Motorola, Inc. was once a prominent American telecommunications and electronics company.
Motorola was founded in 1928 as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. The company initially produced battery eliminators.
Motorola played a pivotal role in the development of various technologies, including the car radio, two-way radios for public safety and military use, and the first commercial cellular phone, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X(brick phone).
It expanded into manufacturing a wide range of products, including semiconductors, radios, televisions, and more. The company's semiconductor division, in particular, was a major supplier of microprocessors and other electronic components.
In 2011, Motorola, Inc. was split into two separate companies: Motorola Solutions and Motorola Mobility. Motorola Solutions primarily focused on providing communication and infrastructure solutions to businesses and government agencies, while Motorola Mobility focused on consumer products like smartphones and tablets.
In 2012, Google acquired Motorola Mobility primarily for its extensive patent portfolio. However, Google later sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo in 2014, and it became a subsidiary of Lenovo Group Limited. Under Lenovo's ownership, the brand continued to produce smartphones and other consumer electronics.
