News of a potential revival on a Motorola’s Razr flip phone hit the internet recently on YouTube and Twitter feeds has created a buzz, giving hope to those that have always longed to hold that elegant Motorola flip phone again. It has been a decade since we’ve seen the Motorola Razr.
“Flip back to the Razr days of yesteryear and get ready for the future,” reads the YouTube description for the video. This text links to a signup form for updates. The video ad of the Motorola phone ends with a voice saying “Hello Moto” and displaying the date “06.09.16.”

Motorola’s flip phone suddenly resurfaces and gives us a date so we’ll take this almost as a confirmation that Motorola will be coming out with a major announcement on June 9, 2016.
June 9 also happens to be the day when Motorola owner Lenovo will be holding a big press event.
This news has brought with it plenty of excitement on social media sites. But nothing else is known about Motorola’s plans with the flip phone.
The new Razr will obviously run a modern OS. Possible Android, except the company has something up their sleeves but I hightly doubt that.
All this excitement over the possible return of Motorola Razr, brings us to other flip phones on the market. If Motorola Razr does enjoy a revival, it wouldn’t be the first flip phone to rise from the ashes. Companies like Freetel, Alcatel and Kyocera recently unveiled their flip phones running the latest operating systems.
All this talk on flip phones takes me back to the days when I owned a Motorola V50 flip phone many years ago. That was actually my first phone even before the Razr came into existence but I do miss the flip phone because there’s something satisfying about snapping shut a flip phone.
We don’t know what this device will look like, perhaps it could be as slim as Motorola Razr was but we’ll keep you posted if details of this device comes to light.
