Motorola Razr 2 Might Continue With The Clamshell Design But Feature Better Hardware

Motorola had a lot of us excited by the way the clamshell, foldable Razr was designed but its the internals which didn't impress us as much. Turns out, that's exactly what the engineers at Motorola think too.

Executives at Motorola have in fact hinted that the next Razr will likely feature a similar clamshell approach, but with better internals. According to a report by Techradar, two key people who were behind the development of the new Razr have suggested that the next phone will carry over the same design along with a bunch of improvements.

These two people — Ruben Castano, Vice President of consumer experience design and Carl Steen, director of product management, state in the report that the improvements in question here refers to better specification — hardware that warrants the tag of a flagship. The duo seems to have noted how a lot of people, most of them who've used or reviewed the Razr have called it out for its mediocre hardware.

The next Moto Razr could thus feature a Snapdragon 800 series processor. One of the main reasons according to Steen for the use of a 700 series processor was that the phone did not feature a QHD display that would have made full use of the Snapdragon 800 series SoC capabilities.

Steen also mentioned that Motorola would want to include 5G in its next-generation devices. What will, however, remain the same in the next device is a major part of the design and form factor.

“As we think about future devices, we’re really looking at how to optimize that [form factor] said Steen, “for example, the QuickView Display – we’re looking at ways to make an even [richer] experience”.

Motorola is also likely to make some changes to the secondary display in its new phone. The second display may be bigger and add more features. The publication also reported that Motorola’s Moto Razr 2019 was not the only foldable device the brand was working on. Apparently, the brand also wanted to make a flexible screen smartwatch.
