Motorola is working on foldable phone, VP confirms, hints at clamshell dual-fold design

Firstpost  

Rumours around Motorola’s foldable smartphone have long been circulating around. As per the report, the company began working on foldables “a long time ago” and that they have been doing a “lot of iteration.” Derry hinted at the folding phone following the design that appeared in a leaked patent filing that appeared last month. Derry said that the ‘screen-on-the-outside approach ‘adopted by Huawei is the “nicest and purest way” to go, but given the outward fold design’s inherent fragility, he suggested that the clamshell-fold design would likely survive in the long run. Referring to it as the “holy grail” of foldable design, Derry indicated that the Lenovo sub-brand wasn’t the only one doing this and that two “very famous” companies are already “actively exploring the concept.” While a report from The Wall Street Journal last month suggested that Motorola’s foldable phone could launch by the end of this month, Derry, however, refuting it said that the company has “no intention of coming later than everybody else in the market.” With Galaxy Fold releasing in April and Huawei’s Mate X launching in mid-2019, perhaps Motorola’s foldable phone might be showcased late summer. Moto’s VP of Global Product didn’t share any other details regarding specs other than to give some insight on the calculated design choices the company is considering for its upcoming foldable device.
