Motorola Moto (or Moto) is a trademark owned by Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC. It is used and marketed on Android-based smartphones and wearable devices manufactured by Motorola Mobility, a subsidiary of Lenovo Group. In November 2016, it was announced that all smartphones from Lenovo would carry the Moto name. The Moto brand is also used and marketed for certain public-safety products from Motorola Solutions and by Motorola brand licensees on certain home products and mobile accessories.
After Google purchased Motorola Mobility in 2012, a simplified smartphone lineup debuted in 2013 with Moto X at the high end, Moto E on the low end/budget, and Moto G in the middle. In 2016, the Moto X line was discontinued and the Moto Z line took its place at the high end.
