One of the most popular cellphones of all time, the Motorola RAZR, could make a comeback
A group called Wait Until 8th, which proposes that parents wait until their kid is in 8th grade before buying him/her a smartphone, has over 10,000 signatures from parents in all 50 states who agree with that premise. An ad run by the organization says "Need to get in touch with your child? Buy a flip phone."
Not all flip phones are relics from another age. The Samsung W2018, available only in China, is an Android powered flipper that is priced at the equivalent of $2,500 USD. With a Snapdragon 835 chipset inside, the device carries a pair of 4.2-inch OLED displays, 6GB of RAM and 64GB/256GB of native storage. The 12MP camera that the phone is equipped with, features an f/1.5 aperture. But this phone doesn't disconnect the user from Facebook, or Twitter, or Instagram.
The one old flip phone that many are hoping to see a revival of is one of the top selling phones of all time, the Motorola RAZR. Earlier this year, Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing hinted that we could see the return of Motorola's iconic flip phone.
