Motorola

Motorola has carved out a reputation for making decent value, low cost Android phones and the Motorola One Action follows in that trend.

It's easier to film and view video on a mobile when it's in a vertical rather than a landscape orientation, but it looks very odd on sites like YouTube. The new Motorola One Action offers a compromise – shoot landscape footage while holding the phone in portrait mode.

Motorola launched its mid-priced 5G-upgradable moto z4 this week, successor to last year's moto z3. With a 48-megapixel camera, night photography mode, two-day battery life and a handful of other welcome upgrades, the z4 is impressive for the price, but this comes at the expense of processor grunt.

Motorola has carved out its own niche in the Android phone market – decent specs for very decent prices – and it's back in that same groove for 2019 with the Moto G7 line-up. Four phones make up the range: the G7, the G7 Play, the G7 Plus, and the G7 Power.

You might have heard that one of the smartphone trends of 2019 is going to be foldable phones, devices with displays you can actually bend in half. What you might not realize is just how many of these devices are on the way – so we're listing all the phones currently in the pipeline here.

The fact is smartphones are pretty useful – but that’s as nothing compared to the phones of yore! In those days, phones were real phones – you made calls on them, sent the odd text, and anything else was a bonus. They were just better. Here are five of the finest that prove it beyond any doubt.

As smartphones get smarter, they get more expensive, but they don’t need to. New Atlas compares the specs and features of some of the best phones you can buy for under $300 – ​the iPhone SE, LG K30, Huawei Mate SE, Nokia 6.1, ZenFone 5Q (or 5 Lite), and the Moto G6.

For a number of years now, Lenovo-owned Motorola has specialized in mid-range Android smartphones that combine decent specs and design with affordable prices. With the Moto G6, Moto G6 Play, and Moto G6 Plus, unveiled today at a special event in Brazil, that tradition continues.

Last year Lenovo took one of the boldest and most unique approaches to smartphones to date with the Moto Z series​. Today the company announced the 2nd-gen version of the budget Moto Z series, the Moto Z2 Play.

​While our smartphone coverage is mostly consumed with high-end flagships, Motorola has had some success in saturating the lower tiers. Today the Lenovo-owned company unveiled the lowest-end phones in its lineup, the Moto C and Moto C Plus.

We've seen a strong crop of smartphones pop up in the early part of 2017. Here's a roundup of the best recent releases – including a few from the end of 2016 – and a comprehensive comparison of their specs and features.

Lenovo has announced the winners of its Transform the Smartphone Challenge, in which developers pitched concepts for Moto Mod accessories that add new functionality to Moto Z smartphones. The teams behind Digiframe and Macay True Sound HiFi are eligible for up to $1 million in investment funding.
