Motorola phones face US market ban owing to patent dispute
Motorola phones face US market ban owing to patent dispute
Motorola is facing a US ban after an ITC ruling found that the company's phones violate patents owned by Ericsson.
TL;DR
- Motorola phone sales could be banned in the US if an ITC ruling in favor of Ericsson is upheld.
- Ericsson has claimed that Motorola’s phones infringe upon its 5G wireless communications patents.
- In an initial ruling, the ITC has found that Lenovo-owned Motorola violates Ericsson’s patents.
This would be a pity. I really like my razr+.
there goes the entirety of people who are too poor to afford iphones choices...
(I know there are other options, but genuinely, when I'm out and about I hear that Motorola jingle more than the iPhone's notification or Samsung's spaceline)
I'm pretty sure a lot of people just don't want a iPhone.
My Motorola G7 Power is a good phone. I have had it since 2021 and recently flashed LineageOS on it, and it works like a charm.
Oof.
Me with with my 6 year old phone: "you guys have 5G?"
5G causes crazy battery drain and I don't at all notice a noticeable difference in speed with it with typical cell phone usage. Not sure what I would need to do to actually notice the speed difference. Torrent a file? I have 5G disabled on my phone. Every now and then, I get a text from my cell carrier saying that my phone is 5G capable and I should enable it for better speeds.
My downloads, uploads, and connections in genral are much faster on 5G. I'm talking 200mbps-400mbps vs 10-20mbps speed difference.
On 4G every action takes longer. On 5G I can reliably stream or download FullHD or higher resolution video for offline viewing. Which is a nuisance on 4G.
Dang. My motorola phone is pretty awesome though. Idk what I'll get after this thing's lifespan is done.
That's too bad, the G stylus is actually a pretty decent midrange phone. It replaced my Fold and I was pleasantly surprised at how far midrange phones have come.
