![]() This is cool, actually: in concept, you can watch something on the large screen while chatting or doing unrelated tasks on the small display. ![]() Remember the old Sidekick phones that swiveled out? This is the modern version - though instead of revealing a keyboard, the LG Wing’s top screen swivels out to reveal. ![]() One of our favorite phones this year is the LG Wing 5G, which is also one of the strangest. Plus, taking a selfie with a phone folded up to the size of a mint tin is so, so cool. But the Razr was first on the market and in our hearts. Some design flaws were ironed out in the Motorola Razr 2020 refinement released later in 2020, but even that doesn’t quite top the only other clamshell foldable released this year, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Sadly, it’s significantly pricier than flagship phones without offering more functionality - even being able to snap the Razr closed to end a phone call doesn’t justify the price hike. And, yes, the Razr did manage to get a fully-functional smartphone to fold into a form factor that’s half the size of a typical phone’s footprint. Which is a shame given the design innovation it took to get the Razr to work: a hinge that bends the plastic display in such an esoteric way to keep it from creasing, while also integrating micro-brushes to automatically sweep away particles so they don’t gum up the works. While we first got our hands on the Motorola Razr in late 2019, delays pushed its release to early 2020 - and while the clamshell foldable captured the public’s imagination, it didn’t seem like it sold too well. ![]()
