Motorola has teamed up with Pantone once again to launch a special edition of its Razr+ smartphone in Peach Fuzz. It's available in select markets for US$699.99 (around CA$951), which is already US$300 (~CA$408) off its original price. 

Pantone's Colour of the Year is inspired by a juicy summer treat. Peach Fuzz, or Pantone 13-1023, is a “velvety” and “gentle” hue that evokes “a cozy, tender essence that embodies feelings of togetherness, community and collaboration.”

This Motorola concept phone can wrap around your wrist

Lenovo

What if your smartphone can just wrap around your wrist? Motorola's newest concept smartphone hinges on this idea, even if it technically doesn't have the hinge that foldable phones need now. Motorola's Mobility division showed off at Lenovo Tech World 2023 its "Adaptive Display Concept." Its flexible screen screen can bend at different points allowing you to wrap it around your wrist. 

This concept sports a Full HD Plus resolution pOLED screen. You can bend it in half to transform that 6.9-inch display into a 4.6-inch compact one. So, you can stand it upright as foldables do or wrap it around your wrist to carry it. Lenovo and Motorola aren't strangers to weird phone concepts. We saw the Rizr rollable phone earlier this year. And with concepts like this, there is no guarantee they'll come to market. It is interesting to see what companies are thinking about the future of smartphones.

The 2023 motorola razr (razr 40 in some markets) is a compact and stylish foldable phone with a 1.5-inch OLED cover screen for quick access to notifications and apps. It's not as flashy as the motorola razr+, though. It has a 6.9-inch inner screen with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor, a 4,200mAh battery, and wireless charging. It also boasts a 64-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization, a 13-megapixel ultrawide and macro lens, as well as a 32-megapixel selfie camera. The Razr comes in three vegan leather colours picked in partnership with Pantone: Sage Green, Vanilla Cream, and Summer Lilac. 

Like the razr+, it has an IP52 rating for water and dust resistance and will receive three operating system upgrades and four years of security updates. motorola has not announced the price or availability of the razr yet, but it is expected to be significantly cheaper than the razr+. If you're wondering why you'll pick this over the razr+, motorola is pitching this razr as a device for those who want to spend less time looking at their phone.

Motorola has just announced its latest foldable phone, the Razr+ (or Razr 40 Ultra in other markets), which features a massive 3.6-inch OLED cover screen that lets you do almost anything without opening the phone. The Razr+ also has a 6.9-inch inner OLED screen with a 165Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, and a 12-megapixel main camera paired with a 13-megapixel ultrawide with a 108-degree field of view and a 32-megapixel quad-pixel selfie camera. It will be available on June 16 online and on June 23 at carriers at CAD 1,299 in three colours: Infinite Black, Glacier Blue, and Viva Magenta.

The Razr+ is Motorola's latest effort to revive the iconic flip phone design of the original Razr. The company has made significant changes to the new model, such as ditching the large chin at the bottom and adding a protective layer to the inner screen. The Razr+ also supports 5W wireless charging and has an IP52 rating for dust and water resistance.
