Motrola, in a move to save money, has decided to out source all devices that retail for $150 or below according to Chinese publication United Daily News. That’s over 40 million devices a year. Instead of having to build a factory, pay workers, buy components, and whatever other logistical nightmares are associated with building something in China, the company decided instead to simply slap their brand onto something that was built by someone else. The chips inside those devices will be made by MediaTek, which is known for making ultra cheap, yet reliable chips. Fact: Almost all the Chinese clones use MediaTek chips.

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.
