Taking into consideration issues which iPhones and nostalgia this is perfect time for an iconic brand to enter the market
It's true, I was so excited as I scrolled down the page and convinced myself that I'd get one just because I loved my RAZR from 2005. But then I got to the $1500 price tag.
Now, I bought a $1350 phone a couple months ago so it's not that I wouldn't pay $1500 for a phone. The problem is everything that this phone is not (and that my other phone is). The folding screen is cool, and this is the perfect application for it. But, I think they're going to have trouble getting $1500 for someone's main phone if it only has one camera lens.
There will no doubt be some diehards, and if they can get the price of this down to typical Android flagship pricing then they might see some traction. But at $1500, it's going to be a very limited market (and maybe that's their goal).
Has it really come to this?
I'd gladly buy a phone with a single mediocre camera as a daily driver if all the other specs are flagship-class (which sadly the Razr's are not) and if it means saving a few hundred bucks off the hardware and R&D of the latest and greatest camera tech.
Am I in the minority now?
