      okcnaline, 30 Jan 2018Motorola is great under Lenovo? There was no innovation and... moreman every year 2 new moto mods are released. Top motorola phones have Shatterproof display and the are really unique on touch. They are the phones you always like to have. I feel that when i am holding my Moto X4.
      Maybe you dont know but Lenovo is not doing any more phones under Lenovo sticker on it but they do Motorola phones.
      I really think motomods are pretty nice innovation and i really like to say noone copy mtomods instead ofter companies copy all they can.
      Like Mi Max 3 will be first phone with SD845 and then S9 from Samsung etc. Other brands keep stealing technologies from each other but Motomods are really something unique also Shatterproof display.
      You have no idea how many customers came to my shop with broken screen for repair.
      And i believe i dont need to tell you how much cost front glass on S8 or Apple 8, 8+ and X or back panel. So the Shatterproof screen is really awesome.

        Anonymous, 30 Jan 2018Yeah. Even my G4 Play works fine.my Lenovo Vibeshot bought when released for almost 400 eur works like brand new and i am heavy gamer. I once replaced battery but apart from that the phone is lightning fast supports fast charge looks like profesional camera supports voLTE etc. Its like my best phone along with my Moto X4 bought on contract when i got opportunity here in slovakia buy new phone from my mobile provider after 2 years.
        I have much better experiences with chinese phones that whith so called leaders of the market.

          It is a good investment both for G and HTC. It is only for some of the Engineers.
          HTC continues on its own.

          It makes a lot of sense for Google, they already have a formidable architecture, best overall camera, its own processor and HTC have some really great inventions / hardware, quality builds etc and the team they are buying have Pixel experience. Pixel 3 and on are going to be even further advanced and beautiful looking. I do hope the screen to frame edge transition is smoother going forward instead of feeling like it is sitting in a back shell. Exciting 18/19

            Note7 owner, 30 Jan 2018HTC once the market leader now being sold for peanuts. What... moreEh...

            If Google doesn't resell HTC and utilize the workers and trademarks, Google can go far in phone industry.

              AnonD-731363, 30 Jan 2018Man motorola is great company despite its under lenovo now.... moreMotorola is great under Lenovo? There was no innovation and no freedom to innovate under Lenovo. With Google they created active display and the always-on Google assistant that everyone else copied.

                                I hope they keep their phones.

                                U11 is better than pixel 2 in every subject.
                                Way cheaper

                                      The Pixel's will finally look different.

                                        HTC once the market leader now being sold for peanuts. What a shame.
