2020’s Motorola is a company of comebacks. It re-entered the premium and upper mid-range smartphone market with a slew of new devices for the first time in years. It bought back the iconic 2004 Motorola Razr and, after that struggled with display, pricing and performance issues, it bought out another Razr seven months later.
