Motorola has dismissed claims that it is ditching the Moto G and Moto E, and insists that recent comments made by a Lenovo executive were misunderstood.

Lenovo has confirmed that the midrange Moto G and entry-level Moto E are dead as Motorola — now dubbed “Moto by Lenovo” — switches its focus to high-end devices. Lenovo will continue to offer more affordable smartphones as part of its Vibe range.
