Third Generation Motorola Phones Work

Motorola is currently working on a new version of its Razr foldable smartphones. The post is from Chen Jin. The general manager of the Lenovo Mobile Business Group in China describes how the company has been quietly working on a new addition to its lineup of foldable phones.

Motorola first two modern foldables were mediocre phones with hefty price tags. Lenovo is in charge of Motorola smartphone business.  The post mentions that the phone will have a better processor, better interface, and a tweaked appearance. At this early stage, though, it’s hard to say how different the third-gen device will be from the last one. The second-gen Razr was more of a spec bump that added 5G, rather than a marked improvement from the original Razr foldable announced in 2019.

The third attempt at a foldable will be a charm its previous two attempts have been hard to recommend, even before Samsung released the exceptional Z Flip 3 for $1,000. The company is still providing Android updates for them makes it seem like Motorola hasn’t given up on Razr revival.

One translation of Jin’s post indicates that it could be released in China first, which is backed up by the announcement appearing on Weibo. The company will be keeping our eyes out for more details or an announcement of this phone to see if it’s truly a notable upgrade or just another iteration of a forgettable foldable.
