A problem with The flagship Android phones released earlier this year are that they tend to overheat, probably because they have chips that were based on Samsung’s 4nm manufacturing process. Hopefully this will not be a problem on phones that will use Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip. That The Motorola Razr 3 may be among the first phones to get power from the SoC.
Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 has apparently been manufactured on TSMC’s 4nm process and promises 10 percent better CPU performance, 10 percent faster graphics and up to 30 percent better power efficiency than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
We’ve heard that Motorola is preparing to launch a successor to its foldable phone in 2020, and now the manufacturer has sort of confirmed it. As first seen by Notebook checkMotorola general manager Shen Jin posted a picture on the Chinese social networking site Weibo, which not only suggests that the Motorola Razr 3 is on the way, but also that it will be powered by Qualcomm’s new premium chip.
Per the machine-translated post, there is a hidden message in the image. The poster mentions the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, and we also see a silhouette of a foldable phone, which almost confirms rumors that the Razr 3 will be powered by the new advanced chip.

That would be a great thing because AND Razr and Razr 5G came with mid-tier chips despite their high prices. The Razr 3 may retain the $ 1,399.99 price tag of its predecessor, but the upgrades may justify it to some extent.
First, the Razr 3 is rumored to be throwing away the big frames and embracing a more Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3-like design. Both internal and external screens are expected to be larger, from 6.2-inch to 6.7-inch and 2.7-inch to 3-inch, respectively.
The single-sensor rear camera will be upgraded to a dual-camera setup with a 50MP main snapper and a 13MP hybrid wide-angle and macro unit. The higher resolution 32 MP front camera will reportedly be placed in a hollow cutout instead of a notch.
According to rumors, Motorola’s next foldable phone will be released in China in late July or early August. It will come to international markets at a later date.
