It was in November 2019 that Motorola officially presented its first foldable phone: the Razr. a shell-shaped model which inevitably reminded us of the company’s mythical V3. A few months later, in September 2020, we encountered the Motorola Razr 5G, which in addition to being compatible with next-generation networks, comes with improvements in cameras, memory and design.
Now, everything indicates that the third generation is on the way. 91mobiles in collaboration with @evleaks They published the first images of this future Razr, codenamed Maven and slated for release this summer. And beware, this is not the only important novelty that Motorola is working on, since the same media claims to be finalizing its first rollable phone codenamed Felix.
New folding and first winding, on the way
The Motorola’s third-generation flip phone It is already in the oven and 91mobiles has already given us some details about its design and some technical characteristics. This future device codenamed Maven would arrive in the summer with high-end specs and the same clamshell folding of previous models.
However, the design of the next Razr is said to be more like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip3, with some more square shapes and without the chin of its predecessor, so the fingerprint sensor would go to the power button. Initially, it is rumored to go on sale in China in late July or early August in two different colorways: Quartz Black and Tranquil Blue.
At the back, we observe the presence of a dual camera which, according to leaks, would have a 50 megapixel f/1.8 main sensor as well as a 13-megapixel wide-angle which would also fulfill the macro function. The front camera, meanwhile, would reach 32 megapixels and would be in a perforation of the FullHD + interior screen.
91mobiles account that Motorola had planned offer two versions of the phone– One with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and one with the yet unannounced Plus variant, but delays in delivering Qualcomm’s latest SoC could change their plans. It seems likely that it will come with two RAM options (8 or 12 GB) and two internal storage options (256 or 512 GB).
In addition, 91mobiles ensures that Motorola is also immersed in the early development stages of a roll-up device known internally as Felix. Unlike OPPO’s proposal, which extends horizontally, Motorola’s upcoming rollable phone allows the flexible, motorized display to unfold vertically by about a third of its size. At the moment there are no more details or prototype of this terminal.
