Google Sells Motorola Mobility To Lenovo, Moto G's India Launch Not Affected


"Google's mission is to connect as many people as possible to internet, Motorola is a hardware manifestation of this goal. We want to build devices that connect millions of new users to internet and want to do it in a way that doesn't compromise quality of products and user experience," Steve Sinclair, vice-president of global marketing at Motorola Mobility, had told at the time of Motorola acquisition. Google had gone through with that deal keeping in mind Motorola’s trove of around 17,000 patents.

Meanwhile, the release of Moto G handset in India will go on as per schedule, says Motorola. "The deal has yet to be approved in the US or China, and this usually takes time. So until then, it's business as usual," Page (CEO of Google) wrote in his blog. A Motorola executive joined the chorus by saying, "India plans are still on, India is still important to us."
