How do I get the feeling that this Chinese company knows better of what
it is doing than any of the US companies.

Google has sold struggling US mobile phone company Motorola Mobility to
Chinese computer maker Lenovo for $2.91bn (£1.8bn), in a surprise move.

Google had paid $12.5bn for the company less than two years ago.

Lenovo plans to build up its smartphone unit through the Motorola
purchase, which may help offset its slowing personal computer business.

However, Google will keep the majority of Motorola's lucrative patents,
which include one for Android software.

In a statement, Google said the smartphone market was "super
competitive" and that Motorola would "be better served by Lenovo".

Analysis
Leo Kelion Technology reporter

Google always said the motivation behind buying Motorola's mobile phone
business was its patents. This deal sees it keep most of them. That will
help it fight future legal battles to protect its Android operating
system.

The search giant had always kept the division at arm's length, in part
to tackle any perception that it would give its own hardware an unfair
advantage against other phone sellers. The outcome was that third-party
made Google Nexus-branded phones often stole the limelight.

Even when Google did invest in a reported $500m marketing blitz to
promote Motorola's flagship - the Moto X - in the US, the brand only
made slight gains in market share.

A sale to Lenovo means Google can stop worrying about Motorola clocking
up further losses. It will now be interesting to see if owning the brand
can help Lenovo to do what other Chinese smart device makers have
struggled at: cracking western markets.

Can Lenovo do an IBM with Motorola?

The purchase is set to make Lenovo the world's third-largest smartphone
maker behind Samsung and Apple.

Market research firm Strategy Analytics said in a blog post that Lenovo
had made "a good move" and would benefit from economies of scale.

"The Chinese vendor gets access to the valuable US smartphone market and
the fast-growing Latin America region. This complements its existing
global PC business.

"For Motorola, it gains access to an ambitious sugar daddy that has a
strong presence in the huge China market. For Google, it divests a
loss-making hardware division," it said.
Chinese deal-maker

This is the second major acquisition for Lenovo in the same number of
weeks.

Last Thursday, the Thinkpad-maker announced it had acquired IBM's
low-end server business for $2.3bn, in what was then China's biggest
technology deal.

Shares of Lenovo being traded in Hong Kong fell by more than 8%
following the announcement, which came after the US market had closed.

"Whether Lenovo can turn around the long-struggling Motorola business,
and what happens to the Motorola brand long-term, remain key questions
that will need to be answered in the coming months," Strategy Analytics
said.

On a conference call following the deal's announcement, Lenovo chief
financial officer Wong Waiming said they were not concerned that they
may have overpaid for Motorola.
