There were many signs that Motorola was planning to resurrect one of its classics and is now official. This is the new Motorola razr , a modernized version of that famous RAZR V3 of 2004, which maintains much of the design but instead of keys inside, we find a flexible pOLED screen, which folds down to reduce the Half the size of the smartphone.
Where they transmit what many of us imagined: that feeling of nostalgia where design is their main weapon , demonstrating that it is not necessary to make strange experiments when using flexible screens , and it is even possible to adapt old designs that were once a success.
Let's know the details of this new and attractive Motorola razr.
Motorola razr Specification
The resurgence of a classic
The Motorola razr rises to the recent trend of flexible screens and folding devices that have been appearing on the market, such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold , the Huawei Mate X and those that are to come . The difference is that here Motorola is betting on the design .
As we saw in the specifications table, the new razr will not seek to win in the specifications race , it will not be the most powerful on the market or with the best camera. Here the main thing is what they have achieved in terms of design by incorporating all the necessary components in a device less than 7 mm thick.
Of course the biggest novelty is its flexible screen that folds vertically , which brings us back that mythical "shell" design that allows you to fold the phone to reduce its size, even if this means increasing its thickness.
This flexible screen, known as 'Flex View', is a 6.2-inch pOLED touch panel in Cinemavision format , which is the same as a 21: 9 aspect ratio. Its resolution is nothing of the other world to stay in HD of 2142 x 876 pixels.

Motorola decided to take care of the details of this screen by adapting the design of the V3, so we will find that classic lower curvature. Although on the other hand we have the incorporation of a notch at the top , where is the front camera and the speaker.
On the outside of the device we have a second screen called 'Quick View' , which is a 600 x 800 pixel gOLED touch panel with a 4: 3 aspect ratio. This screen will not only serve to show notifications and the vision of the main camera, since Motorola has implemented an API for developers to take advantage and implement new functions, such as games or other possible utilities without having to open the device.

As for the design, Motorola says it maintained the same profile and thickness of the V3, we even found the bulky area at the bottom that serves to store all components. In this area, below the external screen, we also have the fingerprint sensor that will help us to deactivate the device.
The razr has a mixture consisting of resin in the lower back, while the upper part, where the screen and the main chamber is, is made of glass. As for the frame and the hinge, stainless steel was chosen, which gives rigidity and support to the device. In addition, according to Motorola, the device has a coating that makes it withstand splashing water .
the hinge is one of the most attractive elements of the new razr , since when the device opens, the hinge closes to keep the device rigid with the help of stainless steel sheets, which serve to Protect the screen and the device does not close until it exerts the necessary force. On the other hand, when the device is closed, the hinge opens, and the sheets are hidden in the body of the razor avoiding leaving space between them to protect the interior.
As I mentioned, the Motorola razr will not stand out for its specifications, and according to the company, the priority was the design and optimize energy consumption . For this reason we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 Octa-core processor at 2.2 Ghz. And contrary to what the rumors said, only a single version of the device will arrive with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of non-expandable internal storage.
As for the photographic section, the new razr has a main camera, which also serves for selfies when it is closed, of 16 megapixels with an aperture f / 1.7 and autofocus by laser and dual pixel, in addition to a dual LED flash. Inside, right at the top of the folding screen, we have the secondary 5 megapixel camera with f / 2.0 aperture.

The reason comes with Android 9.0 Pie without any customization layer , compatible with App Continuity and some of its famous 'Moto Actions', which are the movements that are made to activate the camera or flashlight without pressing anything. Since the razr will be launched until January, it is believed that the final version could arrive with Android 10, but it is not yet official.
Here it should be noted that due to the limited space to incorporate the components, the razr does not have a tray or bay for SIM Card, so it is configured to use a virtual SIM or eSIM , which will limit its availability to some operators, since Today, not everyone accepts this type of SIM.
On the connectivity side, the razr comes with a USB-C port that charges your 2510 mAh battery with 15W TurboPower fast charging , as well as dual band 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 . And if you were asked, no, it doesn't have a 3.5mm jack for headphones.
