Motorola has released teasers for its next major smartphone – presumably the 5G-upgraded second-gen version of its foldable Razr flagship – which the company will announce on September 9 and promises will “recreate the smartphone experience.”
Although there is not a lot of information in the teaser, the short clip appears to be a side view of a foldable phone (similar in design to the 2020 Razr) again. If that wasn’t enough evidence, Motorola also seems to be using the same font as its last year’s Razr invitations, which placed it with the similar tagline of “You’ll flip.”
Rumors of a refurbished 5G Razr have been swirling for months. It is rumored to have a larger 6.2-inch screen, an improved 48-megapixel camera, and overall improved specs (with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, and a 2,845mAh battery – all improvements over the original). It is presumably also set up on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 processor, which would also enable 5G support on the new phone, according to XDA Developers.
The original foldable Razr was a much hyped but ultimately loud attempt to recreate the classic phone. While the overall design and folding screen were interesting, the $ 1,499 phone was held in high esteem due to a very high price, poor battery life, poor camera, a cracking hinge and a “clumsy” screen. We will probably find out on September 9th if Motorola has managed to reduce these flaws on the new model.
