Motorola Razr Fold and smart glasses show how phones can replace handheld screens

The Motorola Razr Fold is quietly showing a different route for mobile gaming hardware: use the phone as the computer, and smart glasses as the screen. Android Central’s hands-on with the Razr Fold and Viture Beast glasses highlights Motorola Smart Connect, which opens a special interface when glasses are connected. Instead of just mirroring the phone, it can launch desktop, TV, video-call or gaming modes, with the phone screen acting as a trackpad.

The gaming angle is especially interesting because the article notes that GameHub can be loaded to play Steam games natively on the Razr Fold. This will not replace dedicated handhelds for everyone, but it points to a real trend: phones, XR glasses, controllers and desktop modes are beginning to compete with laptops and handheld PCs for travel gaming setups.
