                          So long as their "strategic integration" is "ongoing", employee trimming will also be "ongoing". If they are already strategic, why downsize workforce? More like, they are discharging workforce due to idleness or inactivity

It is preloaded with Nougat, ready to go. Also, "mite"? You are talking about the abbreviated form of "termite" right? In which case, call an exterminator.

                                  sarantis antonakas , 27 Sep 2016i think lenovo/motorola deserve that as they try to follow ... moreThe headphone jack was removed on the standard Moto Z and Z force because A. It (standard Z) is too thin to support one and B. Because even if it was thick enough, like, say, the Moto Z force, the even bigger sacrifice in battery capacity for both models would've been worse than not having a headphone jack. The reason why the Z Play has one is due to A. Its all glass back, which means that Motorola does not have to rearrange the antennas and radios to the top and bottom of the phones where the glass strips are on the Z and Z force, so there is extra room at hand and B. The Z Play is bigger in width and length than both the Z and Z force and is the same thickness as the Z force, so there is even more room for a headphone jack. Apple's removal of the headphone jack is a different story. There is perfect space for one inside the phone. Clearly, you have not seen the internal arrangements of either phone.

                                      i think lenovo/motorola deserve that as they try to follow apple. they took the 3.5mm jack off just because apple did it. HTC is willing to follow.
                                      people/ companies that they dont have their own opinion they cant sucseed. thats how i see it at least!
                                      put the removable batteries back on and the headphone jack and you mite hava a second chance.

                                        “part of the ongoing strategic integration between Lenovo and Motorola’s smartphone business as the company further aligns its organization and streamlines it product portfolio to best compete in the global smartphone market.” - when you see this you know that some idiots work at that Corporation. This is clearly a message copied from other old announcements because somebody is incompetent to write a proper one.
