We’ve already come across reports that Lenovo-owned Motorola plans to resurrect the iconic Moto Razr. Now, a patent filing by Motorola Mobility has possibly revealed the design of the upcoming handset.
91Mobiles spotted the patent filing of a Motorola handset with World Intellectual Property Organization. The filing contains several diagrams that show a folding handset with a clamshell form factor. Accoring to the filing, the Moto Razr will have two screens, a small screen on the outside and a folding screen on the inside.
However, there’s no mention of the Razr brand in the filing. That said, the illustrations are largely similar to the Moto Razr V3’s design. For dsintance, it shows the same iconic hinge as well as the same chin.

The newly found Motorola patent comes shortly after a report by WSJ which claimed Lenovo plans to bring back the iconic Razr phone. Besides, the report also notes that the upcoming Razr will be a Verizon exclusive in the US. Also, Lenovo is reportedly planning to launch the handset in February at a price tag of $1500. That said, the report also adds that the device is undergoing testing, and exact details are yet to be finalized.
Other details such as specifications, screen size, and design remain a mystery for the moment. The report, however, does note that Lenovo plans to manufacture over 200,000 units of the new RAZRs, which is rather surprising given it’s a $1500 luxury phone.
