Goodbye, Moto: Killian Bell/Cult of Android

Lenovo is killing the Motorola brand name almost a year after it purchased the company from Google in a deal worth $2.91 billion.

Premium smartphones will use the “Moto by Lenovo” name going forward, while budget devices will be integrated into Lenovo’s Vibe lineup.

Motorola’s new Moto 360 Sport, the rugged alternative to Moto 360 for the sporty, is finally available to purchase from the company’s online store.

The new wearable has exactly the same internals as the 42mm Moto 360 (second-generation), but it swaps the stainless steel and leather for a robust plastic and silicone form factor that’s better suited to the outdoors.

Amazon has slashed $100 off Motorola’s new Moto X Pure Edition for one day only. The discount reduces the price of the 32GB model to just $349.

Motorola could be gearing up to give the Moto X a big makeover. An alleged prototype for next year’s refresh suggests the device will carry a more premium design made mostly out of metal.

The Moto G is a stellar smartphone for the money — and even better at just $100. That’s all you’ll pay for the second-generation model if you buy it from Amazon before Monday, November 30.
