Lenovo on Tuesday announced its third fiscal quarter report where the company claimed a net profit of $253 million (roughly Rs. 1,559 crores), a slight drop from the year-ago quarter. The Chinese giant also revealed that Motorola, now acquired by Lenovo, sold more than 10 million smartphone, up 118 percent from a year ago in the same quarter. Additionally, Motorola has announced that the Moto X (Gen 2) reached 1 million pre-orders in China since being introduced last week.

Lenovo however did not reveal breakdown of Motorola handsets sold in last quarter. Considering that Motorola's Moto E, Moto G, Moto X, Moto G (Gen 2), and Moto X (Gen 2) received tremendous response in various markets, we can expect these handsets played a major role. Additionally, Google launched the Motorola-made Nexus 6 that must have been a part of the 10 million figures.

In addition, Lenovo also revealed the combined shipments of both (Lenovo and Motorola) resulted in company reaching 6.6 percent global market share, behind Samsung and Apple.

Commenting on Motorola's performance, Yuanqing Yang, chairman and CEO of Lenovo said, "Motorola is already a global strength: for the first time it sold more than 10 million units in the quarter and it is now re-entering the China market."

Last week, Motorola India announced that it sold 3 million Moto devices in 10 months that include the Moto E, Moto G, Moto X, Moto G (Gen 2), Moto X (Gen 2), and the Moto 360 smartwatch. The company also revealed plans to set up exclusive customer experience zones in few cities. To recall, Motorola India back in November announced that it sold 2.5 million Moto smartphones in India.

In other news, Motorola China has announced that the Moto X (Gen 2) that was launched last week alongside the Moto G (Gen 2) LTE and Moto X Pro has received 1 million pre-orders. The company in its Weibo post claimed that the figures were as of February 1.
