Moto Razr is back – The most sensible folding phone that flips
Moto Razr is the second iconic mobile in history, after Nokia 3310. It redefined mobile design and back then, every flip mobile wanted to be a Razr. The entry of Smartphones marked the exit of flip mobiles. Then along came the folding smartphones. The idea of a folding smartphone was to double the size of a regular-sized smartphone and convert it into a large table. While the idea is good, I wanted a mobile that will fold into half the size of a regular smartphone. Check out my Tweet from back in February, when the first foldable smartphones were announced.
It looks like Motorola read that tweet, (I would like to belive so) and launched the Moto Razr from 15 years ago and made a Flip Smartphone. It makes the best use of Folding display technology. Moto Razr Flips and folds into a pocketable size. When unfolded it becomes a regular large size smartphone with no crease on the fold. This is magical!
