Motorola plans to bring a $50 smartphone

The success of Moto G, which is an affordable version of Moto X likely gave ideas to Motorola that wants to invest more widely sector smartphone at Low Cost. This is at least as indicated by the pattern of the brand that wishes soon to launch a smartphone at $50.

Unable to truly seduce with its Moto X offering benefits at an average range for a decidedly high price, the Moto G currently seems most benefit to the firm acquired by Google.

Dennis Woodside, president of Motorola at TrustedReviews has shared its intention to target the area of Low Cost to reach a maximum of markets taking its Moto G as an example: "In much of the world, $179 is still a substantial sum. So there is a huge market below $179. This is what we will soon focus. And it is crucial for us to place ourselves in this price range. I do not see why these devices could be sold to $50. There is no reason why this does not happen and we are going to work. "

A vague idea rather than a concrete project at the moment, but that could quickly germinate, with support from Google that would benefit a little more with massive exploitation of these emerging markets, or more generally for the less fortunate users.

So you cannot know what the technical details of this smartphone to the maximum bar of $50 will have, also manufacturers offering such products are rare, including the side of the Chinese manufacturers.

However, Android 4.4 KitKat is specifically optimized to operate on the smaller configurations, including mobile devices such as watches connected. Nothing prevents Google to adapt its OS in the future to be launched on smartphones to ultralight configuration. Since no manufacturer has ventured into this segment with Android, Google could take the opportunity with Motorola to lead the way and allow the brand to become a profitable business.
