Motorola Razr 3 Might Lose The Race To Galaxy Z Flip4

Unlike Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, and other major folding screen smartphone makers, Motorola is focusing only on clamshell smartphones. A few years ago, it resurrected the much-popular Razr series. And we every iteration, the company makes it better and better. This is also true for the forthcoming Motorola Razr 3, which has managed to appear in various leaks and rumors.

Motorola Razr 3 Specs

Under the hood, this clamshell smartphone will house the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. Plus, it will have 12GB of memory. So in terms of performance, the Motorola Razr 3 will be on the same line as other Android flagship chips. As for Motorola, due to such a configuration, it will become the company’s first high-end folding screen phone. As you remember, the previous two generations sacrificed performance in order to design. Now, it's time to show what this series is capable of.

Recently, a Weibo whistleblower said that the Motorola Razr 3 folding screen will sport a 2800mAh battery. Thus, there is no difference between the upcoming model’s battery and that of the Razr 5G launched in 2020. We understand that the new Snapdragon 8+ chip has a better power consumption. But it doesn’t mean Motorola should use small-capacity batteries in its premium handsets. Moreover, it falls behind its main rivals.

For instance, rumor has it that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will feature a 3700mAh battery in a similar body. This device will be the direct competitor of the Motorola Razr 3. We are not even talking about the current Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, which has a 3300mAh battery. Simple calculations show that it is 500mAh more than the upcoming Motorola Razr 3. Therefore, the Samsung models will be able to provide a longer autonomy.

Lastly, we’ve heard that the Motorola Razr 3 will sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ 120Hz OLED flexible punch-hole display. In the hole on the front, the phone will host a 32-megapixel selfie camera. At the same time, on the back, there will be a 1/1.5-inch sensor with a 50-megapixel resolution. The secondary camera ought to have a 13MP resolution.
