Motorola Has Bought Back the Razr That Now Can Fold in Half

Posted on

Lenovo’s Motorola may have a phone that will make some feel nostalgic, but after they see the price, they may also feel nauseous.

The company has resurrected the famous Razr and it now comes with a display that folds in half. The price tag? $1,500.

The phone will cost $1,499.99 and launches in January on Verizon in the U.S. Preorders open on Dec. 26th.

The phone has a full touch screen display with no keypad. When closed, the outside of the Razr has a 2.7-inch “Quick View” display that shows basic stuff such as text messages, emails, incoming phone calls, music controls, mobile payment cards, and camera view finder. You can also talk to Google Assistant by saying “OK Google” when the phone is shut.

The phone features a large 6.2-inch display that unfolds when you open the Razr. According to Motorola, the screen is protected using a “zero gap” hinge that allows the Razr to fold “completely flush with no gap.”

The phone was once a big seller in 2004 and 2005. Let’s see how well it fares now!
