Motorola has unveiled a new version of its top-selling handset, the Razr. The new version, which runs Android and is just 7.1mm thin, is the successor to the original clamshell handset that sold more than 130million units after it was launched in 2004.

Available on a number of networks in the UK from November, the device features a Kevlar body, a top-of-the range 4.3” display and a 1.2GHz processor.
The original Razr was initially launched as a high-fashion designer phone, but after the price was lowered it went on to sell in record numbers. It is still the world’s best-selling clamshell phone, and featured in popular TV shows such as Lost and Top Gear. A version made for charity was launched by Oprah Winfrey and Bono.
Running Android 2.3.5, the new device also includes a new app called MotoCast, which allows the device to stream or download content such as music, films or files from any computer in the world, so long as it is also using MotoCast.
Sanjay Jha, Motorola’s chairman and chief executive, said that “Motorola Razr is an iconic brand, and one that originally revolutionized the mobile device industry by turning a functional necessity into an object of desire.”
