The new Motorola RAZR is announced as an expensive folding smartphone with a flexible screen

In 2004, one of the most emblematic Motorola phones was made official, which was the Razr V3, a folding terminal that barely had a 2.2-inch color TFT screen, a T9 keyboard and the particular folding design that surely you already have. comes to mind.

To continue with the line of succession -or to renew it, rather-, the company has launched the new Razr, a mid-range smartphone that preserves the essence of the Razr V3, but is presented as an attractive purchase option today because it is the new competitor that comes to face the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X, since it also has a flexible screen. This has already been announced and we expand on the features and specifications it boasts below.

All about the new Motorola Razr

As we have been saying, the 3 Moto Razr V2004 was offered with a 2.2-inch diagonal screen. Well, here we find one of the biggest differences of this old model with the Motorola Razr of 2019, which is what we are talking about, of course. This one has a panel almost three times the size of its ancestor; 6.2 inches, to be exact. The technology of this is pOLED and the resolution that it is capable of producing is 2,142 x 876 pixels, which means that the screen-to-body ratio is 21: 9 (Cinemavision format).

Unlike the Galaxy Fold and Mate X, this new mobile brings an aesthetic and a flexible screen quite different from these, more than anything because it is especially elongated, which means that we are practically facing a terminal similar to the newly named Razr V3 when it is folded. Another feature of the panel that makes it more unique is its elongated notch and the slight curvatures at its upper and lower ends.

Continuing with the theme of the screen, it should be mentioned that there is another secondary that comes out more when it is bent. It is used to display notifications and perform more limited actions and tasks, but it still has various utilities. The size of it is small, as expected: it stays at 2.7 inches and its resolution is 600 x 800 pixels (4: 3), while it is gOLED technology.

The Snapdragon 710 is the SoC chosen to power the smartphone. This powerful chipset is mid-range and can reach a maximum clock speed of 2.2 GHz, as well as having eight cores and being paired with an Adreno 616 GPU. It is also supported by a 6 GB RAM memory and a space of 128GB internal storage. The battery that makes all these parts and components move correctly is 2,510 mAh capacity, a figure that seems to fall short today, taking into account that the norm that new smartphones follow is to be supplemented with a battery of 4,000 mAh. However, the 15 watt fast charge is available which ensures charging it in about an hour. from vacuum to full.

Regarding the photographic section, it should be mentioned that In the back only a 16 MP resolution camera sensor is available. This one has an aperture f / 1.7, Dual Pixel technology and laser for autofocus and a dual LED flash. The front camera is 5 MP and has an f / 2.0 aperture.

Other features include support for eSIM, 4G LTE connectivity, a USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac, and factory installed Android Pie OS. Unfolded it measures 72 x 172 x 6,9mm, while folded it measures 72 x 94 x 14mm. The weight of the phone is 205 grams. It should be noted that it does not have a 3.5mm jack headphone port, which many will regret.
