Xudong said that all Motorola smartphone, launching this year will come embedded with fingerprint sensor, a feature that was absent for the brand's smartphone that were launched last year.

Following up on Lenovo's recent announcement, Xudong added that Moto branding will be used on high-end smartphone, while the company's Vibe series will target budget smartphone segment. Overall Lenovo plans to launch more than 15 smartphone under the Moto and Vibe series.
