them all running smoothly.

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 in the Moto app called My UX, which lets users take music, videos, games, and device themes to the next level with custom settings. In addition to including fan-favorite gestures like turning on the flashlight with a simple chop gesture or launching the camera with the twist of a wrist, we’ve added swipe to split, which allows you to split the screen into two and do more things at once5. Watch a video and chat with a friend at the same time, or work on multiple sheets or docs simultaneously.

Since My with no clunky software skins or duplicate apps. Explore better conversation management in UX doesn’t get in the way of a pure Android experience, users get to enjoy the full power of Android 11 messaging apps, improved control over connected devices, and a more hands-on approach to data privacy in this exciting update from Google.

Motorola becomes first mobile phone manufacturer to fully support indigenous language spoken in the Amazon

March 25, 2021

As Motorola continues to embrace inclusivity through our Smarter Technology for All concept, we´ve added two endangered indigenous languages to our devices, becoming the first mobile phone manufacturer to support indigenous language spoken in the Amazon. Now, anyone who owns a new Motorola device, or a Motorola device that supports Android 11, will be able to access Kaingang and Nheengatu as part of the 80+ languages we offer through Android.

At Motorola, we know indigenous populations are interacting with mobile technology and are one of many diverse groups that make up our valued consumer base. With the largest part of our users based in Latin America, we noticed that Brazilian and Latin American indigenous languages were not present on Android, nor were they a part of Unicode, which forms the foundation of digital inclusion and representation throughout a variety of digital interfaces.

Unfortunately, many of these indigenous languages are in danger of disappearing completely. Prior to the arrival of the Portuguese to what would then become Brazil, approximately 1,215 languages were spoken in the territory. But as native speakers lose proficiency in traditional languages and children no longer learn them as their mother tongue at home, many of these languages have ceased to exist. 500 years later, only around 200 of them remain, and in less than a century this number could go all the way down to zero.

When a language ceases to exist, the history, culture and identity of those who speak it cease to exist as well, and a world heritage dies. Robert Melo from our Globalization engineering team asked himself, how can we help preserve or even revitalize some of these endangered languages through our software experience? In response, he led a team of engineers to conduct research and development. Juliana Rebelatto managed our Language Services activities and indigenous linguists and scholars, led by Professor Wilmar Angelis from Unicamp University in Brazil, to add Kaingang and Nheengatu to our devices through Android.

We´re thrilled to act as pioneers of digital inclusion, taking an important step toward a mobile experience that embraces all our users and contributes to the survival of indigenous languages and cultures, says Janine Oliveira, Executive Director of Globalization Software at Motorola Mobility. By sharing our innovation with other OEMs and other globalization professionals, we hope to broaden the impact of this project and pave the way for more indigenous languages to be added to Android in the future.

Since the integration of native languages in written form is crucial for their preservation, we´re working closely with Google to make these languages available in AOSP and Google Gboard, and will also work with the Unicode consortium to open source all of the language data we´ve collected with their support.

We will continue to conduct research alongside indigenous communities and engage with regional teams to enrich Motorola experiences and the lives of our incredible consumers.
