So let's get this straight:

-Moto made decentish Android phones in China.

-Moto is bought by Google. Transforms into arguably the best high end phone mfgr in the world, with handsets assembled in USA. Moto is forging ahead with some truly innovative features on their phones, whilst maintaining the core Google experience. They are the only mfgr to do this.

-Moto is bought by a Chinese company.

Sooooo... what's next? I hope than Lenovo can keep the most exciting mfgr going the right direction.



Lenovo already does laptop and desktop assembly in the USA, very similar to Motorola.


They do? All the laptops and desktops that passed through our shop were originally shipping from Shenzen (or nearby), but then again I'm in the Canadian market.

Is it possible that the "assembly" in the US is just nominal?


I think the assembly in the US is nominal for both Motorola and Lenovo to roughly the same degree. They extended their North Carolina location to do manufacturing/assembly at the start of last year:
