Prepare To Nostalgia, ‘Cause Motorola Are Teasing A Legit RAZR Comeback

Before blank, homogenous slabs of smartphone tech became utterly ubiquitous, manufacturers basically threw madcap phone designs at the wall just to see what’d stick.

Remember these bad boys?

Go home Nokia, you’re drunk. Yet, among all the ridic designs cooked up in the mid-2000s before we finally traded form for function, one stood out. Well, rather, it didn’t, ’cause it was so thin. 

Oh yes, the Motorola RAZR. Seriously, don’t even try to pretend you weren’t all about it.


Now, that surprisingly timeless piece of design / taker of a million MySpace photos (with limited functionality to actually visit the site) seems to be making a comeback.

Want proof of the impending flip-phone Renaissance? Observe:

THE MID-NOUGHTIES HIGH SCHOOL STRATIFICATION. THE CHEERY POP-PUNK. THE PHONE SEQUINS.

Bloody hell, way to tap into a demographic. Our emotions can be summed up thusly:

Anyway, the date 9 June lines up snugly with Lenovo Tech World, which is handy, ’cause Lenovo swallowed up Motorola back in 2014.

This means we can probs expect to see a revamped, possibly-Android RAZR in less than a bloody month, people.  

Get ready to reshuffle your Top Eight friends, ’cause this bad boy’s coming in hot.
