One has to admit it was inevitable-- advances in foldable displays have lead Motorola to bring back the Razr flip-phone, if in the shape of a 2019 Android smartphone featuring 2004 stylings.
The flip-phone format of the 2019 Razr means the device neatly sidesteps the UI issues associated with foldable phones such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Essentially, the 2019 Razr is a 6.2-inch smartphone (if with a taller-than-usual OLED display) users can fold into something half the size. The display even folds flat, making it superior to the Galaxy Fold in that aspect. It also includes a small display on the front cover, allowing one to easily check notifications and the like, and yes, holding up on calls is as easy as snapping the device shut.
Moving on to internals, the slimline design of the Razr means it fails to match flagship rivals in terms of specs. In fact, it carries a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor with 6GB RAM, 128 GB storage and a 2510mAh battery, while the cameras are 16MP on the back and 5MP on the front. The phone also lacks 5G connectivity, something that might hurt a device featuring a $1500 pricetag.
Motorola is still to announce when the 2019 Razr hits the market.
