Earlier this year, we celebrated 45 years of major mobile moments. From the world's first portable cell phone to the iconic RAZR to the launch of the moto z family and our revolutionary modular technology: moto mods , Motorola is a leading innovator in the mobile industry.
We're making history again as the first manufacturer to connect mobile consumers with a 5G network using our moto mod technology. With up to 10 times the speed of today's wireless technology, lower latency and higher bandwidth, access to 5G networks will strengthen mobile connectivity and radically improve the smartphone experience.
Get ready for uninterrupted 4K live streaming and video chatting, lag-free gaming and VR experiences, and the fastest download speeds ever. 5G will make using smartphones dramatically faster and smoother for consumers, and enable businesses to empower their employees with greater efficiency and productivity on the go. 5G will even bring to life new and exciting experiences not yet conceived.
After two years of expanding smartphone capabilities with better photography, sound, battery life, and more, Motorola is excited to unleash the full potential of the moto mods platform by delivering first-to-market technology with 5G.
Say Hello to the new moto z3 and 5G moto mod 1 . When paired with the mod, moto z3 is the world's first smartphone with access to Verizon's 5G Network, delivering a new beginning for indulging in video, connecting home devices, working remotely and gaming in AR and VR. Motorola also partnered with Qualcomm to achieve this industry milestone utilizing the flagship Snapdragon X50 modem and millimeter wave components.
Endless Possibilities with 5G
Building upon our deep history in innovation, our intent is to put meaningful technology in consumers hands as soon as it's ready and never stop looking for new ways to deliver the best mobile devices on the planet. Today, we're taking mobile technology to the next level by not only transforming the device but also what fuels it.
