Android is one of the most important and widely used mobile operating systems in the world, causing even manufacturers to change the design of their terminals to allow a more intuitive design. This is the case of Motorola, which, long before launching its first mobile phone with Google software, manufactured really curious devices.
Like Samsung and Nokia, Motorola Also its time to play with mobile phone designs. Although it was the first company to launched the first commercial terminalSpecifically in 1984, little by little it grew and changed its designs until it became what it is today, a really important global brand resurrected in part thanks to the purchase of Google and subsequent sale to Lenovo. Today we offer you a tour of the company's past to see how the company's designs have evolved along with the market.
Motorola V100
Also known as the Motorola V.box, the V100 looked more like a toy than a phone due to its semi-transparent plastic casing and fully equipped QWERTY keyboard. It was 25 millimeters thick when closed and offered a 126 x 64 pixel internal monochrome display and a 600 mAh battery. It was released 14 years ago, in the year 2000 (yes, it is not as far behind as you thought).
Motorola V70
Continuing with the strange phones, the Motorola V70 hit the market in 2002 with an iconic design thanks to its twist mechanism that concealed the keypad when it was closed. Its screen was quite small (white on black) and had a resolution of 96 x 64 pixels.
Motorola A925
A year later, the change was quite remarkable. The launch of more than interesting terminals began, with incredible technical characteristics for that time and that now seem quite normal to us. In this case, the A925 carried with it a Symbian-based user interface and offered a 208 x 320-pixel resistive touchscreen, stylus, 3G, GPS, and two cameras so we could make video calls. Of course, it was quite large and weighed its own (210 grams), but it was one of the precursors of what we can now call a smartphone.
MOTOROLA MOTOJEWEL
As the name suggests, this 2008 phone looked like a gem, or at least it was trying. This shell type terminal had an internal 2-inch QVGA screen and an external 128 x 160-pixel OLED-type screen attached to several touch-sensitive buttons dedicated to music.
Motorola AURA
Following the design of the V70, this luxury phone hit the market in 2008 and was the first to offer a circular display (480 pixels in diameter). It also had a 2 megapixel camera and 2 GB of internal memory, which increased its price to $ 2.000. Could this be the origin of Motorcycle 360?
After all these models, the manufacturer repeatedly pointed to the use of Android or Android-based operating systems such as the Motorola Ming series or the flip out, which came with Eclair 2.1. As you can see, the design of smartphones and phones in general has advanced incredibly (and thank goodness), offering increasingly smaller terminals but with more functions. The last to arrive from this company has been the Motorola Moto E, an inexpensive smartphone with mid-range features, which we already talked about in its presentation.
