Lenovo has opened two Moto Concept Stores for its mobile phone brand in Metro Manila as part of its Philippine “full-throttle” expansion.

Both run by smartphone retailer MemoXpress, the stores are in the Cyberzone areas of SM North Edsa Annex and SM Megamall.

“The Philippines is a very important market for Moto,” says Lenovo Mobile Business Group Philippines country manager Dino Romano.

Lenovo says it aims to become the No. 3 player in the global smartphone market through expanding its Moto line across emerging markets, including the Philippines. Currently the fastest-growing smartphone market in the region, the Philippines had 3.5 million smartphone shipments in the first quarter of last year, according to the latest report of the International Data Corporation (IDC).

Both Moto Concept Stores carry the latest Moto smartphones.
