It’s known for a while that 2023 will be a significantly better year for foldable smartphones than the previous years, mainly because brand-new devices will be released and, in some cases, the range of models will be expanded. Motorola, for example, plans to release two clamshell foldables this year, up from only one in 2022. What these phones will be called is still up in the air, despite the fact that the business will unveil new foldable hardware on June 1.
Recently, there were some signs that the premium model might be known as the Razr 40 Ultra. However, it appears that Motorola may have chosen to brand the gadget the Razr+ in the US, contrary to what they previously reported.
The information is direct from Evleaks, who has previously provided numerous peeks of the two Razr clamshells in recent months. The source released some marketing photos and a video explaining the operation of the huge cover screen on the Razr+ in addition to providing some clarification on the naming scheme for the foldables in the US.
Supplementing past bits of hearsay about the Razr+’s huge cover screen, the video above demonstrates the way that one can do essentially anything without flipping the telephone open. This includes responding to a message or engaging in a game that takes up the entire screen. It’s hazy on the off chance that all games will actually want to profit from this structure factor, especially with the two cameras put in the base right corner.
In the meantime, considering the possibility of confusion, Motorola/Lenovo’s decision to sell the phone under two distinct names does not make much sense. In any case, this wouldn’t be new for Motorola, so they aren’t especially shocked by it.
This also suggests that the budget Razr, also known as the Razr 40 in worldwide business sectors, could go by Motorola Razr in North America. However, they can’t be too hopeful that the less expensive Razr clamshell will be available in the United States this year due to the fact that the company skipped the 2022 model entirely in the region.
