The ThinkPhone is a successful collaboration nine years in the making and a step in the right direction for Motorola.
Lenovo executive Chen Jin has confirmed that the upcoming Motorola Razr foldable will have a 3.5-inch cover display.
That’s bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 (1.9 inches), it’s bigger than the last Razr (2.7 inches), and it’s even bigger than Oppo’s recent Find N2 Flip (3.26 inches). Here’s hoping Motorola’s software makes the most of the screen real estate.

It must be MWC, because every old mobile grievance was revisited, even as we celebrated what is surely our phone of the future, Motorola’s rollable Rizr concept.
We also dug into Alex Heath’s big scoop exposing Meta’s hardware roadmap, TikTok’s unsettling new filter, and talked a little about Elon Musk. Not too much.
As well as Lenovo’s rollable laptop concept, we also checked out a phone prototype from its Motorola subsidiary. The company called it the “Motorola Rollable” in our demonstration, but it appears to be called the “Rizr” if the name printed on the rear of the device is anything to go by. That’s a nod to Motorola’s sliding feature phones from the mid 00s. Find our full thoughts here.

Jon Porter is at Mobile World Congress 2023 this week and can show you Lenovo’s rollable screen laptop plus its Motorola-branded rollable phone.
First teased last October, the devices made an in-person appearance at Mobile World Congress 2023. But it’s clear they’re still far from ready for a public release.
The Motorola ThinkPhone, which just got announced at CES, is a serious business phone for serious ThinkPad users. But what’s up with those rounded corners? Commit to the bit!
Every year Pantone unveils a trending color to represent the year ahead, and for 2023, that’s PANTONE 18-1750 which is otherwise known as “Viva Magenta.”
Some gadgets, like the Motorola Edge 30 Fusion, are already rocking the purple-red hue — perhaps Motorola has paid for a Pantone Connect subscription following the color system’s spat with Adobe.
A step forward for Motorola, but not a category leader
Good performance and great battery stamina don’t compensate for its shortcomings
The Galaxy got even bigger
