From the beginning of this year, the rumor mill has been speculating on the arrival of Motorola’s first foldable smartphone. Some renders and specs of the rumored Motorola RAZR foldable phone had also surfaced few months back. Fresh information shared by Lets Go Digital reveals that Motorola will be releasing in Europe in December this year or January 2020.
Citing information received from an anonymous source, the publication has claimed that the Motorola RAZR foldable phone will be carrying a price tag of 1500 euros in (~$1,665). The first foldable phone from Motorola will be featuring a large-sized flexible screen and it will look quite similar to its renders that have appeared in the past.
The Motorola RAZR 2019 can be folded like the yesteryear RAZR clamshell phone. Hence, it will be also featuring a small-sized display on the outside which can be used for checking notifications and incoming calls. There is no information available on the size details of both details.
Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X command hefty price tags of 2,000 euros and 2,300 euros, respectively. The reason behind the high pricing for both devices is that they are packed with topnotch specifications. However, the Motorola RAZR foldable phone will be a cheaper device because it won’t be featuring a high-end processor, claims the report. The first foldable phone from Motorola will include mid-range specs.
The Lenovo-owned company will be mainly focusing on the design of the phone. The idea behind it is to launch it as a compact foldable phone and not like a large tablet-like device like the Galaxy Fold and Mate X. Hence, it won’t be featuring a big battery.
The publication has claimed that the Motorola RAZR foldable phone will be launching first in the U.S. After the U.S. launch, it will be releasing in the Europe by December 2019 or January with a pricing of 1,500 euros (~$1,665). In the U.S., it will be costing $1,500.
