Motorola has had a tough few years, especially when it comes to their smartphone lines. Despite being acquired by Lenovo in 2011, the brand's market share has been decreasing over the past few years. In 2008, Motorola mobile gadgets corner over 10 percent of global sales, and the company's demand has since dropped significantly to 1.7 percent in 2012.
Because of the daunting and worrisome statistics, many are left wondering what is next for the struggling Motorola. Thankfully, it seems like the sobering numbers is enough for the brand to restructure their smartphone approach. According to multiple reports, the next few months would see the unveiling of a new Motorola flagship smartphone line - the Moto Z.
According to Venture Beat, Motorola has two flagship phones under the Moto Z series currently in development. As of the moment these handset projects which clock in at 5.5 inches are codenamed Vertext and Vector Thin.
Aside from the codenames and speculated dimensions, details about the new Moto Z phones have remained scarce. However, it is expected that new Moto phones and other new gadgets would be revealed in the upcoming Lenovo Tech World Show on June 9 in San Francisco.
The rumored arrival of the Moto Z handsets is without a doubt exciting. In the mean time tech enthusiasts can busy themselves with the newly unveiled handsets from Motorola.
Just this week, Motorola showcased their new handsets from the brand's more budget friendly series - the Moto G. The company announced the availability of the fourth generation Moto G Plus and Moto G Play in May 17, 2016; however, at present, the Moto G Plus and Moto G Play is available in Brazil and India. According to Motorola's official website, the phones can be purchased globally later in Summer.
"That's how we designed the next generation of our best-selling smartphone, Moto G. And because we know people are unique and use their phones differently, we added two new members to the family: Moto G Plus and Moto G Play. Each of them has meaningful technology, so you never have to miss what matters most to you," read a part of the recent announcement.
