Lenovo's Motorola business to produce phones at quicker pace, less cost

From ComputerWorld: In the wake of lackluster earnings, Lenovo said it is working toward pumping out products faster from its newly acquired Motorola Mobility division.

Lenovo wants the Motorola team to shorten its product development time, CEO Yang Yuanqing said in an earnings conference call Thursday. "By the end of the life cycle the product is not competitive, particularly the Moto G, the Moto X," he said.

Yang wants the company to update its smartphones and add new models every six months. "In the future we will improve our product development cycle. So in every moment our product will be competitive," he said.

Following a streamlining of the business, Lenovo will also create a simpler handset portfolio, with fewer models.
