Motorola Rolls Out Seven W-Series Phones

Motorola significantly expanded its cell-phone lineup on Thursday with the release of seven new W-series phones aimed at the value segment. The W156, W160, W175, W180, W206, W213, and W377 are intended to bring high-end features to lower price points for first-time and beginning cell users.

At the top of the new W line will be the W377, a clamshell-style phone which includes an integrated FM radio and MP3 ringtones, plus VGA camera, Bluetooth capability and preloaded games. The candy-bar-style W213 will get similar features minus the camera, while stepping down another rung to the W206 will remove the FM radio from the feature set.

The W175 and W180 are meant for business, with extended battery life to keep long conversations going (offering up to 590 minutes of talk time), and Motorola’s CrystalTalk voice optimization. The W180 also gets an FM Radio.

Finally, the W156 and W160 were designed for ease of use, with large black-and-white displays and an interface Motorola claims is intuitive. The W160 will get an FM radio, and both models get the same impressive battery life as the W175 and W180.

Motorola has not yet announced pricing for the new models, but the phones will be released in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Italian retailer Deal N Tech has leaked new information about the upcoming Motorola Razr 50 Ultra foldable phone — including color and storage options, as well as pricing details in Europe. The phone, a successor to the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra/Motorola Razr Plus, has no release date yet, but is expected very soon.

According to the report by Deal N Tech, the new phone will be priced at 1,200 euros (approximately $1,292) in Europe for a 512GB storage variant with 12GB of RAM. It is worth noting that the previous model was launched in 2023 at the same price, but it had a 256GB storage capacity and 8GB of RAM. A previous rumor also noted that the new phone would be available with 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM.

If you have your heart set on a phone with a stylus, you’re probably familiar with Samsung devices like the Galaxy S24 Ultra and the previous Galaxy S23 Ultra. But there is another company out there that ships phones with a stylus — Motorola. Unlike Samsung’s flagship, the new Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) won’t break the bank thanks to its $400 starting price in the U.S.

The Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) is the latest in a series of midrange stylus-equipped phones that Motorola started releasing in 2020. The latest model keeps up with its predecessors with solid midrange capabilities and, as the name indicates, support for 5G.
