Motorola Will Focus On “Smart Actions,” High-End Devices, And New Razr’s in 2012
When Motorola introduced the Droid Razr, they didn’t just debut the device but their new Smart Actions software as well. Smart Actions is a much coveted app that gives users the ability to assign certain “triggers” when performing a specific action. For example, you can configure the app so that every time you plug-in your headphones, the Music app will instantly open. Or you could set it to lower the ringer volume during late night hours. Pretty smarty-pants stuff.
Well, according to Motorola’s Senior VP Alain Mutricy, Moto is planning to expand investment in Smart Actions, bringing the software to more devices next year. Pretty much a no brainer when it comes to future devices but we can’t help but wonder if Motorola will bring Smart Actions to current devices, given they’re running the latest version of Moto Blur. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.
Mutricy also mentioned the company’s plans to continue expanding their Razr line of handsets this year, possibly outside of the upcoming Razr Maxx. If true, I’m sure we can expect that leaked Razr with an HD display in the coming months.
For the rest of 2012, Motorola will remain focused the high-end US market (sorry, no entry level phones for you guys) and also pledged to introduce fewer devices moving forward. This no doubt comes as a relief to those chronically experiencing buyer’s remorse after a newly purchased handset was trumped only weeks later by a newer version (read: Bionic).
