We've recently heard some rumblings that a new version of the Motorola Razr foldable is in the works, and today it looks like we're getting our first look at the device.
A new image purportedly shows a 5G Motorola Razr foldable both open and closed. The leak comes from Evan Blass, who adds that the new device is codenamed "Odyssey".
The overall design of this device looks fairly similar to the first Motorola Razr foldable that launched on Verizon earlier this year. It's got a tall, foldable main display with a notch and a big chin that's reminiscent of the OG Razr flip phone. When closed, there's a large outer display and a main camera below it.
A previous leak from Blass also spilled some spec info for this "Odyssey" from Motorola. The new Razr is tipped to include a 6.2-inch main display, just like the first Razr. The storage is said to be 256GB, double that of the previous model, and it'll also have 5G connectivity, something the first Razr foldable lacks.
Another area where the new Razr will be upgraded is cameras. This new Razr is said to have a 48MP main camera and a 20MP selfie cam, up from the 16MP main and 5MP selfie cameras found on the first Razr foldable.
Past rumors have also suggested that the new Razr will have a bit more RAM, a newer Snapdragon 765 processor, and a larger battery.
Because they're still utilizing new technology, foldables are pricier than most traditional smartphones on the market, and so they're still kind of a niche thing for folks who like to be early adopters rather than the mass market. We're glad to see companies like Motorola continue working to improve foldables and making the devices better, though, and this new Razr looks like it could be a solid improvement over the first model.
