After canceling its flagship launch event last week, Motorola has today unveiled its first-ever flagship foldable phone in China. Dubbed the Moto Razr 2022, this smartphone features Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line chipset, a premium build, 50MP cameras, and more of what we’ve come to expect from flagships. That said, let’s look at Moto Razr 2022 specifications before moving to the price and availability details.
Starting with the design, Motorola has finally ditched the large chin we saw on the original Razr and Razr 5G in the past. The company has now chosen to include a larger 6.7-inch Full-HD+ OLED panel on the Moto Razr 2022. This display supports a 144Hz refresh rate, 2400×1080p resolution, 10-bit color, and HDR10+ support. Also, as you might have noticed, this foldable beats the Z Flip 4 and offers the highest refresh rate on a foldable screen yet.
Another important aspect of a foldable phone is the hinge, and well, Motorola has reworked the hinge design to offer a gapless foldable design to its users. Thanks to this design, the display is folded in a teardrop shape when you close the phone, thus, also helping minimize the crease. Moreover, much like Samsung’s Flex Mode, the Moto Razr 2022 can now also be seated on the table in a half position. And this can be used for multitasking, clicking pictures and timelapse videos in tripod mode, and more.
Finally, let’s talk about the cameras as there’s an upgrade on this front as well. The dual-camera system on the outside includes a primary 50MP sensor with OIS and a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 121-degree FOV. The latter also allows you to click macro images at 2.8cm, which is okay. The center-placed punch-hole on the interior features a 32MP sensor.
Moto Razr 2022 has been priced starting at CNY 5,999 (~Rs 70,500) for the 8GB+128GB base variant in China. Offering a larger cover display, flagship performance, and a 50MP dual-camera setup, Motorola massively undercuts the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, which launched at CNY 8,499 in China. There is currently no word on whether the Razr 2022 will find its way to India. So stay tuned for more information.
