The Moto Razr 2022 is the perfect fusion of futurism and nostalgia - Yanko Design

The interweb has been buzzing with a certain slice of news leaked past the Wall Street Journal only last calendar week. Motorola plans to build a 2019-appropriate version of their iconic Razr phone. Details are incredibly scarce, and the just taste of the phone we've got is via images from their patent registration with the World Intellectual Property Organisation in December 2018.

The 3D visualization of the 2022 Razr bases itself on these patents. The new Razr will be more squarish (when closed) than its predecessors, only that's but because information technology comes with a flexible folding display that runs all the way from the acme to the bottom, with what nosotros can only presume is an aspect ratio of 19:8, along with curved edges and even a notch (the notch design has always been a part of the Razr series, if you recall). Flip the phone on its back and you lot see the secondary display and the single-lens camera on the upper half of the phone, and a fingerprint sensor on the lower half. The presence of two screens ways y'all can A. use the camera as both a front and backwards facing shooter, besides as B. access the phone'south notifications without opening out the flexible display. There's no word on whether the secondary display will exist bear on-enabled. There'southward also the absence of volume buttons in the patent drawing (and afterwards left out of the visualization), as well as a power button, but given the phone's flip nature, I incertitude we'd need a power push button on this beaut.

Through the years, the Razr has ever been a symbol of cut-edge futurism. Unsettlingly thin when it launched, the Moto Razr was an firsthand object of desire, with its slim profile, and the fact that it was probably the but phone to come bundled with iTunes long before Apple closed their ecosystem. The 2022 Razr builds on that philosophy, retaining the slim profile, and introducing a new scrap of futuristic tech, with the flexible display. A rare combination of cut-edge (wordplay!) innovation and fond nostalgia, the Razr 2022 could easily be this year's most awaited phone (and the year'due south simply begun!)
