Motorola is an American telecommunications company known for pioneering mobile communications. Founded in 1928 as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation, it became Motorola in 1947. The company developed the first handheld mobile phone in 1973 and introduced the DynaTAC 8000X, the world’s first commercial mobile phone, in 1983. Motorola played a key role in shaping the mobile phone industry throughout the 1990s and early 2000s with popular devices like the Razr series.

In 2011, Motorola split into two entities: Motorola Mobility and Motorola Solutions. Google acquired Motorola Mobility in 2012, primarily for its patents, and later sold it to Lenovo in 2014. Today, under Lenovo, Motorola focuses on affordable smartphones with solid performance, especially the Moto G and Moto Edge series. Known for innovation and near-stock Android experiences, Motorola continues to be a respected brand in global mobile markets.
