Foldable Motorola Razr 2019 Launch Postponed Indefinitely

Dec. 21, 2019

In astatement to Gizmodo, the company gave an unconvincing reason to postpone the launch, saying that it was due to unexpected high demand.“Motorola has decided to adjust razr’s presale and launch timing to better meet consumer demand. We are working to determine the appropriate quantity and schedule to ensure that more consumers have access to razr at launch”. The company also failed to give a revised ETA, saying:“We do not anticipate a significant shift from our original availability timeline”.

While Lenovo’s statement suggests that unexpected popularity for the prohibitively expensive device is to be blamed for the postponement, it is only natural to ask more questions, given everything that has happened with the two other folding smartphones to have been announced this year – the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X, both of whichfaced multiple delaysbefore launch because ofserious reliability issuessurrounding their folding displays.
