It's a Motorola badge on a Lenovo phone. That might mean it's better, I don't know.
Motorola is gone:
1) Semiconductors split to two companies.
2) Domestic Radios long gone.
3) Not sure who bought the two way radio business.
4) Infrastructure sold to Nokia (they only sold Phone liabilities to MS, kept all IP and name, phone badge licenced out. Nokia still does other stuff)
5) Phone division sold to Google / Alphabet, who kept IP and sold or licensed (not sure which) name for phones only to Lenovo.

So there is zero connection between this phone and older actually Motorola phones.

IMO two separate displays would be better, this is a likely fragile gimmick. The Samsung, OTH is an attempt at a tablet that folds into your pocket.

£1,500 is silly to spend on a phone, but then it's madness buying €1000 Apple phone that can ONLY use rechargeable wireless buds. The Apple ones are €250 in Ireland and can't be adjusted for your ear, nor have the battery replaced. You can get better sounding corded earbuds, with a mic, for €12. They have replaceable & interchangeable outers to suit your ear.

You can still get real flip phones for people that only want to text & call. Or a smartphone at 1/10th the price of this Motorola branded Lenovo.
