Feb. 09, 2012
IDSTEIN, Germany – Feb. 9, 2012 – Calling all Germany style mavens! Flaunt your fashion flair with the ultra-vogue, rail-thin MOTOLUXE™ from Motorola Mobility.
When it comes to panache, this Android™ 2.3 powered smartphone sets the bar high. With a 4-inch touchscreen that’s perfect for writing emails, surfing the Web and watching movies, you’ll have fun and stay connected – whether at work, hanging out with friends or out on the town. You can get your MOTOLUXE in licorice at a suggested retail price of 279 Euro. The new smartphone will be available starting in March at Telekom among others.
For photo buffs, MOTOLUXE’s 8-megapixel autofocus camera with flash lets you shoot like a pro. And after the photo shoot, take advantage of the phone’s pre-loaded social networking apps to share the pics with your friends and family.
Motorola’s MotoSwitch user interface changes the way you manage your life. With MotoSwitch, your smartphone learns who you talk to and which apps you use and keeps all of that information front and center. The Social Graph feature gives you easy and fast access to the people who really matter. It learns who’s most important to you and uses that information to populate the home screen. The more frequently you communicate with someone, the bigger their icon becomes. The Activity Graph gives you quick and easy access to your favorite apps, automatically changing to reflect the apps you use the most. With Music Now you can easily play your favorite music while the Smart Gallery displays your favorite pictures as collections.
When you’re on the go, MOTOLUXE’s GPS technology will point you in the right direction and make sure you get to where the action is. If that isn’t enough, the phone is Bluetooth®-enabled, as well as your portal into the Android Market™ where you’ll find thousands of games, apps, music, books and movies.
MOTOLUXE also sets itself apart with a lanyard slot that lights up. So you can see when you’ve missed a call, received a text or have an email waiting for you..
“By combining sleek style with Android brains, MOTOLUXE is ideal for people who want the latest technology in a sophisticated package,” said Claudia Laepke, marketing director, Motorola Mobility Germany GmbH. “Not only does this smartphone have a big screen and the latest, greatest entertainment tools, it’s affordable and won’t take a bite out of your budget.”
