When? 8 years ago? Yes, Motorola is "known" as in "yes, I recognize that name", but they definitely don't have a "strong brand" outside of US anymore. Even in US, it was becoming quite weak before the Moto X/G (when it grew a little more because of Google's rebranding and advertising money). I've actually gone into an Orange store last week and asked them about whether they are bringing Moto G. The store clerk looked at me confused and said "Motorola? We haven't sold Motorola phones in years". Also, the Touchwiz thing wasn't really speculation on the author's part.
