There’s a new Motorola Razr and it comes with a slew of improvements and additions. But one thing that remains unchanged, however, is the vertical box it comes in. Unlike the coffin-like boxes most phones are packaged in, the Razr comes standing upright with a transparent lid that lets you see the phone before you open it. The lid lifts to reveal the foldable phone nestled in the box’s angled base.

Motorola designed the box so that its bottom can be used as a stand for the Razr. The sides of its base are also dotted with tiny holes to amplify the audio from the phone’s speaker grille, which is really handy when you’re listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks. That said, the base is just a box — it doesn’t have power to recharge the phone or electrically amplify music to the level of a standalone Bluetooth speaker. Nonetheless, next to the delight of opening and closing the actual phone, the box still has its uses and it’ll surely surprise buyers the first time they open it.

    I wouldn’t mind it being thicker because you NEED more than 3000 mAh! What’s the point of having a phone if opening its main screen kills it in 3 hours of on screen time?

    I love how in the documentation they actually have to tell you how to remove/insert a SIM card, like they don’t realize it’s pretty much just going to be tech nerds who buy the phone ????

    • Brooklyn TheFurry

      September 10, 2020 at 8:52 pm

      look at the number of people who pay 1200 dollars for apples and yet have no idea how the tech inside works.

    • Caden Churchill

      September 10, 2020 at 9:09 pm

      Brooklyn TheFurry Lol good point! I am curious to see what kind of people typically buy foldables right now though, doesn’t really feel like something that would be mainstream like the iPhone. To me they feel more like something more tech-inclined people would get who are interested in trying out expensive new form factors that may not be as fully developed as your typical smartphone.

    • Brooklyn TheFurry

      September 10, 2020 at 9:28 pm

      @Caden Churchill I know I plan to save up for it, have a Z3 play right now and I love Motorola’s software, build quality, and customer service. What held me back before was the camera and Verizon.

    • Caden Churchill

      September 11, 2020 at 12:39 am

      Brooklyn TheFurry Lol and awesome! I love the look of this phone and I agree, their hardware and software is fantastic! What holds me back right now is there’s no folding iPhone ????
