Introducing Moto Customization for B2B customers

A device management tool designed to simplify the process of bulk customization, independent of a mobile device management solution

At Motorola, a Lenovo company, we strive to empower customers with our innovative hardware and software solutions. Today, this spirit continues as Motorola introduces Moto Customization, a new device management tool for b2b customers under the ThinkShield for mobile platform for business users. This new tool gives IT admins the ability to remotely customize Motorola devices in bulk, tailoring them to specific business needs, out-of-the-box.

Moto Customization brings a suite of features designed to help businesses customize device settings, content and apps, independent of a mobile device management solution. With the ability to deploy bulk updates and out of the box setup, the solution simplifies the process of device customization through a  centralized configuration control.  This minimizes manual intervention, reducing deployment time and ensuring consistency. Customers can also take advantage of advanced features like changing the boot animation, skipping the setup wizard, and enabling Kiosk Mode (a mode that allows IT admins to lock the device to run a singular app or predefined set of apps).

moto customization for b2b customers
“Our mission with the Moto Customization offering is to empower businesses to take control of their business devices, giving them the opportunity to seamlessly configure and deploy devices no matter if they are tens or thousands of devices” said Sudhir Chadaga, Head of Business to BusinessB at Motorola. “We believe that by delivering a comprehensive suite of customization and management tools, we can provide businesses with a competitive edge in today’s market.”

Moto Customization also provides businesses with the opportunity to infuse their brand-specific configurations into Motorola devices, directly out-of-box. For example, boot screen animations and lock screen settings can be customized. This means a customer in the telco space can customize the smartphone with their logo/wallpaper for customers who acquire a mobile plan through them. Customers can also deploy and preload specific apps, content and shortcuts remotely and select where in the app menu they will be displayed, providing customers with more control over how the devices are configured to create a seamless brand experience for their end consumer.

Moto Customization is the latest of several offerings that Motorola has designed specifically for our B2B customers. For more information about Moto Customization and all of our Motorola for Business offerings, please visit: https://www.motorola.com/business/.

Motorola edge 50 ultra ranks among top 5 camera systems worldwide on smartphones launched in 2024, according to DXOMARK

This achievement is a result of camera technology investments, our leadership in AI experiences and true-to-life colors validated by Pantone.

dxomark logoMotorola is excited to announce that the motorola edge 50 ultra has been ranked among the best 5 smartphone cameras launched worldwide in 2024, according to DXOMARK. This gold badge recognition, reserved for devices delivering a best-in-class camera experience, comes after Motorola’s investment in camera technology, leadership in AI experiences and Pantone Validated™ colors that guarantee true-to-life images for camera.

DXOMARK is a world-renowned technology Quality Evaluation Laboratory, that evaluates the quality of consumer electronics and professional products through scientific testing and perceptual analysis. The company tests smartphone camera sensors across five sub-categories: Photo, Zoom, Bokeh, Preview, and Video. After undergoing DXOMARK’s rigorous and comprehensive tests, the motorola edge 50 ultra earned an impressive camera score of 146*. This ranking underscores Motorola’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology and delivering exceptional user experiences.

“In the highly competitive smartphone market, camera quality remains a crucial factor influencing purchase decisions. Motorola has undeniably made significant strides in enhancing both the quality and user-friendliness of its camera systems over the past year and a half. With the introduction of the Motorola Edge 50 Ultra, the company has raised the bar, offering the most compelling photography experience to date”, says Carolina Milanesi, President and Principal Analyst at Creative Strategies.

In developing Motorola’s most impressive camera system to date, we incorporated valuable consumer insights uncovered through our global user research teams. We also leveraged the expertise of our R&D centers in the United States, Brazil and China. Our approach integrates user-friendly features, state-of-the-art hardware, AI-powered software, and color validation from Pantone to ensure accurate color representation.

“The smartphone has evolved into the primary, and often the sole, camera for consumers. Therefore, we have made significant investments in enhancing the camera systems of our devices, from hardware innovations to software advancements,” says Matthew Biggerstaff, Global Director of Engineering for Camera at Motorola. “This result is a testament to our relentless efforts to enhance our camera technology year after year, including the addition of moto ai and the experiences it enables in our cameras. We are motivated by this achievement and eager to continue this momentum.”

The edge 50 ultra has high-resolution cameras designed to capture stunning, detail-rich images in any lighting condition. Key features include a 50MP main lens, a 64MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and 100x Super Zoom, a 50MP ultrawide lens with macro vision, and a 50MP selfie camera with autofocus.

Recognizing that over 90% of our users take photos in the automatic mode, our moto ai powers the edge 50 ultra’s sophisticated camera system to deliver exceptional performance in both photos and videos. For instance, the new Photo Enhancement Engine ensures effortless, high-quality photos with every shot by applying optimal AI-based settings from multiple shooting modes simultaneously. Action Shot automatically increases and adjusts the shutter speed of the camera based on different lighting conditions, so consumers can better freeze the action, avoiding blurred photos. Additionally, the brand new telephoto sensor uses AI to enhance zoom quality, and is one of the world’s first smartphones with Pantone Validatedcertification which guarantees accurate color and skin tone representation for both camera and display.

The hottest things on the new motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+

From fashion to people, and everything in between, it’s clear that some things simply belong together. When we think of the Y2K era, certain pairings come to mind: celebrities and the color pink, flip phones and T9 texting, and of course, the razr V3 in Hot Pink, which was commonly clipped to the waistband of low-rise jeans.

When things are better together, they become timeless—iconic, even. The Y2K era has returned, bringing with it everything from digital cameras to butterfly clips. Now, Motorola has brought back another icon with a modern twist. So, don’t worry about turning back time or being born in the wrong generation because the new motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+ is here and hotter than ever.

It’s small enough to fit into most compartments, but when it’s time to kick back, you can flip it open and discover a large 6.9” screen that’s ideal for streaming or posting. Snapping the phone shut is even easier with one hand—a must-have for ending conversations—and holding the device is extra comfortable, thanks to soft, vegan leather.

Catch up on socials, text friends back, find the nearest coffee shop, or take selfies without having to flip open your phone. The massive external display allows you to stay up to date without getting fully sucked in, complementing the occasional desire for a digital detox. When you want to deck out your device, you can create a new look by customizing the lock and home screens to showcase your personality. You can also play games directly from the external display on your morning commute.

3. Camera system that moves with you to capture your best angles

Say goodbye to carrying around multiple gadgets to get your best shot. With the new motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+, you have the only “tech-cessory” you need. That’s due to Flex View, which allows you to place the phone in multiple positions and instantly capture your vision. There’s also a new 50MP camera that pumps out gorgeous portraits, so you always have a new profile picture ready. And new moto ai shooting features optimize camera performance because intelligence is hot.

Motorola unveils moto tag: a tracking solution designed to work anytime, anywhere

The newest addition to Motorola’s ecosystem combines precision tracking technology and privacy safeguards from Google for a new tracking solution

Today, Motorola, introduces moto tag, a Bluetooth tag designed to keep track of consumers’ most valuable items anywhere in the world¹. Sleek, with enhanced security, easy to use, and compatible with most Android smartphones¹, the moto tag leverages the power of the Google Find My Device network and UWB technology4 to bring consumers a new tracking solution that seamlessly integrates into Motorola’s device ecosystem.

motorola ecosystem 2024 with moto tag

From keys and wallets to luggage, moto tag allows users to find the whereabouts of their tagged items so they have more peace of mind. The moto tag was specifically built to work seamlessly with the expansive reach of Google’s Find My Device network, allowing users to pinpoint the exact location of tagged items through the Find My Device app from nearly anywhere in the world.1 When paired with an Ultra Wideband supported Android smartphone, like the motorola edge 50 ultra, the moto tag also offers improved precision tracking⁴.

Moto tag also features a dedicated multifunctional button. A simple press rings the user’s smartphone helping them easily find a misplaced device. Another useful function is the ability to use the tag as a remote to capture photos on a Motorola phone, making it easy to get the perfect shot without needing to hold the phone or use a timer. This feature works with any Android phone and is particularly useful when snapping photos with the new motorola razr family in flex view.¹

Privacy is top of mind with the moto tag. That’s why it works with the secure by default and private by design Find My Device network. User location data is end-to-end encrypted, which means only the tag owner or anyone whose owner has shared the tag within the Find My Device app can view the tag’s location. Leaning on Google’s expertise in privacy and security, the moto tag is also compatible with automatic unknown tracker alerts across Android and iOS to help keep users safe from unwanted tracking. Users also have the option of running a manual scan at any time to check for any unwanted tags following them.

“Find My Device is a truly unique experience for Android users thanks to our open ecosystem that gives people the freedom of choice and a crowdsourced network of over a billion devices to help find your lost or misplaced items and devices no matter where they are,” said Erik Kay, Vice President of Engineering at Google. “We are proud to work with partners to help make finding your belongings simple and seamless on Android.”

For a seamless setup experience, once a new moto tag is powered on and near the user’s smartphone, it’s simple to quickly pair the tag to their device using Google Fast Pair. From there, users can take advantage of several customizable options available in the moto tag app including changing tag names, adjusting alert volumes, checking battery life and more.

Moto tag’s sleek silhouette was designed specifically to fit perfectly with most third-party accessories already on the market so that users can easily attach it to all their valuables. Plus, its robust IP67 design helps ensure durability against dust, dirt, and fresh water immersion up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes³, making it suitable for any adventure or daily commute. Users can also have peace of mind knowing that the moto tag’s CR2032 battery is engineered to last an entire year on a single charge² and is easily replaceable, making it a reliable and durable tracking solution.

The moto tag will be available in the coming months in select markets. For more information on local availability, please reach out to your local PR representative.

Motorola brings new AI-driven experiences to the 2024 razr family with Google

Imagine a world where your smartphone isn’t just a device, but a personal assistant, creative studio, and productivity powerhouse all in one. By collaborating with Google, Motorola has turned this vision a reality by bringing AI-driven experiences and convenient features to the new razr family

For the first time, razr users can access Gemini¹ directly from the external display. Google’s Gemini app is a personal AI assistant to supercharge your creativity and productivity. Whether users need step-by-step instructions for a new project, help planning trips and activities, or assistance in writing thank-you notes or emails. Gemini can even help brainstorm ideas for enhancing daily life and seamlessly access information from Google apps and services like Maps, YouTube, Flights, Gmail, and Drive. Gemini is always there to provide support. 

Plus, razr users will receive Gemini Advanced for 3 months with access to Google’s most capable AI models, at no extra cost. They’ll also get 2 TB of cloud storage and Gemini in their favorite Google apps like Gmail, Docs, and more—all included in the Google One AI Premium plan.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to bring the helpfulness of Gemini to Motorola’s new phones,” said Amar Subramanya, vice president of engineering at Google. “By integrating Gemini into the new Razr devices, we’re giving people direct access to their very own personal AI assistant – there to tackle complex tasks and collaborate on the go.” 

Users can reimagine daily tasks – like texting – with a few unique features that are built into Google Messages. Photomoji transforms their favorite photos into personalized emojis and stickers, adding a visual flair to messages. And with Magic Compose², users can receive suggested texting responses in various styles like Excited, Chill, Formal, and Short, enabling them to get creative with their messages.

“Innovation has always been at the core of Motorola’s DNA, and our collaboration with Google marks a significant milestone in redefining what a smartphone can truly be,” said Dan Dery, Head of Software Experiences & Internet Services at Motorola. “With the new razr family, we’re not just introducing a device; we’re unveiling a new era of seamless connectivity and unparalleled functionality where technology not only enhances but also enriches every aspect of our lives.”

To further improve the external display experience on the new razr devices, we’ve added access to Google Photos. This allows users to view, delete, favorite, or share photos or videos stored locally or in the cloud without opening their phone, making it easier to access memories and find photos quickly.

The new motorola razr family debuts the industry’s largest, most intelligent external display of any flip phone, revamped iconic design, and powerful AI-driven features

Overview

  • Google’s Gemini app and Google Photos on the external display for everything in one place
  • New colors, materials, and reimagined Hello UX software elevate the razr user experience
  • Embrace day-to-night with powerful performance and long battery life
  • The Motorola device ecosystem expands with the new moto tag

Twenty years after the groundbreaking launch of the RAZR V3, Motorola continues to maintain its iconic essence and expand the boundaries of smartphone technology with each new iteration of the razr. The new 2024 motorola razr family is no exception, showcasing Motorola’s commitment to evolution and excellence. With the new motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+ and motorola razr 50/motorola razr, we are introducing two stylish pocket-sized smartphones that bring the power of AI to more users’ hands.

Do it all with the largest, most intelligent external display in its class1

Both members of the new razr family feature massive external displays with the motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+ boasting the industry’s largest at 4.0,” and the motorola razr 50/motorola razr bringing a 3.6” display. Even more, for the first time, razr users will be able to access Google’s Gemini app2 directly from their external display. Easily press and hold the power button to bring up Gemini, and get help building a road trip itinerary with popular sights and activities, creating a personalized workout routine in a matter of seconds, getting recipes based on what’s in the refrigerator, and much more. Plus, razr users will receive Gemini Advanced for 3 months with access to Google’s most capable AI models, at no extra cost. They’ll also get 2 TB of cloud storage and Gemini in their favorite Google apps like Gmail, Docs, and more—all included in the Google One AI Premium plan.

Also new to the external display is access to Google Photos, giving users the ability to share, view, delete, or favorite images and videos instantly. This is in addition to a dedicated Spotify panel that allows users to skip songs, and a Bose panel that allows you to more easily control your Bose earbuds and headphones.

When ready for a new look, Motorola is offering a new suite of clock faces and fun customization options for the external display. Users can change their Desk Display to feature a rotation of text and images they’re into that day, creating their own modern screensaver. Or they can shake it up with moto ai experiences. This includes Style Sync, which develops wallpaper options based on one’s outfit, and Magic Canvas, which generates a stunning image based on a text prompt.

Design choices that are bold, beautiful and undeniably razr

The new razr devices feature bold colors, soft vegan leather finishes, and contoured edges that look as good as they feel in hand. With the motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+, consumers can pick between Midnight Blue, Spring Green, and Pantone™ Color of the Year 2024, Peach Fuzz. Plus, the iconic Hot Pink3 razr is back, giving consumers their daily dose of feel-good “newstalgia.”

Infusing color on the front and back of the device, the motorola razr 50/motorola razr features shades of Beach Sand, Koala Grey, and Spritz Orange in vegan leather.

The devices are also adventure-proof. Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus helps protect the external display from drops and scratches, underwater protection allows the device to withstand submersion in 1.5 meters of water for up to 30 minutes4, and the simplified hinge offers better dust protection. 

Thanks to the revamped hinge, it’s also easier to flick open or snap the device shut with one hand. This makes the razr ideal for dramatic hang ups or switching to the massive 6.9” pOLED display. A wide range of Flex View positions empowers users to snap their outfit of the day with the hands-free capture or record a beautiful skyline in shake-free camcorder mode that’s optimized for social media. For impromptu photoshoots, Photo Booth is now available on the external and internal cameras, stitching together four photos in a ready-to-share collage.  

Cameras that harness the “wow factor”

The new motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+ comes with Motorola’s best razr camera technology yet, featuring a 50MP high-res, main camera system with moto ai camera capabilities and Google Photos AI-powered editing features. With the 50MP telephoto lens, users can take advantage of the 2x optical zoom without losing image quality to capture stunning, flattering portraits that look great when standing up close or farther away.

Plus, this device offers a number of AI-powered camera features including: 

  • Photo Enhancement Engine uses AI to simultaneously apply settings from multiple shooting modes into one to deliver stunning photos every time. The engine finetunes the image for optimal detail, clarity, highlights, shadows, color, and bokeh effects.
  • Adaptive Stabilization determines the speed of movement while filming and dynamically adjusts the stabilization level for the best results, ideally to capture videos while running or riding a bike.
  • Action Shot automatically increases and adjusts shutter speed and illumination based on different lighting conditions. This is ideal for moments when users want to capture the ideal jumping picture or capture their favorite sports. 
  • Long Exposure for capturing artistic light trails or smooth waterfalls with a single tap.
  • Super zoom takes photos even further by enhancing the results through an AI-based machine learning algorithm, to capture details even when far away.

For those who want a standout camera system that offers professional-looking shots at an accessible price point, the motorola razr 50/motorola razr comes with a 50MP camera system that includes a 13MP ultra-wide/Macro Vision lens. These elements are ideal when capturing artistic shots, whether up close or at a wider angle.

Optimized hardware and attentive software for non-stop fun

The motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+ is one of the world’s first flip phones to come with the Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform. This allows consumers to discover what’s possible with AI through accelerated performance, unparalleled connectivity, fast-paced gameplay, and even better content capture. 

When texting friends, consumers can utilize new features that amplify their conversations. Built into Google Messages, these enhancements include: Magic Compose5, which suggests texting responses in a variety of styles, so consumers can express themselves in new, creative ways, and Photomoji, which gives consumers the option to turn their favorite photos into personalized emoji or stickers.

To make the most of these features, the motorola razr 50 ultra/motorola razr+ is packed with a big 4000mAh battery that offers 5W reverse and 15W wireless charging capabilities6.

The motorola razr 50/motorola razr is also prepared to handle long days and even longer nights with a hefty 4200mAh battery and 30W TurboPower charging7. It also has 15W wireless charging capabilities6, and the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor offers better power efficiency to outlast all occasions. Additionally, the chipset enhances AI-based tasks while supporting visuals and new experiences.

A device ecosystem that’s all about connection

With the new motorola razr family, Motorola is expanding the Moto ecosystem. In addition to the recently launched moto buds, Motorola is introducing moto tag –  a small, accessory-friendly Bluetooth® LE tag with Ultra Wideband8 that helps consumers locate their most valuable possessions, from their wallet to luggage, through Google’s Find My Device network9.

Smart software that does all the thinking

Motorola’s distinctive software platform, Hello UX, offers an extensively personalized user experience, immersive capabilities, and an intuitive user interface. In addition to now offering more customizable options on the razr family external display, users will continue to enjoy advanced ecosystem connectivity with Smart Connect, a safe environment for kids with Family Space, the ability to disconnect with Moto Unplugged, and comprehensive security settings with Moto Secure.

moto ai also enhances the smartphone experience by addressing user pain points with innovative generative AI solutions. In the coming months, Motorola will introduce several new moto ai capabilities: 

  • With a simple prompt of “Catch me up,” users will receive a prioritized summary of personal communications, eliminating the need to sift through notifications.
  • Asking “Pay attention” will enable instant recording of conversations or speakers, automatically transcribing and summarizing them.
  • A command to “Remember this” will capture live moments or on-screen information, saving them automatically with AI-generated details. Information will be stored on the user’s device for easy recall later.

Additionally, users will be able to access moto ai anywhere on their phone for assistance, quick suggestions, and answers to questions, including device usage guidance or more complex inquiries using Gemini from Google Cloud.
