Motorola on Wednesday evening announced a new version of the popular Razr phone, this time with a screen that folds in half. It launches on Verizon Jan. 9 for $1,500.
It will cost $1,499.99 and launches in January on Verizon in the U.S.; preorders open on Dec. 26.
The ultimate goal is to create a phone that can double as a tablet when you open it up, but Motorola has a slightly different take. It looks like a normal touch-screen smartphone when it's open, and it's smaller and more pocketable when closed. This seems like the future of how foldable phones should and may work for most people. Think about devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 11+, for example. I love it, but it's huge. If Samsung uses its display technology in future iterations, it could make it more pocketable by allowing it to fold in half, like Motorola is doing.
