• Motorola has reportedly filed a patent for an out-folding Razr foldable.
• This would theoretically give users an external display without using a separate external screen.
• It would however expose the folding screen to scratches and other potential damage.

Motorola revealed the Razr foldable clamshell phone back in late 2019 and followed up with the Razr 5G in late 2020. However, Samsung stole Motorola’s thunder by offering the Galaxy Z Flip series, coming to more markets and offering more reasonable pricing and specs.

Now, MySmartPrice has uncovered a WIPO patent that shows a rather curious Motorola Razr foldable phone design. The patent shows an outward-folding Razr as opposed to the in-folding designs seen before. In other words, the foldable screen remains on the outside when folded.
