Motorola was one of the first companies to launch a foldable smartphone, but we haven’t heard anything in the nearly 1.5 years since the Moto Razr and its 5G variant came to be. The company has now been granted a patent by WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation) for another foldable phone - tall and narrow, like the Razr, but the screen is on the outside and the foldable display wraps around it and creates a dual-screen device when folded. The patent reveals a small island is left on top of the phone for the camera setup, meaning the bottom part of the screen will be...
