It looks like Motorola wants to draw some of the hype away from Samsung and its August Unpacked event. Motorola announced in a Weibo post that it’s planning to reveal the Moto Razr 2022, along with the Moto X30 Pro, on August 2. Even if the new Razr will be revealed before Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4, it’s going to be limited to Chinese markets at launch, with European markets afterwards.
From leaked images and videos, it looks like Motorola is doing away with that iconic chin that the Razr is known for. The upcoming chin-less Razr shares a lot more resemblance to the Z Flip 3 now, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing since Samsung nails the clamshell foldable design. It’s hard to tell if Motorola can differentiate the Razr 2022 enough to take away some of Samsung’s pull and nostalgia alone might not be enough.
