Connecting the dots
What does the invite tell us
Motorola's Los Angeles event will feature the "highly anticipated unveiling of a reinvented icon," reads the company's invite. The invite teaser gif shows a device being folded and unfolded along with "An original unlike any other" text and the November 13 date. According to the invitation, it is pretty much clear that Motorola will unveil its iconic RAZR flip phone in a new avatar.
At a glance
Meanwhile, here's how the new RAZR will look like
The upcoming Motorola RAZR will feature a flip phone-like design like the original one but with a flexible OLED display on the inside. The external shell will house a secondary screen and a single camera while the internal display will have a small notch, presumably to pack a selfie snapper. On the rear, a fingerprint sensor will be concealed within the bat-wing Moto logo.
From the grapevine
The phone is rumored to come with mid-level internals
The RAZR is said to feature a 6.2-inch foldable display with a resolution of 876x2142 pixels. The external screen is likely to be an LCD screen for viewing notifications. The device will be powered by Qualcomm's mid-range Snapdragon 710 chipset, combined with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage and a 2,730mAh battery. Further, the device might run Android 10 out-of-the-box.
Information
Motorola RAZR to launch at $1,500
To recall, in August, a report had claimed that the device would launch in the US and Europe in December at $1,500 (roughly Rs. 1.07 lakh). Surely, the phone will be expensive, considering folding tech is still in its nascent phase.
