Motorola Razr to feature two bigger screens

Design is the most important thing with the Razr. Heck, it's the main and perhaps only reason the RAZR V3 became so popular and sold 130M worldwide. Nobody cared about its specs. Back in 2004-2006, people just wanted a cool-looking flip phone that was thin and fits easily in their pockets. This Lenovo / TCL Razr 3 doesn't achieve this.
I'm fine that the Razr 3 isn't hot stuff. The leaked photo only pushes me to buy a Steam Deck instead. I'll keep my Razr 5G and Flip 3 until they break. Whether that's tomorrow or 8 years from now, I'm not buying another flip phone. And no way are people going to pay $1400 for a Razr. Foldable flip phones should only cost $700 at most.
I love the clamshell form factor though. Can watch NBA games on my Razr's cover display while I play GameCube on my Flip 3 in Flex mode. The versatility of Flex mode and that cover display gives me so much versatility viewing content.

Flip 3 is my emulation / multimedia device. Razr is my main phone. Can't use my Flip as my main because if I play GameCube games on it, it will kill battery life fast.

The leaked design without the chin and looking like a Flip 3 clone makes the Razr 3 look like a huge disappointment. The RAZR V3, V8, and V9 all had the iconic chin. It's no RAZR without it. That's like HTC 10 losing the grill speakers. That's Thanos and Jay Leno without a chin.
I was actually going to sell my Razr 5G because it does get laggy with its weak 765G. No wireless charging also annoys me. Then I saw the Razr 3 leak about 6 days ago and read it might retail for $1400 again. No, thanks. I'm happy spending only $500 for my Razr 5G which is the right price for it.
Lenovo is killing Motorola. This is not the Motorola I once knew. A Flip 3 rip-off. The 120 Hz, bigger displays, and Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 will only make the battery life shorter. The Razr 5G looks to be the last true RAZR. The Razr 3 is a Razr by name only.

Hope Folding phones won't be a thing in the future. Like it doesn't have any real purpose other then aesthetics and you'll have to pay triple the price.

For this kind of phone, I don't mind having a 6.7" screen, especially in a 21:9 aspect ratio like the Moto G100. What will worry me though is the chipset. For once, Snapdragon 778G+ makes better sense than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. If Motorola can wait a little longer, they might be able to get Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Also, I'd be happy to see wired Ready For Desktop Mode support in the new RAZR. That'll give Samsung an even more serious beating for not including DeX in the Z Flip3 in the first place.
