Lenovo's revenue for Q2 takes a blow; Moto Z still on the rise

The Moto Z line, although tremendously different from the Moto X one, appears to have been a huge hit for Lenovo. While mobile shipments as a whole have remained mostly unchanged when compared to last year (361 million in Q2 2016 vs 359 million in Q2 2015), Lenovo is expecting their Moto Z handsets to sell a total of 3 million units during their first 12 months on the market. As a result, production of the smartphones has been increased to as many as 60,000 units each month.
The Moto Z saw similar demand compared to the iPhone.
Even more impressive is just how well the Moto Z performed during its launch. Lenovo says that the Moto Z was able to generate a whopping 1.06 million shipments during its first three months of being on the market, meaning that the handset saw similar demand to that of the iPhone (no specification on which exact model) with 1.12 million shipments during its first three months. That's a pretty incredible feat, and it likely means that the Moto Z line and their Moto Mods won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
