The origins of the company come from America, and were there that made a name for Motorola. Initially, the company developed the radios and radio stations; they were especially popular during the Second World War. Soon after the war ended, began the era of the automobile, a lot of cars were equipped with radios of the company, which is worth noting, in contrast to its competitors could work without the ignition. Subsequent years, the company has focused on working with cellular communication.

Already in 1983 appeared on the market the first mobile phone company – Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, which is a breakthrough in this area. The first call from the device was manufactured in 1973. On the phone you can talk only 35 minutes, he maintained contacts 30 and six hours, but charge the device as much as 10 hours, which is quite crazy by today’s standards. Phone weighed just 800 grams. Why all? Simply because when mobile phones were used only in cars, and they weighed about 14 pounds. Cost mobile phone by today’s standards quite a lot – $ 3,995.

Further, the market appears similar devices from other manufacturers, including Nokia, but in 1996, Motorola introduced the world to the first phone-clamshell Motorola StarTAC, such a concept held in the next ten years, many manufacturers. The price of the phone is about 1000 US dollars. The key features of the phone has support for CMC-messages, support for 2800 contacts.

Another key telephone company became a Motorola Razr V3. More than 130 million devices were discharged during the period from 2004 to 2006, it made him the best-selling clamshells in the history of the industry. In those days it was popular at iPhone. He was considered a benchmark in design, technology; it was a breakthrough for consumers.

In 2008, Motorola introduced the audience Motorola Aura, which was the most unusual and beautiful phone. Yes, in the past we have already met a similar form factor, but now it’s not just a square screen, described a circular frame, and a full round display. Today, many wonder how it was possible to create a round display in the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R, as you see, back in 2008, Motorola is one of the first to implement such an idea. Note the fact that the phone was not cheap, its price at the start of sales in Russia amounted to about 70 thousand rubles, that is, he did not initially positioned as a mass. This was the solution for business, for people who want to combine the watch and phone in one mechanism.

Razr V3 was the last successful regular phone companies, because in the future the era of Android-devices, the era of smartphones. During normal phone manufacturers do not twist arms and designers are allowed to sell them all the most unusual things, and the Motorola CLIQ became an adapter when the producers would try to experiment with the design and dimensions, CLIQ – the first and probably one of the most unusual Android-smartphone company . However, not many Russian consumers have met times of transition Motorola, because by the time she was gone from the Russian market. Next in line were the various smart phones running on Android 2.3, which is a bright representative of Atrix.

However, after some time the market goes one of the most popular devices companies – Motorola Razr XT910. With the release of the Motorola devices try to make it a kind of premium solution, because then Kevlar body thickness of only 7.1 mm rarely to be found in the market. Of the benefits devaysa: interesting enough shell, nice design. Live smart phone really looks and feels very nice. After it appeared on the market many such devices companies, including Motorola Rarz M, Razr I, who had displays “from the frame to frame.” Along with the new style of the company began to use new technologies, including AMOLED-display with PenTile, which spoils the overall picture of smartphones.

However, with the Moto X in 2013, Motorola, we can say, has created a new line of their devices. Moto-line is markedly different from all previous devices company. They are distinguished and design, and overall style. And, perhaps, Moto – is a smooth transition to the new style of the company. Perhaps in the future we will not be able to see the signature clock widgets on the desktop, because the Motorola recently committed to making its USB mass, with which they previously were not, and did not affect the market for mobile devices. Motorola buying mostly fans of the company, but whether it needs such a policy? After all, it does not give the right of income, it is necessary to adopt new views; Motorola understands this, so I decided to create a new line, which now can be called basic. A Razr-line device, which at one time raised the popularity of the company, has outlived its usefulness, but do not be so sure that Motorola will forget about their roots, most likely, the company will produce Razr-model, but not in such numbers, as before.

However, with the release of Moto Maxx everything has become quite controversial. After Moto – is a line of very different devices in style and Droid Turbo, the international version of which is called Moto Maxx, does not fit into the overall style of the model range and the objective would be to create or continue a separate line Razr-devices.

Summing up, I want to wish success Motorola Mobility, because very few on the market today such companies. There are, of course, HTC, Samsung, Lenovo, but all of them bored. Users need new discoveries, ideas, and it seems that Motorola – a company with a large and rich history – the ability to surprise consumers.

Devices sold by the U.S. company Motorola, in our area are unpopular for obvious reasons – they’re just not available in all other markets other than the U.S..

However, not everything goes well and there, but Google continues to “pull” the father of mobile phones, despite the losses they delivered. For the last time, as you should be aware, in addition to Moto X, which represents an image of a new vision and subsequent products “Motorola”, was presented and a separate update Cinematography line DROID, including a model Mini, Ultra and MAXX.

The three smartphones, though belonging to the once lost a landmark series RAZR, but the spirit is still followed her old commandments, despite the overall programmatic and technical similarities with the change of course Moto X .

Personally, I have long wondered whether all three smartphone (except Mini, because it is different from all the others most of all – if only because of the type used in the display of the matrix) are just the same dish served at a different sauce, and now we’ll analyze this in more detail on the example of a top representative of the DROID-line, model MAXX . To start, just keeps out the obvious differences that are clear to everyone:

• The volume of the battery, the same “max” packed an impressive battery of 3,500 mAh, while in the Moto X installed only 2200 mAh;
• In the DROID MAXX is the wireless charging, fully compliant with Qi;
• If Moto X is present in the majority of sales of Canadian-American operators, the MAXX is only sold under a red flag Verizon’a;
• Strongly differing from each other diagonally displays a 4.7 and 5 inches and Moto X DROID MAXX respectively (wherein y used first onscreen buttons, touch unlike in the latter).

Now it is necessary to talk about the not so obvious things. Empirically, it was found that even “approximately” the picture of the two screens of smartphones, in no way different, they are the same color rendition. What is interesting is the fact that a smaller number of dots per inch in the MAXX does not affect in any way the quality of the display is much smaller interface elements and fonts that this could give meaning. Yes, a direct comparison is noticeable, but also what you have to peer, in his eyes, as they say, “is not obvious.”

At the moment, only Moto X received an update camera significantly improves the quality of images for the DROID MAXX is this update is only just being developed (as uttered employee Motorola). However, they set up (camera) differently after an upgrade Moto X gives a clearer picture, but in the wrong white balance under difficult conditions did not seem very bright room lighting. However, the company is, where else to improve the software, the camera app can now, for no reason at all to increase the ISO up to 1600 and even go for a mark of 2000 points, which is why the pictures are not as far as they could be – has to resort to the help of third-party applications such as Camera FV-5 .

DROID MAXX felt much more like a device than the Moto X (however, and as such it is), but the difference in the thickness of the smartphone (8.5 mm at the “max” and 10.4 mm at the “xXx”) hardly noticeable, even if they lie side by side, not to mention the feeling of comfort and fit both in hand – in many respects it is a merit tricky bend back in Moto X. However, MAXX is not such a giant as it seems; false perceptions caused largely by sharp lines of its strict and “okvadrachennoy” form.

Corporate processor X8 Mobile Computing System, based on a modified version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960DT, despite his young age, not the shows themselves in real life simply is fine. I can safely say that this is the fastest Android-powered devices that are now available in the market, whether smartphones or tablets. Behavior everywhere in the system, third-party applications or games – all happens very quickly and smoothly. This, incidentally, confirms the failure of benchmarks that measure the production capacity of the processor, the sense remains that as soon as a program, test the performance of GPUs. By the way, off the side of “chips” type determine the velocity at Motorola Assist, «live notifications», Google Now and the other does not make sense here, at the time of the device is not affected – even more adversely affected due to the very core of the scheme and the aforementioned processing system comprising more co-processors.

Supporting these claims papers will be presented later in the final review.

Numerous Chinese blogs are reporting at this time rumors about Motorola, then Google’s plans for the U.S. company. There is talk of new models coming next year, including a phablet.

We came to know that the house from the winged M is preparing a successor to the well-known Ultra Droid, Droid called Quantum, which could debut next year. Unfortunately, we have no idea of ​​the technical specifications of this new device.

The company is apparently also working on a direct competitor of the Samsung Galaxy Note and Sony Xperia Z III Ultra: phablet with a 6.3-inch display called Motorola Xplay. Unfortunately, however, even with regard to this model, we can not communicate further details.

One thing is certain: something is cooking in the house Motorola, and we, as usual, we promise to keep you updated on the subject.
