Lenovo has completed its acquisition of Google's Motorola Mobility unit, originally inked for $2.91 billion.

Announced on last Thursday, the PC maker said the deal is now complete, and adding the Motorola brand to Lenovo's portfolio has positioned the company "as the world's third largest maker of smartphones."

Originally revealed in January this year, the Chinese firm snapped up Motorola Mobility for $2.91 billion ― a steal considering Google purchased the unit for $12.5 billion only two years previously. When announced, Google said it would retain the "vast majority" of patents acquired when the tech giant bought Motorola Mobility, but Lenovo will have the option to license patents.

Now complete, the deal hands over Motorola Mobility smartphones including the Moto X, Moto G, Moto E and the DROIDTM series, as well as 2,000 leftover patents and a number of patent cross-license agreements.

Motorola will act as a wholly-owned subsidiary, retaining almost 3,500 employees, and will remain in headquartered in Chicago. Lenovo says it expects Motorola to become profitable in four to six quarters.

The total purchase price at close was approximately $2.91 billion, including approximately $660 million in cash and 519,107,215 shares of Lenovo stock, with an aggregate value of $750 million. The remaining $1.5 billion will be paid to Google by Lenovo in the form of a three-year promissory note.
