About Motorola

The brand name is not in vain heard in many countries. The fact is that at one time the company was one of the world leaders in the field of integrated telecommunications for a long time.

Having begun its activities in the USA in 1928 as a family business, the company in 1943 was transformed into an open joint stock company under the brand name Motorola.

By the way, it was Motorola that released the world's first pager in 1956. And the first commercial portable cell phone, which was released in 1983, is also the merit of this company.

However, the heyday of the company lasted until the onset of the 2000s, after which a wave of losses forced the corporation to get rid of illiquid areas, so by 2011 a branch of Motorola Mobility appeared.And after that, users did not see any bright models under the Motorola logo.

The situation began to change for the better after Motorola Mobility entered the Lenovo alliance. Noteworthy smartphones began to appear on the market. The Motorola P40 will become exactly such an expected novelty.

A monobrow or a more trendy recent drop - neither one nor the other will appear on the front of the smartphone. Manufacturers announced the so-called "camera hole". It is worth noting that such a design solution is no longer a breakthrough or a unique characteristic. After all, similar round windows for the selfie camera appeared at the end of December on Huawei Honor View 20 and nova 4 smartphones.

The dimensions of the gadget are 160.1 x 71.2 x 8.7 mm.

The case will presumably have rounding in the corners, the material of execution is glass.

Connectors and sensors

The popular method of unlocking the phone by applying the owner's finger will also be implemented in this model. The fingerprint sensor is located on the back surface.
