Last month, Lenovo China’s General Manager for mobile business Chen Jin confirmed that the company is working on the third generation Razr clamshell device. Yesterday, XDA Developers carried a report that revealed that the Motorola Razr 3 will be arriving as a flagship device, unlike the predecessor models that were packed with mid-range specs. Now, a fresh report by Technik News has revealed additional information on the specs of the Razr 3.
XDA reported that it has learnt through
its sources that the Razr 3 will be driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.
To recollect, the first Motorola Razr flip phone came with Snapdragon 710 and
its second-generation model was equipped with the Snapdragon 765G chipset.
The Razr 3 is likely to arrive in RAM
options such as 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB. It is likely to arrive in storage
choices like 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB. Its display will not have a notch,
which was seen on the predecessor models. Instead, it will be sporting a
punch-hole design. On the connectivity front, the device is expected to arrive
with support for NFC and UWB (ultrawide-band) more accurate positioning. As far
as display is concerned, the publication reported that the Razr 3 has a
foldable AMOLED panel that offers a 120Hz refresh rate. It will continue to
feature a secondary screen, but there is no information on its size and
resolution.
Technik News revealed that the Razr 3 is
codenamed as ‘Maven’ and it will be housing a Full HD+ foldable display that
offers a 20:9 aspect ratio. However, it could verify whether it has an AMOLED
screen. The device will be housing a 2,800mAh battery. Coming to the optics,
the rear camera setup of the Razr 3 will house a 50-megapixel OV50A OmniVision
primary camera and a 13-megapixel camera for ultrawide and macro shots. For
selfies, it will feature a 32-megapixel OmniVision camera. The main and front
cameras will be capable at shooting 120fps FHD slow-motion recording and a
60fps 4K UHD video shooting. Lastly, it will come preinstalled with Android 12
OS.
It is speculated that the Razr 3 may debut
in June 2022. Due to the ongoing pandemic and chip shortage issue, its arrival
may get postponed by a couple of weeks.
