Motorola announced yesterday the new Motorola Razr Android phone, comes with a folding screen, It resembles the old phone Razr V3, which was first launched in 2004.
The Motorola Razr Android phone is the second major challenge we have seen for Samsung (Galaxy Fold) phone with folding screen after the Microsoft Surface Duo announced last month.
But the challenge of Motorola is the strongest because of the popularity of the old phone Motorola Razr V3 very popular since its launch, and this is due to its distinctive design, thin thickness, and multiple colors bright at the time, and that the new Motorola phone came at a time when users suffer from defects The $ 2,000 Samsung phone comes with a polymer screen that needs to be handled with care so as not to break.
How Motorola Razr avoided Samsung errors in its Galaxy Fold?
1-stronger screen:
The Motorola Razr comes with a 6.2-inch OLED Flex fold-in display with a resolution of 2142 x 876 pixels.The company calls it the largest Flex View.It supports Cinemavision, which provides the same ultra-wide dimensions as the film industry.
When the phone is switched off, there is a small screen called Quick View on the exterior of the device of the type of OLED measuring of 2.7 inches, and a resolution of 600 × 800 pixels, which allows the use of the phone without opening it to check messages, incoming calls, notifications, as well as turn on and off some basic settings , Control music playback, and talk to Google Assistant.
Motorola has announced that it has full confidence in the durability of the new Motorola Razr screen, as it used a special coating to resist exposure to any problems resulting from folding multiple times.
Motorola's biggest feature is that its screen can withstand it.While Samsung uses a specially made polymer screen for its phone, it is very sensitive and vulnerable to the extent that Samsung has published a manual that includes special warnings so that the phone that comes with it won't be exposed. To $ 2000 for damage and breakage.
Samsung warned that the Galaxy Fold should be kept away from water, dust, car keys, and some other items such as: credit cards that can cause the folding magnet to crash.
2- Folding design:
What you can see in the following GIF is that Motorola has three steel plates in semi-permanent contact with the hinge.The hinge is specially designed to provide space inside it when closed so that the screen can easily fold inside, while you can't get a very small radius on The OLED screen is foldable, but Motorola has figured out how to handle it more effectively than Samsung.
The launch of the Samsung Galaxy Fold was the result of haste and the desire to take over the bulk of the foldable phone market, but Samsung has positioned itself in a very difficult engineering battle, so it is no surprise that it could not achieve superiority.
Motorola is also trying to compete by revitalizing an old smartphone brand, but since Motorola has chosen to fight the right engineering battle it has a better chance of winning.
3.The cheapest folding phone in the market:
The Motorola Razr comes at a price of $ 1500, and will be available during the month of January in the United States, to reach global markets during 2020.
This is the cheapest folding phone on the market, but at the same time more expensive than any flagship phone available on the market even from the new iPhones themselves.
Motorola relies on nostalgia to attract buyers, and also folds inwards, as it is the first foldable phone to remain the size of a compact phone when opened instead of turning into a tablet.
