Cingular, Motorola Show Off Pink RAZR

By Digital Trends Staff February 1, 2006

Cingular and Motorola today announced they would begin offering up a pink version of the popular RAZR cell phone to customers beginning February 6. The new Motorola Pink RAZR is priced at $149.99 with a two-year service agreement.

The Motorola Pink RAZR, the two companies said, offers up all the features found in previous RAZR models such as an ultra thin design, an aluminum and magnesium nickel plated copper alloy body, digital video recording and still images via a VGA camera with zoom, wireless Bluetooth technology and quad band communications support. All of this is presented in a pink body color, which Cingular thinks will give it an even more fashionable look.

“Cingular is committed to offering our customers an array of handsets that appeal to all styles and tastes,” said David Christopher, vice president of product management, Cingular Wireless, in a statement. “The Motorola Pink RAZR is a fashionable twist on one of our most popular wireless handsets. With its wealth of functions, ultra-sleek design and now a fashionable new look, it is sure to be on many wish lists this Valentine’s Day and beyond.”

Motorola did something ridiculous to its new Razr phones

We can all agree the best name for Motorola’s range of folding smartphones is the Razr, but unfortunately, the conversation doesn’t stop there.

It’s official — Motorola’s next Razr is the 2023 phone I can’t wait for

Motorola keeps churning out phones across all price brackets, from flagships in the Edge series to clamshell foldables in the Razr lineup. But barely any have managed to stand out against established rivals like Samsung.

In 2023, that just might change with the upcoming Razr 40 Ultra/Razr Ultra, a flip folding phone that looks astonishingly good, functionally ahead of the competition, and with impressive hardware inside. This phone looks like Motorola finally decided to go all out and give the best foldable that it can.

Samsung is done for if Motorola’s next Razr foldable looks like this

Foldable phones look primed to take an evolutionary step in 2023. Google, the lord of Android, is now in the game with the Pixel Fold. Samsung leaks suggest that its Galaxy Z Flip 5 will solve nagging woes by embracing a gapless design and finally making the secondary screen more usable. But it looks like Motorola will own the year with its upcoming clamshell-style foldable phone, the Moto Razr 40 Ultra.
Industry insider Evan Blass (aka @evleaks) has shared a fresh batch of high-resolution renders depicting the phone in a trio of shades — including black, a peppy shade of magenta, and an understated teal green shade. Motorola’s next offering looks astoundingly different from the previous clamshell foldable in the Razr series, and we're all for its aesthetic makeover.

But what really stands out about the phone is the large secondary display at the back that also surrounds the camera lenses, plus the visibly gapless design when the two halves are shut closed. Ever since the first-gen Razr foldable arrived on the scene, Motorola has kept refining the design, paying special attention to the secondary display by stretching its screen real estate and making it more functional.
For the Razr 40 Ultra, the company has turned almost the entire top half into a cover display, giving the appearance of two camera lenses floating independently in a sea of pixels. It looks clean and geometrically sound, unlike the approach that Samsung appears to be taking with the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which has the cover display area avoiding the camera island and taking an odd shape.
Blass' older leaks suggest that Motorola will be offering a healthy bunch of home and lock screen customization options for the cover display. Plus, it appears that these customization tricks will play to the tunes of Android’s Material You theming system. We dearly hope that Motorola also lets users run apps, or at least some of them, in their full functional glory, instead of just offering a rudimentary level of interactivity.
