Did You Know?

A matte black version of the original Motorola Razr was included in every gift bag for guests at the 77th Academy Awards in 2005.

HIP TO BE FLIPPED

P ulling on the nostalgia strings as well as offering something a little more edgy than a rectangle, the rebooted Motorola Razr isn’t just about the iconic design. Deceptively concise in its design, the reduced real estate once it’s closed makes it a pocket friendly option! However, once pulled out and flipped, a generous 6.2 - inch OLED screen reveals your standard smartphone surface area, fitted at the top with a 16 megapixel camera. Snap it shut like a zippo and a 2.7 - inch screen allows users to control music playback and access the clock. It’s slim, it’s cool, and it’s different from what everyone else is holding in their hand. With a nod to its heritage, the 21st century Motorola Razr has broken with convention for a second time!

What we love With its thin design and portability when closed, the Motorola Razr is the perfect size for your pocket. And the feel of that flip is simply entrancing!

BANG FOR YOUR MOBILE BUCK

F or some of us, pouching the premium end of smartphones in the back pocket isn’t a priority. The entry level VivoY30 has literally just touched down in JB stores and is loaded with enough features to cater for those unwilling to drop $1500+ on a handset. That doesn’t mean the Y30 is a lacklustre offering – far from it. Out of the box, this slick-looking smartphone comes with the Andoid 10 operating system, a 6.47-inch LCD touchscreen, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage that can be bumped up to 512GB with an SD card. Four rear cameras have your photos covered, and it also features a fingerprint sensor.

What we love For an entry level smartphone it ticks all the feature boxes and you’ll still have plenty of change left in your pocket.
