Motorola Razr 3 leaked live images suggest a foldable phone similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3

Two leaked images from Evan Blass (via 91mobiles) have given an insight into the 3rd generation of Moto Razr foldable that will supposedly go on sale in China in late July or August. Maven (codename for Razr 3), as it appears from the testing model leaks, will boast two upgraded cameras on its back: a 50MP (f/1.8) main sensor and a 13MP sensor for ultra-wide and macro shots. 

On the front, the Motorola folding phone could sport a 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED panel with a 32MP hole-punch selfie camera. 

The new Razr appears to be getting rid of the chin that protruded outwards in its predecessor. Another noticeable change could be that the fingerprint sensor will now be part of the power button.

Unlock it, and internally, there could be up to 12GB RAM and up to 512GB of storage. The Razr 3 is rumoured to be released in two versions, the base model of which will house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 system-on-a-chip (SoC). As for the superior version, besides its ‘Plus’ moniker, there’s no news of the underlying chip or anything else, at the moment.   

With previous editions of Razr not hitting the mark, Lenovo seems to have rearmed the design and galvanized the third edition to look and perform much like the foldable phone flagship Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G. With the first two editions of the Razr, i.e., the $1499 priced first-gen model in 2019 with a creaky hinge and subpar screen and thereafter, not so redeeming 2020 5G Razr – Motorola has, according to the leak, come up with a device that is all set to compete against Samsung’s best, Z Flip 3. Let’s see if the third time’s the charm for Motorola. 

The Moto Razr 3 will launch in China and could go on sale worldwide by the end of 2022.

WhatsApp is getting larger groups, file transfers, and emoji reactions

Meta is introducing new WhatsApp features like single file transfers of up to 2GB in size, and bigger groups of up to 512 members. The company is also rolling out Reactions on WhatsApp that lets you send any of these 6 emojis — thumbs up, laughter, heart, crying, shocked face, and folded hands.

Larger groups and file-sharing on WhatsApp

 

WhatsApp is becoming a more feature-rich instant messaging app with new inclusions like more members in the groups, bigger file sharing, and conveying your emotions towards messages with emojis. 

You can transfer files of up to 2GB at a time which is more than the previous limit of 100MB. What you transfer will be secured by end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp thinks this will contribute to collaboration among small businesses and school groups. 

Needless to say, using WiFi for transferring such huge files is recommended. The nifty thing about this feature is that you can keep track of the uploading or downloading status so that you know the ETA.

Emoji reactions on WhatsApp

Much like reactions on Instagram Stories, now you can share expressions to WhatsApp messages. You get six emojis to choose from including laughter, heart, thumbs up, folded hands, crying, and shocked face. All you have to do is long-press a message and pick the emoji. The selected emoji will be shown attached beneath the message.  

We heart these new features and send thumbs up to WhatsApp for finally inculcating them.

OnePlus Nord 2T leaks in its full glory including live images, specs, and likely price

We have seen the leaked OnePlus Nord 2T renders and its rumoured specifications. In fact, the phone has been part of the online chatter going all the way to the beginning of this year. In a report marking the launch roadmap of OnePlus devices, we learned the Nord 2T could come in early May. And, as we are almost halfway through the month, the Nord 2T leaks are back again in full swing. The device appeared in an unboxing video by YouTuber Sahil Karoul. Incidentally, the new Nord is also currently listed on AliExpress France, disclosing its design renders, specs, price, in-box contents, and main features. 

Let’s dive in.

OnePlus Nord 2T Specs and Features (Leaked)

OnePlus Nord 2T in Gray and Green colours

First, the AliExpress listing tells us the OnePlus Nord 2T will come with MediaTek Dimensity 1300 SoC, Android 12-based Oxygen OS 12.1 (for the global market), a 4500mAh battery with 80W SuperVOOC charging, 32MP Sony IMX615 front camera, a 50MP Sony IMX766 OIS+ 8MP ultrawide+ 2MP B&W triple rear camera setup, and a 6.43 Inch 90Hz Fluid AMOLED display. 

The listed price for Nord 2T 8+128GB model is $399 (around ~₹30,703). The site also reveals there will be a free OnePlus Bullets Z with the first 300 orders. Needless to say, this offer could be limited to select markets covered by AliExpress France.

Coming to the live images that you see above are from a recent video posted by YouTuber Sahil Karol who claims to have gotten his hands on the Nord 2T from a Dubai-based retailer. He unboxes the phone and shows the in-box contents like the 80W power adapter, USB-C cable, a silicone case, pre-applied screen protector, and other paperwork and stuff. 

Then, he goes on to talk about the phone’s aesthetics, the rear camera panel with dual flash, alert slider on the right side, Nano+Nano SIM card slot, 8/12GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128/256GB of UFS 3.1 storage options, and benchmark scores. He shows the Nord 2T Antutu scores to be 622964, Geekbench scores to be 719 (single-core) and 2760 (multi-core), and finally, the 3DMark Wildlife scores to be 4638.

The Nord 2T is also shown to have Widevine L1 certification for HD streaming on OTT platforms, and support for Smooth+ Extreme quality on PUBG Mobile. He mentions some performance hiccups in the gameplay and chalks it down to the underlying chipset and software not being rightly optimized.

So, we think only once the phone’s officially out and in the hands of reviewers and customers, we will be in a better position to judge the device.
