It seems that Motorola took a year’s break to redefine what it wants to do with its line of clamshell foldable phones. It launched two already, but they all fell just short of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip phones.
New leak shows the outer display and fingerprint scanner of the new Motorola Razr
While Samsung has the foldable phone market in its pocket, it doesn’t mean that Motorola is out of the game. Thanks to Evan Blass, we have a new and damning leak that shows the device in all of its glory. We see some of the notable features that we can expect when this phone launches.
— Ev (@evleaks) May 24, 2022 He shared an eight-second-long GIF on Twitter showing the full device. In the GIF, we see that the phone will have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The person unlocks the phone and enters the interface. There’s not much information we can glean from the interface other than the Motorola wallpaper. The next big feature is revealed when the person closes the phone. We see the outer display for a few brief moments. It’s hard to tell just how large the outer display is because the edges aren’t illuminated. Regardless, it looks like the display is rather large compared to the size of the phone. This is good news because having a larger outer display is a lot more useful.
There’s not much more information about this phone at the moment. Recent reports pointed to this phone using the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. Other than that, this phone’s still a mystery. Samsung will launch its next clamshell foldable later on in the year, so we know that the next Razr will have some stiff competition.
