The CPU sets the tone for the balance of the phone with Qualcomm'southward new Snapdragon eight Gen 1, the current top-tier flagship processor for Android phones.

The reported photographic camera specs include an OV50A 50MP chief wide-angle sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide sensor. The front-facing camera will avowal an impressive 32MP sensor.

Nosotros oasis't seen this sensor in many phones outside of Cathay; however, it sounds compelling. It features relatively big 1μm pixels on a one/1.five-inch sensor and a unique quad phase detection autofocus that allows it to focus across the unabridged visible range of the sensor. Like many higher megapixel sensors, this should deliver 12.5MP images due to pixel-binning, resulting in even better low-lite performance.

One of the details not included in these leaks or whatsoever thus far is pricing. That is perhaps the biggest hurdle for Motorola with the Razr 3 after Samsung's aggressive $999 price point for the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Given these upgraded specs, it may be hard for Motorola to lucifer information technology.
