Folding OLED Smartphones

The New Motorola razr Smartphone Has a Familiar Flip Phone Design

— November 14, 2019 — Tech
The Motorola razr smartphone has been unveiled by the brand as its next-generation solution that will enable users to enjoy the benefits of a full-size device in the form of a compact flip phone. Featuring a hinged design, the smartphone has an OLED display that is capable of being folded in half when not in use to immediately shrink it down to the size of a flip phone.

The device draws design inspiration from the namesake flip phone that quickly became one of the most popular mobile solutions on the market in the mid-2000s. The "razr embodies each of Motorola's core design principles: simplicity, surprise, and richness. With a familiar form factor, the design and functionality have been re-invented to meet today’s consumer and technology needs."

The Motorola razr smartphone positions an external display onto the clamshell-shaped solution to let users easily answer messages and manage other incoming notifications. Other features of the device include an internal Flex View display and an interactive Quick View display that lets users make calls, mobile payments and more without having to open the smartphone.
