The flip phone making a comeback | LinkedIn
The iconic Motorola Razr is back, according to The Wall Street Journal. The once-popular flip phone — cast aside with the 2007 introduction of Apple’s iPhone — is being reinvented as a smart phone with a foldable screen and a $1,500 price tag, according to those familiar with the matter. Lenovo, in partnership with Verizon, could be set to launch the upgraded Razr as soon as February. Niche products are becoming increasingly popular as consumers hold onto their smartphones for longer, notes the Journal.

More than 750 vehicles are being exhibited at Detroit's annual show.
