Lenovo exec confirms Motorola Razr 3 foldable is coming

The Motorola Razr was part of the first wave of foldable phones back in 2019, being the first to offer a clamshell form factor akin to the classic Razr feature phones. Motorola would follow up with the Razr 5G in late 2020, but Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip line had stolen its thunder by then.

Now, Lenovo executive Chen Jin has revealed on Weibo that a third-generation Motorola Razr foldable is in the works. According to machine translation, the new foldable phone will have improved power, a tweaked interface, and a better appearance. It also seems like the phone could launch in China first. Check out the machine-translated screenshot below.

Motorola will be entering a more competitive foldable phone landscape with its third-generation effort. For one, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3 comes in at just $999 and offers features like water resistance, a tougher screen, and flagship power. Huawei has also just announced its ~$1,400 P50 Pocket, bringing a large battery for a clamshell foldable and a quirky camera setup.

Hopefully, the Motorola Razr 3 (or whatever the foldable is called) has flagship silicon, a much bigger battery than earlier Razr devices, and a tougher foldable screen. What would you like to see from the next Razr foldable? Let us know via the poll below.
