Please be the Foldable Moto Razr

Moto Razr 2019

Motorola is working on a foldable phone that we expect to look a lot like the old Razr flip phones, only with all of the modern features you get from smartphones of today. That would mean a foldable phone that looks like a small flip or clamshell, but that’s actually a big-screened device when unfolded. It might be the dream setup for those of us who have no interest in a phone that unfolds into a tablet.

Today, the new foldable Motorola Razr (2019) has purportedly leaked, thanks to a post over at Weibo from user @JJUT_. The post has since been deleted from what I can tell, but the internet never forgets and the images are spreading quickly.

The images show an unfolded Moto Razr, packaging, and accessories that could arrive with this supposedly $1,500 phone. In the triangular shaped box for the Razr, we’ve got a USB-A to USB-C cable, 3.5mm dongle, charger, earbuds, and some sort of phone dock or holder.

As for the phone (above), you can see it’s iconic Razr shape with chin, a top notch in the unfolded phone’s display, and a hinge mechanism. None of the images reveal the phone fully folded, but we’re going to assume there is a gap, similar to what we’ve seen on the Galaxy Fold. These displays just can’t fold fully flat at the moment.

It looks pretty cool, though, right? It looks just like an old school Razr phone, only with that modern twist.

Are these images legit? We have no idea at this point. Users at Weibo who are sharing them sure seem to think that @JJUT_ is a legit source and appears to work within the Lenovo community. As I noted above, these images are spreading quickly as if they are indeed the real deal. But again, we have no way to confirm that.

What we do know is that Motorola is working on a foldable phone, likely as a clamshell. We know that a World Intellectual Property Org filing shows a foldable clamshell device that looks like this device here. And we are pretty sure the Moto Razr will more than likely arrive at Verizon under the model number XT-2000. Motorola also said they don’t plan to be late to the foldables party.

Thoughts?

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-

Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual
