Motorola's 5G phone may be a first, but a foldable Razr is a more important win

From CNET: Motorola can boast about making the first commercial phone running on a live 5G network, but I'd bet money that its rumored foldable update to the iconic Razr phone will be leave the most lasting mark. Both are key devices in 2019's mobile story, a landscape that's in the midst of tremendous evolution.

5G is the next-generation data network poised to bring us tremendous speeds and open up a world of activities that haven't before been possible on our phones. Foldable devices such as the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X seek to deliver a larger screen in a much smaller package, with displays that actually fold on themselves without leaving an unsightly border between two separate screens. And yes, 5G and foldable phones can (and will) intersect.

So Motorola technically has two potential wins on its hands: There's the Moto Z3 with its separate 5G Moto Mod that's a real, affordable phone you can buy for a real 5G network. And then there's the revamped Motorola Razr, which is surrounded by a cloud of rumor and speculation.
