Motorola has been brilliant.
Blade Razr is the most classic model to witness the glorious history of Motorola. For the 80-90 generation, V3 is an indelible memory.
Razr V3 was launched in 2014, and its ID design seemed to be very technological at the time. It was made of aluminum-magnesium alloy casing, and the lines were smooth. The most prominent is its ultra-thin body design, which is only 13mm thick. . With its outstanding design and outstanding configuration, this equipment, which costs up to $700, has sold 130 million units worldwide in four years.
It can be said that the name of the world’s coolest mobile phone belongs to Razr V3 for a long time. If you have a Razr V3 at that time, it is really a very good thing…
Of course, after Motorola’s fall, we all know that the mobile phone business that has been dumped several times is now marginalized, and Razr can only stay in our memory.
But now, Razr is back in another way.
maybe the most natural folding screen design?
In fact, the news of the new Razr has been circulating for half a year. If you pay attention to it, you should already know that it uses a folding screen design. This is nothing new in 2019.

Folding screens were questioned at the beginning of the world, “low practicability”, “folding for folding”, etc., and several current folding screen phones have not yet been fully marketed.
This 2019 Motorola Razr design idea, different from “folding the tablet into a mobile phone”, it almost completely re-enacted the original appearance of the clamshell machine. When you fold, it’s a small, retro-flip flip phone, and when you open it, you get a modern 6.2-inch screen with a screen ratio of 21:9.
Folded screen, Motorola calls it the Quick View display, which can be used to display notifications, controlsCenter, self-timer, etc., two screens can also switch to display App content.

Of course, in keeping with the original Razr (and of course technical limitations), the new version of Razr also retains a raised “chin” that integrates the fingerprint recognition module.

From the media’s point of view, the 2019 Motorola Razr has a high degree of completion in ID design and workmanship. When the new RAZR is combined, its thickness is almost 14mm. As seen in the first picture, it The size is basically the same as the v3 of the year. engadget’s Reviews specifically mentioned: “When folded up, the upper and lower sides of the new RAZR screen are basically close together, and you can’t see any gaps from the middle.

While the most prone to the hinge on the folding screen, the new Razr uses two small hinges and a set of sliding mechanisms. The advantage of this is that it reduces the wrinkles that are almost inevitable in the folding of flexible screens. It is more integrated after being expanded.
Samsung’s folding screen mobile phone Galaxy Fold has been “recalled” due to quality problems, and the release time of Huawei Mate X is also delayed. In the case that the process still has a lot of room for improvement, the quality is obviously the current stage. The most important thing to pay attention to when folding a screen.
In this regard, Motorola said, they have confidence in the durability of this display,” which means they can reach the average life of their smartphones >; For the problem that the folding screen is easily scratched, Motorola also said that the new Razr uses a special coating.
Re-engrave is a favorite game in recent years, clothes, shoes, game consoles, etc., the classic re-enactment, full of feelings will make people willing to pay for “outdated” products. But the 2019 Motorola Razr is not a simple re-enactment. It is a retro clamshell design, adding a flexible screen that reflects the technological influence, and realizes the combination of retro and technology.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this may be the most natural design of the current folding screen mobile phone. The folding screen mobile phone is no longer like a weird, undefined new variety.
However, the folding screen always has a technical problem, and the quality of the new Razr is still in the actual test after the launch.
The configuration is not high, but it is not “expensive”
Compared with the innovative ID design, the 2019 Motorola Razr configuration is a bit lacking.
The screen size of the 6.2-inch OLED main screen is 2142 x 876. Considering the display characteristics of the OLED, this number will be further discounted; the secondary screen is a 2.7-inch OLED display with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The resolution is 800 x 600.

Processor, this 2019 Motorola Razr uses a locating mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor, 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM memory combination, limited by internal space, battery capacity of only 2510mAh battery, charging specification is 15W , the factory default Android 9 Pie, as for 5G, don’t think about it.
The camera specifications are not like the 2019 machine. The rear is a 16 million f 1.7 lens, and the front is 5 megapixels. Although the main camera also supports functions such as night scene mode, it is still today. Some are sour.
The motorcycle official said that the 710 instead of the 8 series was chosen for battery life and cooling; the same is true for the camera section, which cannot be inserted into a larger camera module in a limited volume. In short, fish and bear’s paw can’t have both. Cool screen design, with practical high configuration, only two at this stageChoose one.
But such a design, the cost is obviously not low. 2019 Motorola Razr will be released in January 2020, starting at US$1,499, or about RMB 10515.3. In addition, the aircraft is currently only available overseas, and there is no domestic version.
The resurrection blade is not perfect. The configuration is an obvious problem. The bangs and the wide border seem to have room for improvement. However, at this moment, we can still use this “replicated” device. Seeing a possible development direction for folding screens in the future. The characteristics of flexible screens that can be folded may not only make “big and small”, but also make small changes, even simple and cool, are all directions that can be considered. It is said that Samsung will launch a similar vertical next year. The screen folds the phone.
Compared with Huawei’s and Samsung’s folding screen phones, the 2019 Motorola Razr is much cheaper; but it seems a bit too expensive compared to the “regular” flagship. Then the question is coming. This bowl is full of “cold rice”. Do you feel incense?
