A new era of texting has begun: 3 Ways Apple’s RCS Adoption Changes The Texting Game

For years, Apple has relegated text messages with Android users to outdated SMS/MMS technology, leading to frustration for consumers, with the infamous “green bubble” often signaling a subpar experience for cross-platform communication. Now, in a significant move that’s set to reshape the messaging landscape, Apple is finally adopting Rich Communications Services (RCS), the modern messaging standard. 

With the rollout of iOS 18, Android and iOS users can now experience more inclusive communications and enjoy high-quality media sharing and more seamless group chats. Apple’s adoption of RCS is a major milestone that benefits the entire smartphone industry, and it’s especially good news if you’re considering a switch from iOS to Android. 

In fact, 20% of new motorola razr users have switched from iOS devices, demonstrating growing interest in the flippable form factor, innovative smartphone features, and stylish design. A more seamless messaging experience makes the transition easier than ever.

Whether you’re a current Android user or thinking about switching to a Motorola device, here’s what you need to know:

What’s improving

Apple adopting RCS enables key features like high quality media sharing, read receipts, typing indicators, and seamless group chat management, no matter your device. Android smartphone users have been able to use RCS features for years with Google Messages. Now, users will have the same benefits with cross-platform communications.

Why it matters:

  • A modern messaging experience for everyone. Both Android and iOS users will benefit from the improved communication experience enabled by RCS. Features like high-quality media sharing, read receipts, typing indicators, and easy group chat management make cross-platform conversations smoother and more enjoyable for all users.
  • A more inclusive digital environment: It shouldn’t matter whether you have the same device as your friends. By increasing the compatibility between messaging platforms, we ensure a more inclusive communication environment for everyone.
  • A step towards bridging the digital divide: Universal RCS adoption marks a significant step towards breaking down the digital divide and promoting equality in mobile communication. By eliminating many of the cross-platform messaging quirks that have contributed to the “green bubble” stigma, RCS helps to level the playing field and ensure that all users, regardless of their device, have access to the same advanced messaging features.

There’s More Work To Do

Though progress has been made with RCS, there’s still work to do. There are other RCS texting features that Apple can implement, like reactions to media, or in-line replies, to make conversations between iOS and Android users better for everyone.

In the meantime, celebrate green and blue bubbles becoming friends by making sure your friends with iPhones have the latest OS. Learn more on  Instagram, X, Facebook and LinkedIn, and explore more benefits of RCS on android.com.

Pushing Boundaries: Motorola and Corning’s North Pole Expedition

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.

RAZR 50 ULTRA in the North Pole

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.

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 showcases the versatility of tomorrow’s AI at Lenovo Tech World ‘24

AI has opened up a new world of possibilities for innovation at Motorola, giving us more opportunities to take everyday tasks and make them extraordinary. We’ve evolved our approach to AI over the years, but with a continual focus on improving the user experience. moto ai advances this mission to transform the smartphone user experience across three core areas: assist, capture, and create. This means moto ai can take actions to help users get things done effortlessly, empower users to capture the world around them, recall it at a moment’s notice and provide users tools that inspire creativity.

This year at Lenovo Tech World ‘24, we’re taking those three pillars to the next level with new concepts and AI features that truly center around our users’ wants and needs, so they can enjoy everything AI has to offer today and take a glimpse into our vision for the future.

Moto ai offers effortless interaction and personalized assistance

Motorola is exploring what is possible by incorporating Large Action Models (LAM) with the power of moto ai. With this proof-of-concept software, Motorola’s LAM can understand your environment, learn from your behavior to offer personalized responses,  and translate natural language into actions and seamlessly execute them on your behalf. The result is a contextually-aware personal assistant, delivering human-like interactions through natural language.

At Tech World ‘24, we showcased how users can state “order me an iced americano”, and moto ai will locate the nearest coffee shop and place the order for them, letting them know when it will be ready for pick up. This can also work for frequent actions like requesting an Uber. Users just say where they want to go, and moto ai will use their location to confirm the ride, and give the user details about the driver, type of car, pick-up spot, and ETA. 

As the LAM learns a user’s habits and preferences, the more useful it becomes. In the future, it could automate daily tasks like alarm setting, morning coffee orders, playlist selections and more.

Advanced moto ai features that are personal, collaborative and intuitive 

moto ai builds on the years of experience Motorola has embedding AI into many areas of our devices, including camera, battery, display and device performance. At Tech World ’24, Motorola announced that its new moto ai experiences are in beta program. We plan to progressively expand beta invites throughout the year.

The Catch me up prompt helps users save time by providing a prioritized summary of personal communications, so users don’t have to endlessly scroll through the notifications they missed. Prompting to Pay attention helps users recall specific instructions or details without having to write notes or listen to long recordings. It enables recording of conversations or speakers, which is then transcribed and summarized for users to review. And the Remember this command captures live moments or on-screen information when triggered, instantly saving them with smart, AI-generated insights. When a photo is taken, moto ai uses a LLM in the background to pull in key details, context and facts about the captured content. These memories are personal and saved only when the user chooses. They are stored locally and protected on the device. Memories can be recalled anytime with a simple question. It’s like having an intelligent assistant that turns every snapshot into a story waiting to be rediscovered. 

As we continue to refine moto ai, we’ll incorporate consumers’ feedback along the way, aiming to create even more personalized experiences that better anticipate needs and make everyday interactions smoother and smarter.

New Smart Connect features that integrate AI, boost productivity and connectivity

When Motorola launched Smart Connect, our vision was to create a seamless multi-device experience by unifying the Motorola and Lenovo ecosystems. At Tech World ’24, we gave a preview of how we’ll take that experience to the next level with AI-powered features that make Smart Connect more intuitive, human and enjoyable.

With Intelligent Awareness, users will effortlessly manage their devices through natural language commands, allowing them to discover, connect, and control everything from smartphones to IoT devices, all within a fully integrated ecosystem. Smart Connect harnesses the power of Hybrid AI, selecting the best AI model for each task to boost both productivity and creativity—whether through Magic Canvas or the AI-powered PC creator zone. This means that through Smart Connect, traditional devices that don’t have built-in AI tools can become AI-enabled as well.

Smart Connect now provides users the ability to seamlessly share personal data across their connected devices.1 Cross-device searches and smart actions, provide users the ability to find and transfer files, launch specific apps and find relevant photos on all connected devices with a simple command. Users can also activate moto ai features directly from their PC with commands like “Catch me up,” providing a quick summary of the most important personal communication notifications.

On top of this, Meta and Motorola are collaborating to extend smartphone capabilities to Quest headsets, meaning users can access messages, their favorite apps and more without removing the headset. In the near future, you’ll see Smart Connect in the Meta Horizon Store – stay tuned.

Smart innovation for today and tomorrow

As AI continues to grow and evolve, Motorola is investing into new features and concepts that are focused on enhancing the user experience on every level. Whether AI is used to simplify difficult or tedious tasks or explore new ideas and nurture creativity, moto ai has the power to transform the smartphone experience and everyone’s lives—and it’s only getting better with time.

Plus, Motorola and Lenovo users can take advantage of Smart Connect for an even more seamless cross-device experience.

Messaging is also becoming smarter, thanks to Google’s AI-powered tools that enable features like Gemini in Google Messages and Magic Compose.  When looking for suggestions or help with tasks like planning or finding gift ideas, users can chat with Gemini directly via Google Messages. Magic Compose offers users ways to craft stylized, suggested responses, for effortless communication. For example, this feature offers context-aware responses, saving time and ensuring messages sound natural. Users can take this a step further by rewriting a message in a more formal or fun tone like Shakespearean, enabling them to communicate more effectively in any setting.

Edit, organize and search Google Photos with AI

With Google Photos as the native photo app on Motorola smartphones, users gain seamless cross-device access to their images, thanks to integration into the Google ecosystem. This allows for seamless sharing, collaboration and cloud back-up with automatic syncing. Additionally, Google’s advanced AI editing features like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, and Photo Unblur empower users to fine-tune their memories with ease. 

With Magic Editor, generative Al helps you edit your photos. This allows users to reposition subjects, improve backgrounds and adjust image elements with simple gestures, making complex edits easy.

Durability is front and center with the new moto g75 5G

Overview

  • The first moto g to be military-grade certified (MIL-STD-810H)1 while featuring IP68 underwater protection and dust immersion2 for ultimate durability
  • A sharp and versatile 50MP camera system with OIS and Sony – LYTIATM 600 sensor
  • Brilliant 6.78” Full HD+ display with stereo speakers, Dolby Atmos® immersive sound and Hi-Res audio
  • The first to offer the Snapdragon® 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform for improved efficiencies, AI-powered features and superfast 5G connectivity3

Smartphones are responsible for holding and handling consumers’ inner and outer worlds. They help users get from place to place, store their notes, images, and thoughts, manage schedules, and much more. That’s why smartphones need to be accident proof and built to last. The new moto g75 5G infuses quality throughout the device, prioritizing device durability and aesthetic, low-light camera performance, entertainment experiences, and ultra-fast connectivity. 

Durable yet refined design 

Engineered to meet military grade certifications (MIL-STD-810H)1, the moto g75 5G can handle life’s highs and lows. This includes sudden drops up to 1.2 meters, extreme weather conditions, temperatures, and even pressure changes. Fit for all types of vacations and trips, it sports damage-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5, IP68 underwater protection2 and guards against dust immersion2. It even features Water Touch technology, so users can easily access their phone after swimming or during a rainstorm. Plus, the device comes in colorful, vegan leather and matte material options for an elevated look.

Camera system for picturesque moments

The 50MP camera system with OIS and Quad Pixel technology is every shutterbug’s dream. Both family photos and action shots look crisp and bright, and the Sony – LYTIATM 600 sensor further improves low-light lighting conditions. And due to certain artificial light sources disrupting image quality with a flickering effect, there’s a Flicker Sensor that banishes the bars. This ensures that images look detailed and true-to-life. Consumers can also shoot 4K videos with any lens, and get realistic, professional-looking footage.

An 8MP ultra-wide and macro vision camera captures differing perspectives while the 16MP front camera pumps out confidence-boosting selfies. When editing photos, users can lean on Google Photos. Its built-in AI features, such as Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, or Magic Editor, can help make consumers’ memories shine. 

Powerful performance on the inside and out

Daily interactions are also smoother with the latest Snapdragon® 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform. Combining AI-powered features with 5G connectivity and Wi-Fi 6/6E compatibility7, the moto g75 5G ensures better photos, faster streaming, and uninterrupted workflow. And the device’s up to 8GB of memory4,5 and up to 256GB of storage4,5 comes in handy when jumping between apps or storing files.

For next-level sound, this device comes with stereo speakers, supports multidimensional Dolby Atmos® sound, along with Hi-Res Audio. It’s complemented by a brilliant 6.8” Full HD+ display that looks great indoors and outdoors. That’s because Display Color Boost enhances screen visibility and color quality.

Intentional software experiences

Motorola-exclusive software helps users increase productivity, so that they can better manage what matters most to them. This is evident with Smart Connect6,8, which allows consumers to fully take advantage of their smartphone, tablet, TV, and Windows PC. With it, they can share files and images between three devices or use their big screen to amplify whatever they’re doing on their phone. This means consumers only need their smartphone to get a PC-like experience or an extended view, making it easier to work or play from anywhere. The moto g75 5G also runs on Android™ 14 to ensure that the device is even more personal, protected and accessible.

Availability

The new moto g75 5G will be available in Europe and the Middle East with a starting MSRP of €299. The new device will also roll out to select markets in Latin America and Asia-Pacific. For local price information and availability, please contact your local PR team.
