The RAZR, arguably Motorola’s most iconic phone, was revolutionary in its design, both in its overall appearance as well as its loyalty to the dying flip phone form factor.
According to Slashgear.com, given that it seems fashionable to revive iconic phones these days, there is a chance, that the RAZR phone will get its own comeback. But it might not be in the form that you’d expect.
So who’s to stop Motorola from riding on that wave of nostalgia? In fact, Lenovo, now owners of the brand, last year hinted at the possibility of the RAZR’s return to the market. CEO Yang Yuanqing, however, never went so far as to confirm it. According to TechRadar, however, he did, however, drop hints that there might be more.
Specifically, the Motorola RAZR of 2018, or 2019, might be one of the first examples of a foldable phone, when such phones arrive. It may not look like the dream foldable tablet/phone that many imagine when they hear those words, but it does come close to one of Samsung’s patents, so it might not exactly look too alien.
That said, Lenovo/Motorola will face a bigger design and engineering problem. The RAZR phone was famous for its ultra slim design. A foldable display that folds completely flat like that is virtually non-existent, making this incarnation of the Motorola RAZR less likely.
