It looks like Motorola is going to take another crack at reviving the Moto Razr. Two sources now say a second-gen Moto Razr reboot is on the way, after the embarrassing public flop of the first-gen Razr reboot.

The first source is straight from Lenovo, Motorola's parent company. During a discussion on the Reframed Tech podcast, Lenovo South Africa General Manager Thibault Dousson said "a new iteration" of the Moto Razr was on the way "in September, I think." That's not really the normal way to announce a new product, but it would not be the first time a Lenovo executive has taken a personal approach to product news.

Source #2 is XDA Developers, which, after nailing the specs for the first-gen Razr months ahead of launch, has a set of specs for the second-gen Razr that promise a much higher-end device.
