immediately have to pay 660 million dollars. cash and $ 750 million. in shares, and the remainder ($ 1.5 billion.) to be disbursed in installments, which will be repaid by the next three years.
Lenovo bought
department dedicated to the development and production of smartphones, as well as part of the company’s patents. Including them is to be more than 2000, and this manufacturer of the Middle Kingdom has licensed a number of other solutions from Google. The acquisition of Motorola is a clear confirmation that the Chinese are going with a vengeance this year to enter the U.S. market, as indeed confirmed several times by representatives of the company.
amount of the transaction itself may seem quite low – by purchasing Motorola, Google paid about 12.5 billion dollars. The lion’s share of this amount represented fees for patents and proprietary solutions, which in total was nearly 25 thousand. Lenovo bought their small part (which probably refers to the hardware). The vast majority of Motorola’s proprietary property still remains in Mountain View.
Somewhat confirmed the words of Larry Page, who argued that patents are mostly steady for the previous transaction. This is confirmed by the fact that Google stopped Advanced Technology division, responsible for the creation of new solutions. One of the last projects of the company is Ara, ie the modular concept of the smartphone.
reason for resale Lenovo Motorola are obviously the losses they incur this forum from month to month. The company did not help either introduce a refined and well-optimized Moto X, or launch the model Moto G, which is unquestionably one of the best Androids in this price segment.
Motorola Mobility and its fans can not be this bad news, however. In contrast to Google, the Chinese company in the first place depends on the devices and will certainly she had the idea to use the potential of unwanted Google. Lenovo now has an interesting smartphones, and when to make them even solutions Moto X may arise really good cells.
Lenovo is the largest PC manufacturer in the world (in the last month, the company has overtaken HP). The department took over the company at the end of IBM. So we can expect that announcement to restore its former glory Motorola Mobility is not just wishful thinking. Besides the Chinese for their chance in the global smartphone market waited for a long time, and last year it was loud about the intentions of buying a BlackBerry or HTC.
