Motorola is getting nostalgic for the days when flip phones were still a thing, and the Razr was the one phone to rule them all. So, they're trying to bring back both the flip phone and the Razr brand by using the a foldable-screen technology that's similar to what we've seen in the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
So, of course, the important question is: how well does the new Motorola Razr work with games? We haven't been able to get our hands on a device, so we can't really say for ourselves, but YouTuber Booredatwork was able test it out and give his opinion on the matter:
Booredatwork put it through the paces playing Call of Duty Mobile, and he had some fairly positive things to say about the device.
While you might expect a screen that folds in half to feel a bit flimsy while using it for gaming, Booredatwork said that the device felt remarkably rigid and solid. He did say, however, that the Razr ran hot fairly quickly during gameplay, though Motorola may end up making improvements before the device's final release that would fix that problem.
The speakers gave off decent-quality sound, he said, though he felt like he'd need more time with the device before he could give any meaningful verdict on the quality.
Booredatwork also noted that the screen is vibrant, and it has a clever hinge mechanism that prevents you from seeing the crease - something that the Samsung Galaxy Fold didn't include. He was also impressed with how the folded device can fit easily into most people's pockets, counteracting the problem caused by the ever-increasing screen sizes of modern phones.
The Motorola Razr will release in January 2020, but at $1500, the phone might be a tough sell. Even though Booredatwork didn't have any problem playing Call of Duty Mobile on max settings, the Razr's specs don't quite match any comparably-priced phones on the market, meaning that it'll have to cater to those who are impressed by its compact design or drawn in by nostalgia.
