Encyclopedic overview
Motorola Mobility LLC, marketed as Motorola (stylized in all-lowercase as motorola), is a Chinese-owned, United States-based consumer electronics manufacturer primarily producing smartphones and other mobile devices running Android. Motorola is headquartered at Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois, and has been a subsidiary of Lenovo since 2014.
Motorola Mobility was formed on January 4, 2011, after a split of the original Motorola Inc. into two separate companies, with Motorola Mobility assuming the company's consumer-oriented product lines, including its mobile phone business, as well as its cable modems and pay television set-top boxes, while the enterprise and radio communication division continues as Motorola Solutions, a legal successor of the original company. In May 2012, Google acquired Motorola Mobility for US$12.5 billion; the main intent of the purchase was to gain Motorola Mobility's patent portfolio, in order to protect other Android vendors from litigation. Shortly after the purchase, Google sold Motorola Mobility's cable modem and set-top box business to Arris Group, and products increasingly focused on entry-level smartphones. Under the ATAP division, Google also began development on Project Ara. In October 2014, Google sold Motorola Mobility for $2.91 billion to Lenovo, which excluded ATAP and most of the patents. Lenovo's existing smartphone division was subsumed by Motorola Mobility.
