Motorola finally announced that it is now offering its Chinese consumers the choice to use a different default search engine on Android-powered Motorola devices. Consumers in China can use the well-liked Baidu Chinese search engine as a default option as a substitute of Google Search, Motorola said on Thursday in union with the opening of its SHOP4APPS application marketplace. In the face of the tensions involving China and Google’s censorship, Motorola told Reuters that it’s not unusual for it to trade the default search engine on phones for more commonly used engines, depending on the country the phone is selling it.
