Motorola Razr 3 with new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 officially confirmed

The Motorola Razr 3 foldable smartphone has reportedly been in the works for a while now, and recently, leaked images of the device also popped up revealing details about the possible design. Now, Motorola has officially confirmed the existence of an upcoming foldable phone, most likely the Motorola Razr 3, which will be powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.

The chipset is built on TSMC's 4nm process and is claimed to offer 10 per cent better CPU performance, 10 per cent faster graphics, and up to 30 per cent better power efficiency compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Motorola Razr 3 teased

First spotted by Notebookcheck, Motorola's General Manager Shen Jin took to Weibo to post a poster of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC with a caption saying, "We have hidden an easter egg, can you see it?". At the bottom of the photo, you can see a V-shaped silhouette that represents a clamshell-style foldable phone.

The phone is most likely the new Motorola Razr 3 and the photo confirms the launch of the next-gen Motorola foldable phone with the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC. This is a huge upgrade over the original Razr and Razr 5G that came with mid-tier SoCs despite their exorbitant prices.

We can expect Motorola to reveal more details about the upcoming device relatively soon including the launch date of the phone. Aside from the SoC, everything else is pretty much under wraps for now.

NVIDIA at Computex 2022: HITMAN 3, F1 2022, Deep Rock Galactic and more will soon receive RTX Support

Nvidia has announced a list of games that will soon receive RTX support, i.e., become RTX On.

Nvidia's Computex presentation this year was mostly around AI and Cloud solutions, but fret not, there was a little something for gamers as well. A list of games that will soon go RTX On.

The first to join the club will be Hitman 3. Support for RTX has already been out for Hitman 3 for a few weeks, but we now know that it's officially supported for both RTX and DLSS. This means that while high-end rigs can enjoy the wonders of ray-tracing, thanks to DLSS, rigs that were struggling to run the game before might have a better time now.

We thought Hitman 3 was a fantastic stealth game with a high replayability factor, add to that a planned roguelike mode and we can't wait to jump back in, this time with glorious ray tracing. Check out our review for the game here.

The second title to go RTX On will be F1 2022, support for which won't release till sometime next month. F1 2021 (which we thought was a solid entry point into the series, read the review here) already supports both DLSS and RTX, so F1 2022 getting the same treatment doesn't really come as a surprise. DLSS support for the new F1 game is appreciated considering how beefy the requirements for the game are.

There were a few other notable mentions in the list, with no specific dates mentioned, however. This includes Deep Rock Galactic, a fantastic co-op game which already has an experimental RTX mode, but it's pretty wonky. Check out our review for the game here. Official RTX support should hopefully take care of all the jank.

Other titles mentioned in the list include LEAP, Ghost, Loopmancer, Hydroneer, Propnight, Raji: An Ancient Epic, Vampire: The Masquerade - Swansong, Turbo Sloths, and Warstride Challenges.

Motorolas first 200MP phone will launch in July, could it be the long-rumored Moto Frontier

Motorola has shared a poster on the Chinese social site Weibo which teases a forthcoming 200MP phone from the brand. Well, that’s what we glean from the loosely translated texts from the teaser. The said image has got a giant camera lens along with an invitation to “the era of 200-million pixel images” and a promise of an “insight into unprecedented details”. Now, this isn’t the first time we are hearing about a Motorola phone with a 200MP camera. We’ve got a name also which is “Frontier”.

So, could the aforementioned marketing-speak be referring to Motorola Frontier? If yes, here’s what we know about the phone —

Motorola Frontier Specs and Features (Expected)

Leaked Motorola Frontier renders

From the previous leaks and rumors, we think the phone could sport a 6.7-inch HDR10+ FHD+ 144Hz AMOLED display. There could be a 60MP selfie taker. 

As for the rear, the setup could include a 200MP main camera, a 50MP secondary shooter, and a 12MP third snapper.

Inside, the Moto Frontier could be bearing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 that was recently announced. The memory combination could go up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. The battery size could be 4500mAh and the charging speed could be a stupendous 125 watts.

The first Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Motorola phone could be Moto Razr 3 or the Moto Frontier  

It is an easy guess that the Motorola phone will have a nearly stock Android 12 software with MyUX skin on top.

Among other things, the handset is likely to have an in-screen fingerprint scanner, 5G, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB-C port. 

That’s a very flagship-y assortment of specs. However, as we said, they are still based on the rumor mill. So, we are still waiting for corroborative shreds of evidence to tie in these with the so-called Motorola Frontier. That said we could come across more concrete details in the times leading up to the July launch. Stay tuned.
