Motorola is continuing its #HangUpOnIt campaign with the release of a new 'Motorola Razr' phone that honors the original model from the mid-2000s. With the #HangUpOnIt campaign, Motorola is encouraging individuals to challenge the negativity prevalent in the world today and replace it with positive, uplifting emotions. In celebration of this campaign, the brand has sponsored a pre-party for the Met Gala.
At this pre-party, Motorola gifted six attendees the new iteration of its Motorola Razer phone. The phone was one of the largest landmark phones in the 2000s due to its sleek flip design and its long list of features. The 2022 version, though, is a clamshell foldable smartphone with a two-piece backplate that resembles its predecessor. However, this phone only resembles its predecessor in design, as its performance specifications are on par with modern smartphones.
