Lenovo is preparing to relaunch Motorola smartphones in South Africa this year (2015), says Mohammed Kharroubi, Lenovo MEA Communications Chief.
This development follows a successful performance in India where Motorola revealed it sold three million smartphones since the brand relaunched in the country last year.
This newly acquired Lenovo subsidiary – Motorola last week made a formal return to China, after a two-year silence. And the brand is hoping to reclaim its spot in the market, with not only high-quality phones, but by giving Chinese consumers control over how the devices look and feel.
Media reports quote Motorola chief operating officer Rick Osterloh as saying “We’re delivering the very best to consumers and giving them the power to choose.”
The brand was bought by Lenovo for over $2million from Google.
