Although in Spain its mobiles are not sold as much as in the United States, Motorola continues to grow steadily within the market . Its catalog is prolific, with phones ranging from the simplest like the Moto E32, to true beasts like the Moto Edge 30 Pro.

In its catalog, in addition, there is room for folding mobiles, with the renewal of the fantastic Moto Razr. In 2019 we saw the first model arrive and in 2020 it was the 5G version. Now, it’s time to talk about the Motorola Razr 3, which will be the first foldable with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 on the market.

Motorola wants to go to the next level with its folding

Just a few days ago, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, Qualcomm’s new top-of-the-range chip, was introduced. After this, Motorola let out a teaser about its next move in the market. He did it with the help of Shen Jin, the general manager of the company, who published the image that heads this section on his Weibo profile .

It talks about the arrival of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 to a mobile of the brand, but not to any. If you look at the bottom of the image, you will see that it refers to a folding mobile . This is a fairly obvious statement of intent, since the only foldables of the company are the Moto Razr. If you add to this that the first details and photos of the Motorola Razr 3 are already leaking, it is easy to associate both things.

On the one hand, we are not surprised, since Motorola was the first to present a mobile with the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (Moto Edge X30), so they could repeat the formula with this new chip, but in a foldable. However, for the Motorola Razr 3 to carry such a powerful chip would be a huge leap in performance . The reason? Simple, the Moto Razr 2019 and Moto Razr 5G (2020) had mid-range chips. What does Motorola want to tell us with this? That we are nothing to see a big change in this series.

Everything we know about the Motorola Razr 3, the mobile that will take the company’s foldables further

Although it does not yet have a release date, the first images and specifications of the Motorola Razr 3 (or 2022) were recently leaked. If everything that was revealed is true, this folding mobile will radically change what Motorola has been doing in this niche.

It seems that Motorola will drop the famous lower chin that accompanies the Razr since its origins, achieving a totally flat front. This and the removal of the front camera notch will give you the opportunity to expand the screen, taking it up to 6.7 inches. The same will happen with the auxiliary (external) panel, which will be slightly larger than in previous models.

The other change that became apparent was that of the main cameras, which will become two , instead of just one, as in the 2019 and 2020 models. Putting all this together, the Moto Razr 3 ends up looking a lot like the Galaxy Z Samsung Flip 3, something we do not know if it will be positive or negative. On hardware specifications, rumors point to the following:

  • 6.7-inch main screen with Full HD + resolution.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor with Adreno 730 graphics.
  • 8 / 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 / 512 GB of internal storage UFS 3.1.
  • Dual rear camera with 50 MP main sensor + 13 MP ultra wide angle.
  • 32 MP front camera .

The Motorola Razr 3 could reach the global market between July and August of this year in two colors: black and blue. Its price? We do not know, but with these specifications it will hardly be cheap.
