Flex It All You Want - Motorola Razr Is Back!

With a revolutionary design, Motorola has successfully recreated their all time best seller form - a foldable device. The screen, that is slightly softer than the one's on our smartphones (unless you have a Razr phone or Galaxy Fold device yourself) can bent all the way to close the smartphone in two equal halves. The new Motorola device brings with it a new way of interacting with your smartphone. Below is a visual that rightly describes the advancement in smartphone industry.

Let's talk about specifications

A Snapdragon 765G processor and 8GB of RAM/256GB of internal storage help the device perform well. Given the combination, it will be able to handle everything that you would throw at it efficiently. It runs on Android 10 out of the box and has all the necessary sensors you might need in your device (including a fingerprint sensor). Surprisingly, it has got 4 microphones on board for sound enhancement.

The latest version is available via Flipkart in India, and sells at a premium price point - Rs. 1,24,999 for the 8/256GB variant. Again, you are not paying for the specification or exceptional performance. YOU ARE PAYING FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY DESIGN.

Get ready to use two displays!

The Motorola Razr has two displays. Once you flip the device close, the device's part in the front has a small 2.7" (600 x 800) gOLED display. You could interact with your device without the need to open it like read messages, answer calls, click selfies, and so on. Utility wise, this is a very nice feature.

Talking about the main display, we get a 6.2" (2142 x 876) pOLED HD screen, with an aspect ratio of 21:9(called Cinemavision). This screen folds itself up. It is a very fulfilling in-hand experience.

A gOLED display is nothing but a substantial amount of glass added to the OLED panel, giving it additional strength. A pOLED display is a plastic added to the OLED panel, giving it flexibility.

Cameras and other features

We get a single-lens primary camera, 48MP (f/1.7), and it uses both dual pixel autofocus and Laser autofocus. Although, you can shoot 4K videos at 60fps, which is quite an upgrade over the first version.

The selfie camera is a tiny 20MPshooter. When the device is close, you can click selfies using the primary camera and the secondary display, giving you that main-sensor quality for your selfies.

The marvelous design comes at certain compromises

The battery capacity is 2800 mAh. While the processor is power efficient, you might have to search for your charger at around 9 PM. The battery supports 20W Turbo-Power, and we also get an 18W fast charger in the box.

For those of you, who are coming across this for the first time, imagine your smartphone. Grab it from the top and the bottom bezels and fold it vertically. Do not do that because the screen on your smartphone is not flexible like the new Motorola Razr. It does take a hit on the display's capacity to withstand rough usage (high-pressure random touches, sharp nails). Again, the amount you would pay for this device makes it very unlikely that it will have to face those circumstances.

This device is undoubtedly a breakthrough

In current times, the smartphone industry is evolving faster than anything is. We saw smartphones with high storage capacities, with mind-blowing camera systems, and even ultra-fast charging. It essentially means that your phone can have a higher storage capacity than your PC. That very smartphone of yours could click images that have higher resolution than a DSLR. Besides, you can see your phone charging up in real-time. For all the tech enthusiasts out there, this must be a great time to be alive!
