Motorola Razr is BACK as iconic noughties phone set for 2022 revival in days

MOTOROLA is re-launching an iconic noughties phone – long before the iPhone ruled the world.

The beloved Motorola Razr landed way back in 2003 and is the best-selling clamshell phone of all time.

In fact, Motorola sold more than 130million units globally – running until about 2007.

Part of its success was linked to celeb endorsements, including a glam pink version toted by Paris Hilton.

Motorola launched new versions in 2007, 2011 and 2019 with significantly less success.

Now Motorola is giving it another go, with a revamped model due out in a matter of days.

The Moto Razr 2022 is tipped to feature flagship-grade specs – putting it direction with the iPhone and top Samsung models.

This could include a powerful Snapdragon 8+ chip, a smooth 120Hz display, and three cameras on the back.

It may also tout 12GB of RAM and a generous 512GB of storage.

Motorola's Razr will almost certainly have a full screen internally – rather than the keyboard we saw in the noughties.

This means it's a clear rival to Samsung's own series of foldable phones.

It's the sci-fi Razr you've always dreamed of.

The catch is that the new model is only available in China initially.
