Motorola is celebrating its 50th anniversary of innovating world’s first cell phone
Motorola, a leading smartphone company, has a legacy of inventing mind-blowing inventions that have given a lot to the world of connection. You would be shocked to know that it was Motorola that gave the world the first handheld cell phone. This cell phone was developed by Martin Cooper an engineer at Motorola and he made his first call using this cell phone on 3 April 1973. He made this call to his competitor whom he had been competing with to develop it and his first line was “I’m calling you on a cell phone, but a real cell phone, a personal, handheld, portable cell phone,”.
It’s been 50 years of this event and Motorola is celebrating this year as a special year. Motorola has posted some of the coolest facts with the name #MotoInnovationLegacy on Twitter. It was Motorola that launched the world’s first commercial portable cellular phone: Motorola Dynatac 800x. Motorola is the first company to bring the world’s first 5G upgradeable smartphone, Moto Z3. These are some of the facts that it has posted and which show its core idea since the beginning is to develop something new for the users.
Some might even say the speed at which we innovate is faster than 5G😉. Always keeping up with the latest technology, here’s another first by #Motorola. Do you know of any other industry firsts that #Moto has accomplished? Comment below!
