Motorola hits back at claims its new foldable Razr will only last a year

Motorola has hit back at claims that its resurrected Razr can only withstand 27,000 folds before showing signs of damage. CNET conducted a durability test with the new foldable phone last week with a FoldBot and after thousands of rapid folds and just three hours, the Razr's hinge was failing and not fully closing the foldable device. However, the US smartphone-maker says the robot'put undue stress on the hinge' and did not allow the foldable phone to'open and close as intended', the firm told Engadget in a statement. Motorola conducted its own tests with a robot it claims folds the phone properly and revealed users should get'years of use.' In a statement to Engadget, Motorola said: 'razr is a unique smartphone, featuring a dynamic clamshell folding system unlike any device on the market.
