虧損無法擋？Google新春優惠價，賤賣旗下手機事業部Motorola，以後摩托靠Lenovo來拉。

This move will enable Google to devote our energy to driving innovation across the Android ecosystem, for the benefit of smartphone users everywhere. As a side note, this does not signal a larger shift for our other hardware efforts. The dynamics and maturity of the wearable and home markets, for example, are very different from that of the mobile industry. We’re excited by the opportunities to build amazing new products for users within these emerging ecosystems.

大動作收購IBM X86伺服器部門後，甚囂塵上已久的Lenovo手機收購案，最終選擇了Motorola，而非被點名的HTC！

The acquisition, worth at least $2 billion, will include more than 10,000 mobile communications patents currently held by the United States company.

當初Google可是花了125意鎂，才拿下Motorola的。

Google acquired the company and its then 17,000-strong patent portfolio, along with 7,500 filed patents, in August of 2011 for roughly $12.5 billion.


The deal will make Lenovo the world’s 3rd largest smartphone vendor, surpassing China’s Hauwei, with about 6% market share. Huawei had 5.7% share in Q4.
