The first Razr didn’t have the shine user expect from a phone that required a $1,500 price from the little battery life to the mediocre cameras.
Motorola went behind to the drawing board for a foldable Razr sequence. Simultaneously, the new version looks very much like the original. That is not necessarily a bad thing — as it offers some rather extraordinary changes this time around. In extension to directing some of the complaints critics had about the first foldable, it adds other unique capabilities highlighted by 5G connectivity.
Users still don’t have the chance to put their hands on the new Motorola Razr yet, which will go a long way to ascertaining how effectively Motorola has modified and updated its foldable phone. But from what has been presented so far, the Motorola Razr 5G is making a confident second impression. Pointing that it’s ready to challenge other folding flip phones similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
Price and Availability
The new Razr arrives on October 2, and it will be able to buy the $1,399 phone opened from Motorola itself and Best Buy and B&H Photo. AT&T and T-Mobile will have the Motorola Razr in their offer, too.
The $1,399 price tag for the 5G Motorola Razr is $100 fewer than what Motorola required for the first Razr, as well as a $50 discount on the Galaxy Z Flip 5G. It’s also the exact price as the Microsoft Surface Duo, which has no 5G connectivity at all. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 prevails the most expensive of the foldable phones at $2,000.
Those purchasing the Razr at launch will obtain plenty of deals available. AT&T and T-Mobile are both presenting the device at up to half off if someone comes from another carrier, is starting a new line, or is trading in a device. But even if a user goes the unlocked route, he can still lower the price by $200 at Motorola’s website, B&H, Amazon, and Best Buy.
Design Changes
The previous Motorola Razr was complicated to open with one hand. A remarkable gap arose between the flexible display and frame as the user opened and closed the device. The hinge made a dull creaking sound, and the screen had bulges, lumps, and obvious creases.
It can’t be said for sure that Motorola had paid attention to every one of those concerns, at least until the new Razr comes in for testing. But there are some noticeable enhancements to this version. First begin with the phone’s chin, which is more tapered and not as fat as it used to be. That’s because it no longer houses the phone’s fingerprint sensor; Motorola switched that to the back of the Razr, hiding it under a Motorola logo. It’s an absolute improvement, at least visually.
