About Motorola

Motorola proved the naysayers wrong and got this whole crazy cell phone business started back in the 1980’s when they produced “The Brick”, a large, um, ‘portable’ cell phone that was short on looks, but worked!

Shortly thereafter, business really took off when Motorola came out with the StarTac, a sexy flip that was futuristic by anyone’s standards at the time and a huge seller.

Since those early days, Motorola has continued to produce numerous and popular phones, including the extremely successful Razr, a model which ushered in the “thin” fad.

Unfortunately, Motorola has hit hard times during the past couple years with a combination of record losses, an exodus of top CEO’s and ultimately the company being put up for sale.

Motorola is based in Schaumburg, Illinois and was founded in 1928 as the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation.

There's one in eBay for approximately $180, used "As new - immaculate". Yours probably better. But I think it will require the correct buyer to reach that amount.

Looks like it gathers data and submits to Xiaomi. The data is used to train their system to recognize the activity you are performing at a given time. For more info, check this page: click here Hope that helps!

This phone is really old. Or are you pertaining to a new version? There's no official announcement about it. What your probably saw is a concept video.
