So, while Motorola doesn't actually mention this is an event to present an updated Razr smartphone, that statement and animation of something folding closed is a heavy enough hint to make it pretty certain. Based on the caption, it's safe to assume that this announcement will most likely be for a successor to the 2019 Motorola Razr .

- August 14, 2020
The Geekbench listing for Samsung SM-G780F that is believed to be the Indian variant of Samsung Galaxy S20 Fan Edition suggests the presence of Exynos 990 SoC in the phone.

Here is 35 Minutes of Microsoft's Surface Duo in Action
- August 14, 2020
What is different this time though is that there is only a single camera on the Surface Duo, which can be used both for video calls and as a main camera. It runs on Android 10 out of the box with the custom Microsoft Surface Duo UI on the top.
