Motorola Moto X is almost there, said a tweet from Flipkart. The leading ecommerce portal is gearing up for exclusive launch of the second Motorola phone. Last month, it successfully launched the Moto G in India and now the Moto X is coming 'very soon'. 

Flipkart has also announced three launch day offers for Moto X, which include INR 1000 cash back with purchases on EMI, 70 percent discount on Moto X cases and 100 percent cash back for ten lucky customers.Like Moto G, Moto X will be exclusively sold in the country by Flipkart and we don't see any end to this exclusivity in the near future.

Flipkart has also noted that initially only White and Black versions will be on sale, however the consumers will be able to pre-order other colour versions, which will be shipped in second week of April. Presently, Flipkart seems to be stocking on 16 GB models, while the 32 GB variants might come in later. Flipkart also confirmed in response to a query on Twitter that the 32GB variant of the Moto X has not been planned for the country and the e-commerce website will only be selling the 16GB model of the Moto X in India.

The Moto X is already available in the US for around $400 (approx Rs 25,000). Its good to see that motorola is able to able to price is successfully like what is did with Moto G. Moto X is not a power android phone like Nexus 5 but still run very nice. Motorola here has taken a approach what Apple take with its phone it has focused on user experience more that the internals of the phone. 

Though it doesn't have powerful internal but its best android phone ion that range .   First time android user it very well appreciate it . Also some critics have rated Moto X above Nexus 5. 

Note: The Moto X orders will open in daytime on March 19 unlike the mid-night launch of Moto G.

Lenovo’s acquisition of Motorola explained

Lenovo signed an agreement to acquire Motorola for $2.91 billion from Google, which is selling it at a massive loss after buying Motorola for $12.5 billion less than two years ago. So what does this deal mean for all the three companies involved? 

For Google

• At $12.5 billion Motorola’s acquisition was an expensive mistake for Google. Google had hoped that Motorola’s patents would save it and its Android hardware partners, who were taken to the courts for patent infringement by companies of Nokia, Microsoft and Apple. But, this all end with a blow as most of the patent google acquires were standard patents. Through which google could not save itself.
• Google at that time was mainly interested in the company's patent portfolio. Now, Google is selling its subsidiary handset business, which has been losing hundreds of millions each quarter since the purchase.
• Google will hold on to Motorola's R&D department headed by former DARPA Director, Regina Dugan. That department was working on future products including smart tattoos, smart pills and even a modular phone codenamed Ara.
•  It will also ensure that maor android OEM's don't shift to alternative OS like samsung with windows or Tizen

For Motorola

• The deal is a mixed bag for Motorola. It would no longer have a "a google company" mark with it. Motorola is most likely to lose all the Googleness under Lenovo.
• On a positive note, Motorola will finally be able to scale up with Lenovo. The Chinese electronics giant already has a global sales and distribution network. On the smartphone side, it has a thriving business in China, India and Indonesia – some of the largest and fastest growing smartphone markets in the world.
• Nothing going to change much for motorola as motorola brand will not be discontinued 

For Lenovo

• The company that gains the most in this deal is Lenovo  which at $2.91 billion is a bargain. Even the terms – about $660 million in cash and $750 million in shares at the time of closing the deal and the remaining $1.5 billion spread over three years.
• Apart from the financial aspect, Lenovo also gets a great engineering team as well as license to Motorola’s patents that Google would retain and 2,000 patents it will receive. It will also get to keep the trademark and copyright for the Motorola brand name.
• Acquiring Motorola will also give Lenovo access into the US and Latin American markets, where it does not have a strong smartphone presence at the moment. The deal could catapult Lenovo as the third largest smartphone vendor after Samsung and Apple, overtaking Huawei and LG.
• Its all depend on lenovo how it use Motorola’s relationships with carriers its manufacturing plants and  its patents.
