Motorola used to be considered by Google as a 'lost child'.

At MWC 2014, Motorola organized a small event, revealing the time that the company was under Google ownership. Contrary to popular belief, Motorola is not favored by Google any more than other Android phones.

According to Steve Horowitz , Motorola's vice president of software development, there was no way the company enjoyed a privilege from Google. The attitude that Google has for Motorola is just like any other Android phone company: " Google wants us to be successful but never needs it. I wish there was a solid relationship between us and the Android team. Somehow, but before the meetings I had to wait in the hallway like everyone else, we were treated like all other companies, Google was very careful, not giving anything special to us . "

According to vice president of supply and operations, Mark Randal , the achievement it has achieved over the past few years comes entirely from Motorola itself. All products are self-developed and have no external resources ( referring to Google ). Moto G and Moto X are both direct results of Motorola listening to customers and giving feedback. Of course, all companies do that, but with the difficulties Motorola encountered at the time, it was clear that the road did not cover roses.

Talking about these two devices, Google has absolutely no effect on Motorola using the original Android version. This is a deliberate strategy of Motorola and the company wants to be different from its competitors. Horowitz said: " We know our strengths and I feel that Android has matured. We will not include useless changes. This strategy allows us to update Android much faster than another company KitKat is available on the Moto X just 19 days after its launch ".

This strategy will continue to be used by Motorola even after returning to Lenovo. The company will continue to stick with Android because Horowitz thinks that the Android team is doing its job very well and there is no reason to leave the operating system. According to Randal, Motorola will only use Lenovo's vast supply and hardware experience. Therefore, it is likely that Lenovo will not put pressure on Motorola's software aspect.

A lot of people have likened the Lenovo - Motorola case similar to the Lenovo - IBM deal in 2005. Instead of " sucking " everything and throwing away the IBM ThinkPad branch, Lenovo took over the laptop brand and help on supply issues. That is Lenovo's strong point. The PC market is declining, so Chinese technology firm will not want to abandon Motorola after only 2 years. In fact, Lenovo is the world's fourth-largest smartphone company by sales.
