Motorola might be releasing not one, but two intriguing smartphones in China next month. In a Weibo post, the business teased the first, which promises to be one of the world’s first phones with a 200-megapixel camera. A third-generation foldable Razr might also be included.
On Weibo, Motorola’s general manager Shen Jin teased the upcoming foldable with a mysterious teaser that looked to show a silhouette of a smartphone unfolding.
The smartphone with the 200-megapixel camera is said to have been built under the codename “Frontier” and has been leaked several times in recent months. WinFuture released many renderings of the gadget in January, along with a rather comprehensive list of specifications.
Samsung’s 200-megapixel primary camera, together with a 50-megapixel ultra wide, a 12-megapixel telephoto, and a 60-megapixel selfie camera, would allegedly be used in the phone.
A 6.67-inch OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate is also rumored, as is a 4,500mAh battery with 125W wired fast-charging and 50W wireless fast-charging capability. In March, a snapshot of the phone was supposedly released to Weibo.
Meanwhile, late last year, Motorola’s Shen Jin seemed to confirm that the company was working on a third-generation Razr, and photos of the gadget surfaced earlier this month.
The phone still has a clamshell form, but it may feature a revised design that removes the previous device’s big “chin” and shifts the power button and fingerprint sensor to the right side of the phone.
However, the most significant update for the new Razr looks to be on the inside, with the gadget set to be powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 CPU, which was just introduced a few days ago..
The same chip is likely to be used in the 200-megapixel camera phone. It’s a significant upgrade for Motorola’s foldable, which previously relied on Qualcomm’s midrange CPUs, which resulted in poor performance.
