It seems that this year could be a big one for Motorola and their Razr range. Rumors have been circulating that the company is planning on releasing two models of their flagship foldable smartphones, including a “Lite” version and an additionalPlus model. Recently released unofficial renders of the Lite model show that the handset could have a dual camera alongside a small cover display and slim bezels.
Motorola is gearing up to launch the foldable devices around August and it has been suggested that the Plus model could have upgraded features such as a better display, a two-tone colour design, and improved overall specifications. On the other hand, the Lite model may be more focused on the affordability side with less powerful specs.
Motorola is a brand that has become a household name since its roots in the telecommunications industry. It rose to immediate fame with its line of Razr-styled feature phones in the early 2000s and its continued until the present day with an array of modern smartphone products. Its foray into the foldable market promises to bring the degree of quality that only Motorola can deliver.
The company’s latest products will potentially be spearheaded by renowned tipster @OnLeaks and MySmartPrice, both reportedly having a hand in providing images of a testing stage prototype. This makes the pair a source of reliable information when it comes to retail releases of the foldables, especially considering their reputable track record when it comes to leak detection.
The smartphone industry has long had devices with a lofty price tag and those that offer a more reasonable option. The Razr Lite could easily provide the bridge between the two, bringing the convenience and style of a foldable phone to a wider audience at a slightly lower cost. Samsung’s current foldables have yet to come with a price tag that will fit into the mid-range segment, which is why rumours of two Razr models at differing price appointments is an incredibly exciting prospect.
If the renders are anything to go by, the Razr Lite could end up being the platform for Motorola to gain a higher off-take in the contemporary foldable market, without having to sacrifice too much on the internal hardware. As details of the models and specs emerge in the coming months, we are sure to get a clearer understanding of what Motorola has in store.
