Motorola patent suggest Razr-style foldable device with touch-sensitive sides

Motorola's take on the foldable phone might be getting another upgrade if the recently discovered patent filing is anything to go by.

It shows a clamshell form factor with a secondary screen on the outside, very similar to the recently launched foldable. But this time, the sides feature eight touch sensors that can work as virtual buttons to be pressed and swiped for different features. It can work differently and perform various functions depending on whether the phone is open or closed. There's a possibility of enabling up to 20 different gestures and features.

Motorola razr will be coming to Canada in early 2020

The Motorola RAZR flip phone makes a comeback around 15 years later in the form of the Motorola razr. (Yes, it's all lowercase now.) And yes, it’ll be heading here. MobileSyrup reports that the phone will be coming to Canada in early 2020. There isn't a specific date, though. We'll keep you posted for any updates. For now, let’s talk about the device itself.

The form factor celebrates its predecessor in the most nostalgia-inducing way. It still looks pretty much like the old RAZR. You get a thick, curved chin that gets modernized with a fingerprint sensor and a USB-C charging port.

Motorola Razr spotted out in the wild

In case you haven't seen enough of the Motorola Razr, here's a look of it out in the wild. Slashleaks shared a photo of the device out in public. It's unmistakable with that unique form factor that gives us flashbacks to the days of flip phones. Aside from seeing the thick chin, though, we also spy a thicker bottom bezel and what looks like a notch up top. Some will not be happy with either. But we hope there's less bezel with the final device.

The Motorola Razr, with its folding display, is designed as a mid-range device with a rumoured Snapdragon 710 processor, up to 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. From the renders, it looks like it has a single camera that pulls double duty. Plus, it is being rumoured to have a pretty steep US$1,500 (around CA$1,972) price tag. Motorola is reportedly launching the device on November 13, so we expect to hear more then. Hopefully, one with a lower price (but we kind of doubt that considering the type of device it is).
