With a 165Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of up to 3000 nits, users can run full apps, reply to messages, and even play games without unfolding the device. Motorola has also added deeper customisation, including interactive panels, widgets, and video wallpapers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1735\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Hands-free interaction is another notable addition.
