Once the best manufacturers, such as Motorola and Nokia, today are trying to revive the interest of users in their devices.

Motorola is one of the five hundred largest American companies, it is currently divided into two independent divisions and abolished.

In 1993, Motorola entered the Russian market, where it relatively successfully implemented its activities until 2011, after which it left the country.

In the same year, Motorola's smartphone division was acquired by China's largest company, Lenovo.

Under the auspices of Lenovo, the Motorola brand reappeared on the Russian market in 2016, and already forgotten Moto smartphones began to appear in stores again. Motorola's website also began to function, where all currently available smartphone models are presented and comprehensive information is given on them.

Which company is better to take the device is up to the user to decide, but Motorola can be safely recommended, because as Lenovo smartphones there is no doubt.

Average price of Motorola smartphones

At the price of the device, they start at 4,000 rubles, that is, they are quite inexpensive. The most expensive smartphone will cost 31,000 rubles, but this is rather an exception. Most models fall into the segment from 10 to 15,000 rubles.

It is worth noting that the lineup in 2020 consists of 4 lines, the cost of a smartphone directly depends on belonging to which:

• Moto Z2 play - high-quality, premium models (15,000 - 31,000 rubles);
• Moto G - a class of sufficiently productive devices (10,000 - 18,000 rubles);

Nicolas Cage with Motorola StarTAC

Today for the editorial gg an inexorable wave of nostalgia swept over us and we decided to recall the old models of mobile phones that somehow influenced the further development of the industry as a whole, or simply became very popular among users at one time. The hero of today's story about bygone days is the American company Motorola, here you can choose much more than 10 models, but we decided to stop at this figure. She got the right to be a discoverer quite deservedly: after all, the company created the world's first mobile phone.

Motorola StarTAC

In its best years, the company was not afraid to boldly experiment, and StarTAC is a vivid proof of this. It became the first phone in the clamshell form factor, many noticed the external similarity of the design with communication devices from the legendary science fiction movie Star Trek. At the time of its release (and then it was 1996), the mobile phone was a small revolution, it had all the features that competitors lacked: small size and weight, new, convenient form factor, stylish appearance and the ability to carry without discomfort in any pocket. By the way, this is the first mobile phone with vibrate mode, which could be turned on at times when a loud call would be out of place.

Dimensions mobile phone were 94x55x19 mm, and weight - 88 g. The company promised up to 60 minutes of talk time on a single battery charge, although in reality the figures were significantly lower, but the optional additional battery saved. The first model supported analog AMPS networks and was equipped with a segment LED display. A little later, CDMA, TDMA, GSM models with an LCD display appeared (pictured).

Motorola RAZR V3

In 2004, Motorola RAZR V3 became, one might say, a style icon. It was positioned as a flagship, fashion model of the manufacturer. The phone was made in the then popular form factor "cot". The main emphasis was placed on the bright, memorable design of the device: most of the body was made of metal, and the thickness was very small, which caused the creators to associate with a razor (Razor), hence the name RAZR. the keyboard was flat and also made of sheet metal. It was difficult to call it comfortable, but, as they say, "beauty requires sacrifice." Specifications could not be called top-end at that time, although the company did not pursue them: the main display had a diagonal of 2.2 inches and a resolution of 176x220 and could display about 262 thousand colors. The external STN display had a resolution of 96x80 pixels and displayed 4096 colors. The camera took photos 640x480 and video 176x144 pixels. The phone was equipped with Bluetooth 1.2, GPRS class 10 and mini-USB . internal memory was about 7.2 MB. The phone was powered by Li-ion battery on680 mAh The dimensions of the phone were 98x53x14 mm, weight - 95 g. a large number of variations on the RAZR V3 theme.

Motorola E398 and ROKR E1

I would combine the Motorola E398 and ROKR E1 phones, since the differences between them were minimal: the color of the case (black for the E398 and white for the E1), the presence of an additional button in the E1 to launch the music player (this modification had iTunes, please note). It was the first sign of the line of "musical" phones of the ROKR series. The phones were equipped with really powerful stereo speakers and LED "light music" flashing in time with the composition or ringtone played on the speaker. There was a built-in MP3 player and a microSD card slot. An impressive amount of 512 MB was supported at that time, but with some reservations regarding the firmware: my E398 on the factory firmware from time to time lost contact with the memory card, was treated with a reboot, after flashing it worked without questions and with 512 MB.

The phones used different versions BY ( Synergy 2.0 for E398 and Synergy 2.1 for E1), which was also not a problem: smartphones were very easy to flash and were almost never killed by this process, there were a huge number of custom assemblies, at one time I was entertained by this process every day. The smartphone had a successful, comfortable shape, the case is covered with a pleasant Soft Touch coating, which had the ability to peel off over time. The phone was equipped with a TFT display with a resolution of 220x176 pixels, displaying 262144 colors. Camera - 0.3 megapixels. Dimensions:108x45x19 mm, and the device weighed 107 g.

Motorola V70

The next device also became the ancestor of a rather interesting form factor. Phone Motorola V70 was the first with the design of the "rotator" (rotate - rotate). The top cover does not open, as in clamshells, but rotates in the plane of the case and is fixed in the 180º position for talking. The cover could rotate around the screen in any direction by 360 º. Another interesting feature was the screen. It was round (or so it seemed). In fact, it was a standard, rectangular shape with a resolution 96x64, just its corners are hidden, and the display itself is inverted, that is, light characters are displayed on a black background.

The rings around the screen could be changed to optional ones. Dimensions were 94x38x18 mm, and weight - 83 g. The capacity of the standard Li-Ion battery was 430 mAh, although a 700 mAh thicker one could be optionally supplied. The phone came out in 2002.

Motorola Aura

Continuing the theme of rotators, one cannot but recall such a wonderful fashion device as the Motorola Aura. Its body was made of metal and had no sharp corners, only rounded shapes. There was a window on the back panel, in which the gears of the rotator mechanism were visible, here clock springs, 130 ball bearing, and tungsten gears, the phone is quite deservedly associated with expensive mechanical wrist watch. This time the screen was really round. Used LCD-display with a diameter of 1.55 inches, 480 dots diagonally manufactured by Sharp. The screen was covered with a 62 carat sapphire crystal.

Like most phones of this class, from a functional point of view, the device did not differ in anything outstanding. In addition to the standard telephone functions there was a 2 megapixel fixed focus camera, Java support, a rudimentary web browser, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, A2DP and music player(although there was no standard headphone output, only through an adapter). In a device of this class, all these functions are rather formal. It went on sale in 2008, the price tag was very impressive.

Motorola ROKR E8

In the same 2008, another representative of the musical line was released - a device called ROKR E8. It was a more familiar candy bar, but it also could not do without exotics. The body was quite thin, but wide, back panel was made of metal. The lock was made in the form of a side slider. The first unusual feature was the screen: it had a landscape orientation, while in most competitors the screen was in portrait. Diagonal - 2 inches, resolution - 320x240. There was a 3.5 mm headphone jack, which had not yet become standard in mobile phones.

The main feature was the adaptive keyboard, which was named by the company ModeShift. In the locked state, no symbols were displayed on it at all. In phone mode, the keypad took on a standard look; in player and camera mode, the corresponding control buttons were highlighted. An additional control was the Omega Wheel touch ring, with which you could scroll through lists, tracks, radio stations and adjust the volume. The phone had 2 GB of internal memory and a microSD slot. Camera - 2 megapixels.

Motorola MPx200

Let's move on to the company's smartphones and start with the MPx line. 3 models were released: MPx200, an improved version MPx220 and exotic MPx with 2.8" resistive touch screen and a design that allows you to open the smartphone both in a vertical plane (like a standard clamshell) and in a horizontal one. Let's dwell on the mass-produced MPx200 clamshell, which was released in 2003. The smartphone worked on the OS Windows Mobile for Smartphone 2002, which supported non-touchscreen devices. The gadget has become quite popular in certain circles.

One of the useful features was a metal fastening mechanism, which gave rigidity and reliability to the device. The main screen had a resolution of 220x176 and displayed 65536 colors optional - 80x48. The smartphone was equipped with a MiniUSB port and IRDA, in addition, they shoved a slot for SD memory cards into it. supported WAP 1.2.1, GPRS class 8, had a built-in POP/SMTP client and HTML support. Motorola devices have always been famous for the possibility of fairly painless flashing, and this device is no exception: all released versions Windows Mobile for Smartphone could be installed on it.

Motorola MING a1200

Motorola has also experimented with Linux-based variants. Far from the first, but perhaps the most popular was the MING a1200 smartphone. It was equipped with a 2.4-inch touch screen with a resolution of 320x240 (resistive, of course) and an interesting design solution in the form of a transparent flip on which the speaker was placed. There were wires going to it right through the plastic cover. The smartphone was equipped with a 2-megapixel camera with two focal lengths, a slot for microSD memory cards, Bluetooth and FM radio.

With the smart component, not everything was so smooth. Initially, only Java applications were supported, but after flashing, it was possible to run applications developed using the QT cross-platform toolkit. The smartphone appeared in 2007.

Motorola RIZR Z8

Another fairly experimental device from RIZR Z8, released in 2007. It had a rather interesting design, a black body with yellow elements. The design was named Kick Slider. It differed from ordinary sliders in that, when open, the device had the shape of a banana instead of the standard straight line. This had a rather positive effect on the convenience during the conversation. The smartphone was equipped with a 2.2-inch screen with a resolution of 320x240.

It ran on the rather controversial UIQ 3.1 platform, based on the Symbian 9.2 OS. It was mainly used in sensory devices, Sony Ericsson it was often used. In this case, the screen was not touch. Motorola decided to get out with the help of so-called plug-ins that displayed the information the user needed, they could be displayed simultaneously up to five pieces.

Motorola Milestone (Droid)

Let's finish (almost) today's story about the later device of the company, on the more familiar now operating system Android. The Milestone smartphone (simply called DROID in the US) was released in 2009. In our latitudes, it appeared in 2010 and was one of the last official Motorola mobile terminals we had before the shop closed. It was in many ways indicative: it was a side slider with a QWERTY keyboard and a metal case. The screen at that time was impressive: it had a diagonal of 3.7 inches, a resolution of 854x480 and was capacitive.

The smartphone was the first on the then updated OS Android 2.0. Over time (in 2011) updated to 2.2. In 2.0, flash support first appeared, which Motorola took advantage of and installed a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and dual flash. The device worked on the processor TI OMAP 3430 ( ARM Cortex A8) with a clock frequency of 550 MHz, the amount of RAM was 256 MB, built-in - 215, of course, there was support for MicroSD memory cards. The battery capacity was 1400 mAh.

Bonus: The world's first mobile phone Motorola DynaTAC

That's all, but as a bonus, it is worth remembering, in fact, the world's first mobile phone Motorola DynaTAC, and the first call was made by April 4, 1973 by its creator Martin Cooper. He called the offices of Bell Laboratories' main competitors and bragged to the head of research, Joel Engel, that he was calling from a real cell phone. For a long 10 years, until 1983, when the phone received FCC certification, it was significantly improved and already weighed about 800 g (against more than 1 kg in its first version), and the dimensions were 225x125x37.5 mm.
