Moto mobile sales down six per cent year on year

Shipped 8.3 million handsets in Q2.

The US handset firm is undoubtedly on the up again after its 'lost years' between 2007 and 2009, when Razr sales fell off a cliff.

But this hasn't prevented a hiccup here. The 8.3 million figure is down from 8.5m in Q1. Meanwhile the $1.7bn revenue figure is down 6 per cent year on year.

Encouragingly though, Moto is improving its high-end sales, with 2.7m smartphone sales – that's up 400,000 on the prior quarter.

Its line-up consists of 12 such devices, including the Droid and Droid X, which is where the company's primary focus is at the moment.

According to Gartner, Motorola is ranked sixth in the smartphone market with a three per cent share.
