Motorola to launch its OG foldable smartphone as a smartphone

Motorola is currently preparing to launch the third iteration of its OG foldable phone, the Moto Razr, as a foldable smartphone. The Motorola Razr 3 with a foldable screen was teased in December last year and some of its specifications have been tipped by a couple of reports. These reports suggest that the Motorola Razr 3 will have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC under the hood, a 50 MP primary shooter on the back, Android 12 out-of-the-box, etc.

The Motorola Razr 3 was teased by Chen Jin, General Manager of Lenovo Mobile Business Group, via a post on Weibo in December. In his post, Jin stated that the Motorola Razr 3 would have more advanced chip computing power, better human-machine interface, and of course a more atmospheric appearance as compared to the older versions.

According to reports, the Motorola Razr 3 is going to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset which is going to be paired with a 6 GB, 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM along with 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB of onboard storage.

A Full HD AMOLED display with a 20: 9 aspect ratio and a 120 Hz refresh rate is possible with the phone's 20: 9 aspect ratio and a 120 Hz refresh rate. The Motorola Razr 3 is expected to support NFC and ultra-wideband UWB and an unnamed secondary display.

Other reports suggest that the Motorola Razr 3 will have two cameras on the back -- a 50 MP OV 50 A Omnivision sensor and a 13 MP ultra-wide angle and macro sensor. The selfie camera on the phone might be a 32 MP Omnivision sensor. The 50 MP sensor on the rear might be a passive part of the main sensor and cameras will be able to record ultra-HD videos at 60 fps and also record full-HD at 120 fps.

The Motorola Razr 3 is expected to be available later this year and is expected to be up for sale by June 2022, according to reports. Due to the global chip shortage, Motorola might delay the launch.
