Motorola has recently broken the delay on its first foldable smartphone, the Motorola Razr. And now, it’s time to start talking about its likely successor.
In fact, Motorola has filed a new patent at the US USPTO and WIPO for a particular foldable device. As you can see from the drafts relating to the patent that we added bellow. The smartphone would integrate a foldable display and will have sensitive sides to the user’s touch. According to what is described by the patent, the lateral touch band would consist of several sensors capable of associating 20 different functions. In correspondence with the recognition of 20 different gestures.
Motorola Razr 2: foldable phone with side touch sensors
The recognition of gestures would be available even when the device is closed. As you can see from the images attached to the patent. Motorola would also like to integrate a fingerprint sensor into the display.

Clearly, the fact that Motorola has received the publication of the patent that it has filed does not imply that it will automatically use it to make the Razr 2. This is only a hypothesis by LetsGoDigital. Currently, there is no evidence showing Motorola’s interest in making a new foldable device. For more information on the Motorola patent just described, we suggest you consult the complete document, available at this address.
Motorola Razr specifications
It is worth to mention that the Motorola Razr has arrived with a 6.2-inch (2142 x 876 pixels) 21:9 Cinemavision foldable pOLED screen with an external 2.7-inch (600 x 800 pixels) 4:3 gOLED screen and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 Protection.

It runs Android 9.0 (Pie).
Regarding the photographic compartment, the phone boasts a 16MP rear camera with dual-LED FLASH, Sony IMX519 sensor with f/1.7 aperture, 1.22um pixel size, EIS, Dual Pixel autofocus (AF) and Laser AF and a 5MP front-facing camera with f/2.0 aperture.
It has a fingerprint sensor and supports Splash-proof with water-resistant nanocoating. It also has a Bottom-ported speaker, 4 mics and a 2510mAh battery with 15W TurboPower fast charging.
Those specs aren’t worth half the asking price,do they really expect ppl to fork up 1500$ for nostalgia alone?😀
SMH @John Doe that OS is one of the top 3 Android OSs of the year. Whatchu on about not worth.
This phone is a joke lol.
Have you seen the spiritual successor Motorola made with a British OEM? I think it was actually a subsidiary of Motorola. It was more similar to the original Razr in terms of tech (i.e. not a smartphone), but also a piece of garbage like you would expect an old school flip phone to be in modern times. Nothing like a Razr. Clearly someone at Motorola figured that out. Now we have a better phone with better quality components that actually looks like a Razr… And still nope.
I love this thing. I’d pay at least $300 for it. But on Android 9, I doubt I’ll still feel comfortable buying it by the time it drops more than $200 off its current price.
$1,500.00 dollars for an old school phone with old school updates and hardware for the future year 2020……… unbelievable 😱 …. the hardest thing about this phone is it’s out of reach as far as affordability, I gave up dollars, cents, and ALL my lint and still couldn’t afford to buy one. That being said it’s a beautiful phone with an Ugly price tag 😔
Nice but not impressed, still looks like the old phone, definitely not $1500 maybe three if that!!!
Since my microTAC.. motorola long killed by mororoKa . Like texas ti59 .. hp41cx etc… they all die and now its huAREwe and sams0n and cherry . Bye bye tech.
