Motorola will launch its third-gen Moto Razr clamshell foldable smartphone in 2022, a company executive confirmed recently. The device, which will compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 3, is confirmed to come with a powerful chipset, an improved design, and other flagship-grade specs.
Motorola released the first-gen Moto Razr, which was the first vertically foldable smartphone at the time, back in 2019. The Lenovo-owned company released the Razr 5G with improved cameras and the Snapdragon 765 SoC last year as its successor. And now, the company has confirmed to release the third iteration of the foldable in 2022.
Hence, we can expect Motorola to pack Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 series chipset inside the next Moto Razr. It will be a significant upgrade over the Snapdragon 765 chipset in the Razr 5G, which would offer flagship-grade performance in the third-gen Moto Razr.
However, if Motorola wants to improve the Razr, we think that it should make the upcoming model more repairable. The company should also focus on improving the quality of the display and the hinge of the device as many users faced issues with those in the first Moto Razr.
