Motorola is reportedly working on a new foldable mobile that
will be a cheaper version of its Motorola Razr series. The device, dubbed Motorola Razr Lite,
will have a smaller outer screen and a lower price tag than the original Motorola Razr
and Motorola Razr 5G.
The Motorola Razr Light will have a 4-inch display on the outside, in
contrast to the Razr 5G's 6.2-inch internal display and the 2.7-inch display on
the outside, as reported by 91mobiles. The smaller screen will likely reduce
the functionality of the outer display, which can be used to access
notifications, quick settings, camera controls, and more on the Razr 5G.
The report likewise guarantees that the Motorola Razr Light will have
a Snapdragon 765G processor, 8GB of Smash, and 256GB of stockpiling. The camera
setup will consist of a 48MP main sensor and a 20MP selfie shooter. The battery
capacity will be 2800mAh, with support for 15W fast charging. The device will
run on Android 11 out of the box.
The Motorola Razr Light should ship off in the second quarter of
2021, with a retail cost of around $1,000. This is through and through lower
than the $1,400 cost of the Razr 5G, which was shipped off in September last
year. The Razr Lite will compete with other foldable mobiles in the market, such
as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Z Flip 5G.
The report also shared some renders of the Motorola Razr Lite, which
show a similar design to the Razr 5G, but with a smaller outer screen and a
different camera module. The device will have a clamshell structure factor,
with a turn part that grants it to overlay into two halves. Additionally, the
device will have a USB-C port at the base and a unique finger impression
scanner on the back.
The Motorola Razr Lite will be Motorola's third foldable mobile, after
the Motorola Razr and Razr 5G. The company has been trying to revive its iconic Razr
brand with modern foldable technology but has faced some challenges in terms of
durability, performance, and pricing. The Razr Lite could be an attempt to
attract more customers who are interested in foldable mobile but are not
willing to pay a premium for them.

Summary:
Motorola is reportedly working on a new version of its
foldable Motorola Razr phone that will have a lower price and a smaller outer screen.
The device, dubbed Motorola Razr Lite, is expected to launch later this year and will
compete with other affordable foldable from Samsung and Xiaomi. According to
sources, the Motorola Razr Lite will have the same clamshell design and inner display as
the Razr 5G but will extra some features such as the external camera and
fingerprint sensor to reduce costs. The smaller outer screen will also limit
the functionality of the phone when closed but will still show notifications
and basic controls. Motorola hopes that the Razr Lite will appeal to consumers
who want a foldable phone without breaking the bank.
