After hearing and seeing little surrounding Motorola’s upcoming foldable Razr for much of 2019, the leaks have turned to a flood ahead of the Nov. 13 official launch event. Today we here at GetTechMedia received our first shot of the retro-inspired smartphone out in public or as some may call it “The wild”.
This photo of someone in bright daylight utilizing the new Razr originates from Weibo. Although the contents of the Razr display are mostly obscured, the smartphone’s prominent chin, notch and USB-C charging port can be seen perfectly, as well as that key / button near the bottom that could either be a latch or a fingerprint sensor or even both. Who knows.
Judging from this photo, it appears as though there’s a rather large black bezel between the bottom of the display area and the top side of that bulbous chin. No that is a bit concerning, though no renders that have leaked to date have indicated that this type of bezel will be present on the final product.
There can either be one of two stuff happening, we’re seeing a quirk of a preproduction unit and the other just a software setting at play.
It’s quite obvious the new Motorola Razr will feature a rather large bump at the bottom, where the two halves of that extra-tall, flexible 6.2-inch display will meet. The original Motorola Razr made a similar design concession, though on the new foldable model this space seems much thicker, likely because it’s housing a good chunk of the device’s essential circuitry. Still, the new Motorola Razr at least looks as if can unfold completely flat, though the positioning of this person’s left hand in this leaked photo makes it difficult to tell the difference of whether there’s an obvious crease present here.
Motorola has officially announced a Nov. 13 event in Los Angeles where it will unveil its new Motorola Razr to the world.
