Motorola phones, from the bag phone to the iconic Razr #Mobile #Cellular #Motorola @BusinessInsider
Business Insider takes a look at the evolution of Motorola phones, from the bag phone to the iconic Razr flip phone that’s making a comeback this year.
A new version the Motorola Razr is coming this year, the CEO of Lenovo told CNBC.
The Motorola Razr became one of the most iconic mobile phones when it was released in 2004.
Take a look at the evolution of Motorola phones, from the brick phone to the modernized 2020 Razr.
Motorola’s DynaTAC (Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage) line started with the DynaTAC 8000x which launched in 1984. It cost $3,995 when it was released.
The Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was a result of a race between Motorola and Bell Labs. Former Motorola vice president Martin Cooper made the first private call from a mobile phone to Joel Engel, his Bell Labs rival.
The Motorola MicroTAC was released in 1989, and was one of the smallest and lightest phones at the time, meaning it was also easier to carry around. It retailed for $2,995 when it was released in the US.
The phone could be folded in two places, making it pocket-size — and technically a “flip phone.”
