Here's our first look at the new Motorola RAZR 2019

21 January 2019
Thanks to images from a patent filing, we get our first look at the foldable RAZR 2019.

Sort by:

No way will I ever buy another phone for more than $400. Even over $300 is pushing it. For $1500, are you kidding me?

Honestly, buying and collecting the latest phones is a waste of time. It's like sports and politics, it's all a sham. We're just brainwashed to be consumers to buy more stuff we don't really NEED.

After losing my Saints bet yesterday because of the crooked refs which would have won me at least $100 because the Patriots did win, I realized maybe I should just stop watching and betting on sports like I no longer buy phones.

And I think Motorola has actually motivated me NOT to do it anymore if it's price as much as a MacBook. We all might as well get back into video games. I just turned 38 six weeks ago and really considering it.

We can control the outcome in a video game unlike in sports. We can buy consoles that can last 5-10+ years if we take care of it. Reading books, Netflix, movies, and video games for me now. Forget smartphones and sports that feel staged like the WWE.

The og RAZR V3 wasn't even all that to me. I bought a Motorola V600 six months before the RAZR was released in 2004. Both were practically the same phone. I eventually owned two black RAZRs two years later. The RAZR was just thinner and had a video recorder.

The RAZR was never a favorite of mine. The rock solid Nokia 3310 was a different story.

        Slowly and gradually, foldable phones will surface and morph into more futuristic designs in time to come.

          Kingslayer, 21 Jan 2019Cool but not for $1,500. I remember when the original R... moreThey've also invented the automobile so now you can retire your horse drawn carriage.
          What a joke.

            Patents rarely make it through to production so it’s fair to say this ‘could’ represent the new RAZR - reality may be very different though.

              AnonD-762416, 21 Jan 2019That is a lazy rushed "design". Just replace the main part ... moreSo you want another bland bezelless smartphone that is clearly not what the Moto Razr looked like? The Razr needs classic bezels like this.

                I guess the battery capacity will have to be shrunk down to fit in half of its body..

                  That is a lazy rushed "design". Just replace the main part with "screen" on the renders.
                  Bezels like it's 2001 is not going to sell.
                  Feels like they just rushed something out to not seem too much of a copy-cat. I mean, even the hinge makes zero sense. It can't fold like that with a flexible screen inside.

                        It is time for Lenovo to dump Motorola, and shift the development resources back to its internal smartphone team which is better than Motorola. Motorola is a money-losing enterprise for Lenovo.

                          Id like to see two variants, one with a 3.5inch screen, and one with full screen. My old man needs some buttons to press.

                            Making it a verizon exclusive is a problem lol.

                              Cool but not for $1,500.

                              I remember when the original RAZR came out in late-2004, it cost like $500. The following year, you can get it for FREE if you signed up for a new contract. The following year after that, you can get it for $50 as a prepaid. What a joke to spend that much.

                              That's why the mobile industry is declining. Bad trends like price gouging and saturation. The best time to buy a new phone is when it's no longer new at all. Buy it about a year after the release. I just barely got a PS3 phat that was barely used in its lifetime for $80. Works like a champ. Even the controllers still hold a charge. Makes me laugh that people paid $600 for it when it first came out.

                                    Got to be honest it folds in a better way to Samsung’s ...for size.

                                        U either forget or were too young to remember how people thought the whole move to touch screen and large screens were pointless when it began and yet here we r today. Foldable tech is the future whether u like it or not. Ofcse much like every other big innovation in form factor, it will take around 3-4 years before it becomes refined enough for seamless use.
