Motorola are bringing the Razr back and it’s going to have a foldable display.

Friday, February 1st, 2019

The foldable handset hype has been circulating for some years now. With one foldable handset already on the market to buy and an array of others lined up for this year, it looks to be that a foldable phone isn’t a far-off concept any longer.

One manufacturer joining the race to market a foldable screen design is Motorola, with hints suggesting that their iconic Razr design could be the basis for their foldable flagship. With its unique fashionable clamshell design, Razr became identified as a “fashion” product and an iconic cell phone in the late 2000s. Making a major impact on the market, the Razr was one of the best selling flip phones, so it doesn’t surprise us that this is Motorola’s angle into the fierce fight for the top spot in foldable for 2019.

2018 saw Motorola’s owner Lenovo showcased some innovate bendable display technology. At MWC 2018 we also saw Lenovo’s CEO hint that they are indeed bringing Moto Razr back. He went on to suggest that Motorola’s focus would be on foldable smartphone technology in the coming months. Put the two together and it’s no surprise that the internet is being flooded with Motorola Foldable Razr render.

One of which is from Tech Configurations who have created a Motorola RAZR V4 concept showcasing 3 display design one 6inch primary fordable display, one 2.5inch exterior display to use in the folded model, and a 0.75inch multipurpose display with an integrated fingerprint scanner. They’re suggesting that the small display can also adapt to the user interface and apps providing shortcuts to most important functions. Like in the messaging application the small display would show the smiley for easy access.

The speculation of a foldable razor has been supported by a recent report published in the The Wall Street Journal. The article confirmed that Lenovo’s foldable screen will be the tech housed in the revived Razr and we should expect to see a price tag of roughly $1,500.

Further support for the rumoured foldable design comes in the form of patent designs that were filed on December 17th 2018 and shows a device with a folding screen on the inside, alongside a second smaller screen on the outside.

6 Facts you need to know about the Motorola Moto G6

Wednesday, April 25th, 2018

Motorola have recently announced a stream of new devices, from the larger than life Moto G6 Plus, to the small but perfectly formed Moto E5.

Today we’ll be looking at their flagship release, the Motorola Moto G6.

Here’s 6 things you need to know about the Motorola Moto G6:

1. High end design, mid-range price.

Motorola really do offer a high end aesthetic within the Motorola Moto G6, without the price tag to match. The curved glass back and aluminium sides feel similar to the Samsung Galaxy S7. The Gorilla Glass construction also provides you a decent level of protection when on the go. The device also uses a USB-C port rather than the dated microUSB seen in last year’s models.

2. Display
The G6 follows the on-trend 18:9 screen ratio, which allows the 5.7-inch display to fit into a shell no wider than last year’s 5-inch Moto G5. This taller, more narrow screen also makes for great widescreen TV viewing and gaming opportunities.

3. Camera
The dual rear cameras are a nice addition to this mid range handset. The main rear sensor is 12 megapixel, and offers a wider f/1.8 aperture for better photos in low light. The second sensor acts in a similar way to those found on the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, to create shallow depth of filled effects. You’ll also enjoy some new features, including Landmark recognition and object recognition.

4. Improved Audio

Motorola have moved the Speaker on the Moto G6 to the front edge making the sound much harder to muffle. The addition of Dolby Audio also makes the audio experience much more enjoyable.

5. Specifications and battery life.

Running on Qualcomm’s latest mid range processor, the Snapdragon 450 and 3GB RAM the G6 is a step up from the cheaper Moto G6 Play. The Snapdragon 450 uses 14nm transistors, which is half the size of the Snapdragon 430. This offers a more efficient processor and longer batter life. There’s a 3,000 mAh battery and the internal storage has also been upped from last year too.

6. Price

The Motorola Moto G6 offers similar features to those found on the iPhone X and Samsung’s latest Galaxy devices, so you may have been preparing yourself for a price tag to match. However, the Motorola Moto G6 is priced under £220, which is almost unbelievable.
