The Motorola Aura (styled AURA) was a series of mobile phones from Motorola, which are part of the 4LTR line. The series was announced in October 2008 and was made available for purchase by December of that year. Although initially planned as a series, only one model, the Aura R1, was released. In 2009, three special editions of the Aura R1 followed: the Aura Diamond Edition, the Aura Celestial Edition, and another Aura Diamond Edition. The Aura was priced at US$200 and was made with materials such as stainless steel and sapphire. It was packaged in a wooden box.

The AURA phone featured a circular display with a 300dpi resolution. The user interface was specifically designed for this circular display, using the MotoMagx operating system from Motorola. The device featured a swivel-like opening mechanism that used Swiss-made gears made of Rockwell 50-55 hardened steel and 130 ball bearings.^[1]
