Motorola’s next iteration revived Razr The foldable phone will support 5G and will feature a 48-megapixel camera and a 6.2-inch screen, according to specifications leaked on Wednesday by the well-known Evan Blass filter.
The rumored sequel to the revival of the iconic phone was widely expected to hit North America in early September. When the 2019 Razr went on sale in the US in early February, it was the first vertically folding phone to hit the market.
Details in Blass’s tweet on Wednesday were not complete, but indicated that the phone would be 5G-ready. 5G networks are approximately 10 to 100 times faster than your typical cellular connection and are expected to provide the fundamental technology that will power autonomous cars, virtual and augmented reality, and telemedicine services, such as remote surgery. It will eventually connect everything from farm equipment to security cameras and of course your phone.
Blass’s tweet indicated that the phone will sport a robust 48-megapixel lens as the primary camera, as well as a 20-megapixel secondary camera. The phone will have 256 gigabytes of storage and will run Android 10, according to Blass’s leak.
The leak is in line with previous reports on the upcoming Razr. XDA developers reported in June that the Razr 2, its unofficial name, would introduce Qualcomm’s 5G-capable Snapdragon 765 processor along with a 2,845 mAh battery, compared to the 2,510 mAh battery found in the 2019 phone. .
Motorola’s original 2004 Razr phone was the best-selling phone of all time before Apple snatched the iPhone’s crown from it several years later.
Although the 2019 version was praised for its ingenious hinge mechanism and the engineering wonder it represented, the phone came under fire for lacking high-end specs given its $ 1,500 price tag.
Motorola did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
