Edison Group has recently signed an agreement with the international mobile brand Motorola to assemble smartphones in Bangladesh. 

As per the agreement, Motorola will use Edison Group's mobile factory, Edison Industries, to locally manufacture new handsets. Edison Group will also act as Motorola's partner in Bangladesh. Previously, the online shopping platform Salextra has been the national distributor of Motorola in Bangladesh. 

Jakaria Shahid, Managing Director of Edison Group; Aminur Rashid, Chairman and CEO of Edison Group; Abu Sayem, Head of Sales of Edison Group; and Hariom Kumar Mishra, Business Head of Motorola India, were present during the signing ceremony, alongside other senior executives of Edison Group and representatives from both organisations.

During the agreement signing, Motorola also unveiled two new smartphones to their lineup: the E32 and E22s. 

Motorola E32 will feature a 6.5-inch HD+ punch-hole display, 90Hz refresh rate, 5000 mAh battery, 2.3 GHz octa-core processor, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB memory that is expandable up to 1 TB. This phone will also have a 50 MP main, 2 MP depth and 8 MP front camera setup. 

Motorola E22s will feature a similar 6.5-inch HD+ punch-hole display, 90Hz refresh rate, 5000 mAh battery, 2.3 GHz octa-core processor and the same RAM and memory specs as E32. However, the E22s will feature a 16 MP PDAF rear camera instead. 

Both the E32 and E22s will be available in two colours: Eco Black and Arctic Blue. Motorola E32 is priced at Tk. 15,999 and Motorola E22s is priced at Tk. 14,999.
