Remember the days when a sleek, fashionable Motorola Razr was the absolute epitome of cool? If you had a pink one, even better. Well, those days might not be so far away anymoreâMotorola just released a YouTube video teasing the comeback of the phones on June 9.
The video is nostalgic throwback to what seems to be a ’90s or early â00s high school, complete with popular girls, jocks, and an emo guy with a rose in his locker. And of course, theyâre all using Razrs. Itâs fun to watch, but it doesnât really explain how the phones will fit into our smartphone-obsessed future.
Adele famously used a flip phone in her âHelloâ video late last year, but people were talking about their comeback even before that. As Emily Peck of the Huffington Post argued, theyâre cheap, hard to break, and a good way to stay a little bit connected without totally dropping off the grid. People are tired of feeling addicted to their devices, and thereâs nothing better for that addiction than being forced to type â44 *pause* 4â to say âHi.â
Get excitedâEverything old is new again, especially your middle school cell phone!
