Motorola Looks To Redesigned Foldable Razr Phones To Bolster Its Fortunes, Aims Launch Before 2019 End

After missing its initial deadline earlier this year, Motorola is now reportedly looking to launch its foldable Razr phone before the end of 2019.

Motorola, a unit of Chinese consumer electronics giant Lenovo, has been working on a secretive foldable phone that's believed to revive the Razr brand. Unlike Samsung's Galaxy Fold or Huawei's Mate X, which fold outward from phones into tablets, Motorola's foldable is expected to fold inward like its popular Razr flip phones, according to a patent filing from 2017.

However, it should be noted that it is not clear when the foldable phone will hit the stores. The new Moto Razr is likely to focus on style above all, like its predecessors. This also means one shouldn't expect a huge battery to be built-in.

Past rumours have claimed that the device would sport the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC, 4 or 6GB RAM, 64/128GB storage and a 2,730 mAh battery.
