Over 10 million Motorola smartphones were sold in Q4 2014

Now a Lenovo company, Motorola Mobility has had a pretty good quarter in Q4 2014. According to Lenovo, more than 10 million Motorola smartphones were sold around the world during the quarter - a 118% increase over Q3 2013. This is the first time when Motorola hits the 10 million sales mark (when it comes to smartphones, not mobile phones in general).

While Lenovo doesn't say which Motorola handsets were the most successful last year, we already know that the Moto G takes the crown, being Motorola's best-selling smartphone to date.

Overall, Moto's handsets added $1.9 billion to Lenovo's quarterly revenues. However, Motorola Mobility is not yet profitable, but Lenovo says it's "on track to be profitable within 4-6 quarters."

Lenovo reaffirmed that, together with Motorola, it's now the world's third largest smartphone maker, grabbing about 6.6% of the global market share. The company also said that it sold 3.7 million tablets in the last quarter, up 9% year-on-year.
