When I was in high school, I felt like a badass for owning a Moto Razr. That sleek and slim flip phone looked so elegant that it made you feel like an executive even if you were only a student. Imagine the thrill of answering a phone and dropping it. Nostalgic already?

The American label had difficulty replicating the success of the Razr, and attention for its phones dwindled after the arrival of other phone brands. In 2014, Motorola Mobility, the division that develops mobile devices, was acquired by Lenovo and the attention disappeared.

But Motorola is back and they’re saying, “Hello, Moto!” That’s because they shortened the name to simply Moto, and they unveiled a new series of phones that will soon become as coveted as its iconic Razr.

Its new line of smartphones has exclusive and customizable features that make each phone unique: there’s the Moto Z + Moto Mods, which can be modular; the Moto G family that focuses on user functionality; and the Moto E Power, which is for heavy mobile users.

WheninManila.com attended the Moto launch in the Philippines, and here’s what we found:

Moto Z

The Moto Z is reminiscent of the Razr because of its thinness. But don’t worry about its 5.2mm frame: the Moto Z is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and stainless steel. It also has optical image stabilization and laser autofocus for crisp shots in any light, and ultra-sharp QuadHD detail.
