Motorola Razer is back with a modern flavor and folding screen

In an effort to restore the glory, Motorola has re-launched one of its most famous phones, the Riser, the original version was first introduced in 2004, but here it was re-launched in an attractive modern form and folding screen.

The original Razer phone consisted of two parts, a metal keyboard and a second screen (non-touch) and connected to a hinge that allows the phone to fold into a smaller size.

The original Razer has been famous since its first model, and was owned by celebrities such as well-known footballer David Beckham, businesswoman Paris Hilton and musician Bono, and during his four-year life cycle the company sold him 130 million units.

Now more than a decade after the end of that era, Motorola decided to revive it but with a new vision, combining the clamshell design (similar to coincidence) in the original phone with the operating system Android and touch screen folding becomes when the phone opens an unusually long screen compared to folding devices The other opens up to become like a mini tablet.

When folded the phone becomes almost the same thickness as the original Razer (about 14 mm) length of about 9.4 centimeters with an external screen type OLED measuring at 2.7 inches with a resolution of 800 × 600 pixels, and an average length to a width of 4: 3, when opened it becomes about The 17-inch main display stands out at 6.2 inches with a resolution of 2142 x 876 pixels, but has a 21: 9 aspect ratio.

It seems that the company was interested in "design first" in the first foldable phones as it admits, at the expense of other components of the phone, it includes one rear camera accurately 16 megapixels and one front accurately five megapixels, so it is not aimed at those who are interested in photography mainly.

The phone is powered by a mid-range processor, the Snapdragon 710, with 6GB of RAM, 128GB of internal storage, and a 2510mAh battery.This is a little power compared to other smartphones launched this year.

However, the company put the new phone for sale in black at a price of $ 1500 as of next month, and this price is high even compared to other leading phones, including iPhone 11 and Samsung Galaxy S10. But Motorola hopes that the uniqueness of the phone in the design may bring attention to it and arouse consumers' interest in folding phones again.
