Motorola has unveiled the long rumored razr phone for 2020.
The phone matches the design language of the original RAZR V3, but with an inner surface that is one continuous 6.2″ HD (21×9) touchscreen that bends at the hinge, like Samsung’s Galaxy Fold. Just like the original RAZR V3, it has a “chin” that sticks out from the bottom half, and side keys located in the top half.
The top half also contains a large outer display and a 16-megapixel camera. The 2.7″ outer display is a touchscreen that lets users respond to notifications, take selfies, play music, use Google Assistant, and more. The flexible OLED main display has curved top and bottom edges, with a notch in the top.
The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 710 chip, which will be a two year old chip when the phones starts shipping to customers. It has 6 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, 2,510 mAh battery, NFC, and dual-band Wi-Fi.
It has a 5-megapixel selfie camera, although the main camera can also be used to take selfies using the outer display.
To keep the phone thin, the phone lacks both a 3.5mm audio jack and microSD memory card slot. It also relies on an eSIM instead of a physical SIM card.
It does have a USB-C port centered on the bottom that supports fast charging. USB-C razr earbuds are included, which are “professionally tuned” by Denon.
The new razr will be exclusive to Verizon in the US and cost $1500. Verizon is accepting pre-orders starting December 26th, with full availability on January 9th, 2020.
