At this point, there are not a few companies that prefer folding ones. One of the first to release a commercial model was Motorola with a revival of the legendary Razr (it will apparently be returning in high-end form shortly) and it’s exactly Motorola that interests us today, as it leaked. Works on first rollable mobile phone.

The source of the leak is Evan Blass (aka EvLeaks), one of the most reputable leakers in the smartphone world. According to the leak, this device is at a very early stage of development and its codename is “felixLittle is known about him, but there are other interesting things too.

Key: fits in your pocket

There are two directions in the field of folding mobile phones: making a large mobile phone even bigger (for example Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3) and making a regular mobile phone more compact and portable. That was Motorola’s offer with its Razr, and looks like it will continue to happen with the roller.

The rollable models/concepts we’ve seen so far, seeing the OPPO X 2021 and LG Rollable (which will never happen anymore) are expanding sideways. It’s the big cell phones that are growing. Meanwhile “Felix” will expand verticallyProvides EvLeaks.

Motorola “Felix” will expand upwards, while OPPO X 2021 will expand sideways.

According to Blass, the “Felix’s” motorized screen is wound on a pivot at the bottom and rear. It will scroll up, “about a third of your screen“, so that the device will not be wider, but taller.

This opens up a few options, but the most interesting is that the phone is more square when in compact form and when opened it becomes a standard size mobile phone. In this way, the pocket would occupy less space in the pocket and would integrate with Motorola’s philosophy of portability.

In any case, EvLeaks says the device is in an early stage of development and since Motorola doesn’t have it, does not have a working prototype, therefore, if it is released it will take a year or more to arrive. we will have to wait.
