Remember Motorola? In the early 2000s, they made those super popular flip phones that everyone seemed to have. While Motorola phones were quite appealing back in the day, after the launch of the iPhone, their popularity basically fell off a cliff. Motorola tried pivoting to smartphones themselves, but this wasn’t all that successful. Considering this, you wouldn’t expect that someone like Google would even consider acquiring this company much less for $12.5 billion. On paper, this ended up being a massive loss as Google would end up selling Motorola just a few years later for just $2.9 billion. But, if you look deeper, you’ll see that this was actually one of Google’s best acquisitions. You see, Google didn’t buy Motorola for their hardware business. Google bought Motorola to acquire its intellectual property. This was crucial in defending against Apple and Microsoft who were suing Google for Android. Motorola would very much help Google in defending Android. Not to mention, it didn’t cost them that much out of pocket when you factor in tax write-offs and the 22,500 patents they got to keep. This video explains the story of Google acquiring Motorola and why Motorola was by far Google’s most underrated acquisition.

I knew about the Google's acquisition of Motorola many years ago and how profitable it was for them. Those patents are worth more than you think. Among these are some fundamental patents that allow phones to even work, so it's a passive income for Google for just holding the patent while everyone has to scramble and pay them. Though you put it very nicely together and packaging information is a really great business nowadays. Bravo.

Actually Google bought Motorola not to fight against Apple and Microsoft, but to fight against Samsung. In 2011, Samsung was trying to replace Android with their own OS quietly. Google could use Motorola to ramp up its own major handset business and the market would be theirs, and this leverage made Samsung very nervous, to the point where their handset business could obliterate. Once they signed a deal with Samsung where they (Samsung) promised not to play around with Android, Google sold Motorola to Lenovo and managed to keep 23000 patents. that's what we call masterstroke.

2 things can be true at once! They fought against Apple, Microsoft and Samsung. Samsung at the time was already selling devices running both their own Tizen OS and Android, they were not willing to fully bet on Android. They still actively develop Tizen to this day. Tizen runs on Samsung TVs, smartwatches and some of their older fridges. *Edit: Samsung also sold phones running Windows Mobile. They were practically the best phone OEM and were not willing to limit themselves to just one OS.

It was in the news that Lenovo also wanted to buy Motorola same time as Google but Lenovo went to the wrong division of Motorola.

Essentially Google gave Lenovo a discount by keeping almost all of those patents for Google's use.

I really like what they’re doing with Motorola and I think Motorola finally got the investment and care they deserved from Google. Google was in it only for their own benefit.

Patents do promote innovation, but then stifle competition. The problem is the barrier to what can be patented. Apple managed to patent the rectangle, absolutely absurd. Medieval guilds worked on a different level. They didn't protect the products, they protected the skills to make the products. I'm sure mafia tactics would be used against people selling a product outside guild rules, but that was extralegal.

They charge every android every manufacturer EXCEPT Google because of Goog's extensive mobile patent portfolio they purchased from Motorola. If MS went to court with Google then Google had enough patents to not only defend itself but also countersue for any MS mobile product that is sold. Not sure how much of this is still true in 2022.

As I remember it, at the time it was very clear that the patents were what Google wanted. I suspect that most of the hype around how much Google allegedly "wasted" was from parties wanting to put Google down (none named, none forgotten), rather than talking about the broader economic picture. And it was hugely worth it, also to others than Google, to be able to significantly cool off the wave of patent trolling-like litigation about broad concepts being classified as exclusive IP. Like the dead simple (but good) idea about operating a smartphone with a sideways swipe to unlock. Very logical thing to do with good touchscreens, and allowing such things to be patented is a major failure of the patent system.

I bought 2 Google phones Moto X and the Nexus 6 they were fantastic phones and very cheap. They had solid quality. What made it even crazier they were made in the USA.

Another speculated reason is that, at the time Samsung was planning to release their own OS for a few their phones alongside using heavily modified Android on their remaining phones. Motorola's success in the budget section and Nexus at the premium meant that Samsung had to finally drop their OS plans. Also they signed a contract with Google stating that they'll concentrate on using core features of Android and reduce the modifications. 2 days after signing the contract with Samsung, Google sold Motorola to Lenovo.

Two main takeaways from this: Motorola was undervalued, which is a coincidence because I had bought shares of them, and also of google, and when Google bought them its value went up. Secondly that the Android OS is cheaper IE free and customizable which is vastly superior to Apple iPhone, this is evidenced by their market share as well.

Very well laid out. Thank you Harry. P.S. : of course I'm a fan of open source software. Open source code is the only warranty of security and open competition. In less than five years, as the race for the higher clock frequency and the higher core count will slowly end, and the new competition between Android, Apple and the forks will be about the hardware accelerators and AI functions. New smart functions will suddenly appear; as the new AI developments are often more art than science (bot/neural networks training is mostly trial&error), the Android open structure will allow more "tuned" coders and programmer's to develop the new program structures; a great advantage for Google - if they keep their mind open...

It was obviously for the patents at the time. And it was very, very telling to see which mainstream and technology press outlets were asleep at the wheel (saying the purchase was bad/failed) versus the ones who saw the obvious patent play. A favorite incident of mine was when the iPhone 4 put the antennas into the metal sides, but people holding the metal affected the signal causing problems. A few years later, Motorola made a phone with antennas in the metal sides-only theirs worked because Motorola was a radio company and had tons of experience to be able to do that. The flex!

the razr was kind of a spiritual successor to the motorola star-tac in the mid 90's which was just as popular especially for business use.

Only older computer-savvy people may remember this, but back in the 80s Motorola also made a well-designed and fast series of CPUs (the 680x0 series) that threatened to replace Intel processors. Intel was mainly saved because Microsoft / Windows sticked to the quirky PC platform.

Motorola had long since divested themselves of that part of their business, spinning out Freescale in 2004. The 68000 series didn't really threaten the x86 series: they were incompatible, and IBM had long lost control to the clone manufacturers, which is part of the reason your computer is likely a PC, while the 68000 series was mostly used in closed platforms.

@@talideon Yes, 68k did not catch on. And of course it was the incompatibility between Motorola 68k and Intel x86 and lack of effort & resources to overcome this that did not leave a chance for 68k after IBM decided to use Intel and Microsoft wrote the software for them. The points I was trying to make is that a) the 68k was the better processor at the time when the PC was designed, and IBM considered using the chip in the PC design, but decided to use Intel instead because they had peripheral chips available in quantity (plus better development support and a cheaper price). And b) once they went down this road, it was Microsoft’s resistance (and probably also inability) to offer Windows and development support for other platforms like the superior 68k that closed the door for the 68k platform. (Compare this with how Apple made different choices at different times and moved from 68k to PowerPC, then on to x86 and now ARM.) Of course, many factors played a role, one of them being the early lack of fast emulators for “legacy” software (that Apple added later with Rosetta). But my main point remains that 68k was a threat to Intel x86, that back then it was a better design for years, that it was actually under consideration in the design of the PC, and that it was subsequent lack of support by Microsoft and others that led to the 68k’s relative failure.

Don’t forget the ol’ Motorola StarTAC ! It came years before the Razr. I loved that little flip phone.

Motorola made a much better CPU than the Intel brand for many years . Their CPUs we're used for many brands because of the price AND performance .
