Moto Razr 2022 Foldable: Motorola today debuted its first-ever flagship foldable phone in China, following the cancellation of its flagship launch event last week. The Moto Razr 2022 includes Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line CPU, a luxury construction, 50MP cameras, and everything else we’ve come to expect from flagships.
Moto Razr 2022 Details
Beginning with the appearance, Motorola has finally done away with the protruding chin that was seen on the first Razr and the Razr 5G in the past. The Moto Razr 2022 now boasts a bigger 6.7-inch Full-HD+ OLED display thanks to a decision made by the manufacturer. The 144Hz frame rate, 24001080p resolution, 10-bit colour, and HDR10+ compatibility are all supported by this panel. Additionally, as you may have observed, this foldable screen delivers the best refresh rate on a foldable screen yet, outperforming the Z Flip 4.
The hinge is another crucial part of a foldable phone, and Motorola has updated the hinge design to provide its consumers with a gapless folding design. When you close the phone, the display folds into a teardrop form, reducing the wrinkle. Furthermore, similar to Samsung’s Flex Mode, the Razr 2022 may now be sat on the table in a half posture. This may also be used for multitasking, taking images and timelapse recordings in tripod mode, and more.
Not just that. The Razr 2022 significantly outperforms the Z Flip 4 in one area, and that area is the outside display. The Z Flip 4 has a tiny 1.9-inch panel right close to the cameras, while Motorola has a bigger, more practical 2.7-inch cover display. You may swipe between 9 distinct widget panels on its 800 x 573 resolution AMOLED display. They display the weather, fitness objectives, camera, calls, notifications, and more. Instead of repeatedly opening the phone, you can access some programs and messages via the cover display.
Next, Motorola produced a true flagship phone after taking its foldable project seriously. A Qualcomm mid-range SoC is no longer used to power the Razr foldable (Snapdragon 765G on OG Moto Razr). Instead, the Moto Razr 2022 has up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage, and it is powered by the most recent Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPU. With 33W fast-charging capabilities, you also get a little 3,500mAh battery that is likely to have battery life concerns. Out of the box, the gadget runs Android 12.
Let’s talk about the cameras last because they have also received an improvement. A 50MP primary sensor with OIS and a 13MP ultra-wide camera with a 121-degree FOV make up the outside dual-camera system. The latter also enables you to take acceptable macro photos at 2.8 cm. A 32MP sensor is located within the inside punch-hole in the middle.
Razr 2022 Price and availability
In China, the Moto Razr 2022 starts at CNY 5,999 (Rs 70,500) for the 8GB+128GB basic model. Motorola significantly undercuts the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, which was released in China at CNY 8,499, by providing a bigger cover display, premium performance, and a 50MP dual-camera configuration. There is no information yet on whether the Razr 2022 will be available in India. So keep tuned for additional details.
