The original Razr model (then styled RAZR), the Razr V3, was a flip phone released in 2004 with a remarkably thin and fashionable look. It became extremely popular, leading to the release of a variety of different Razr models. The line was succeeded by the Motorola Razr2 flip phones in 2007. The Razr later evolved into a line of non-flip devices in 2011, Droid Razr (known simply as the "Motorola RAZR" on non-Verizon networks), bearing design similarities to the originals. Razr was revived again in 2019, this time evolving into all-screen clamshell and foldables.
