The Motorola Razr name has been around for years, but in 2019 the company revitalized its classic flip phone with a folding display. Now, the Razr 2022 will take on the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi and Huawei in the foldable phone market.
While it’s similar to the 2022 Razr 5G, it comes with a series of design tweaks and hardware upgrades — one of which you won’t find on any other folding phone. Here’s everything you need to know about the Razr 2022, so check it out!
When is the Motorola Razr 2022 release date?
Launching in China on August 15, other markets have yet to be confirmed.
For now, the Razr 2022 is exclusive to China, but is expected to launch in other markets in the coming months. Considering that other Razr models, including the original Motorola Razr, have been sold worldwide, it’s understandable to assume the same is true for the latest model.
A launch outside of China looks like it could happen soon. Evan Blass has released a series of Razr 2022 images with an English interface.
What are the Motorola Razr 2022 specs?
Updated square design without chin, 6.7-inch OLED 144Hz screen, 2.7-inch front screen, 50Mp main camera, Snapdragon 8+ 1st generation, up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Now that the phone is officially announced, we have all the specs and other details you need.
Starting with the screen, as rumored, the inside is a 6.7-inch P-OLED. That means the iconic chin design no longer fits on the larger monitor. It’s a 10-bit panel that supports HDR10+, DC dimming, and a 144Hz refresh rate; that’s higher than the predicted 120Hz, making it the highest refresh rate of any foldable device to date.
The gapless folding design minimizes creases, and the inner teardrop shape has a 3.3mm radius when the phone is closed.
The Razr’s hinge design means it can stay open in different positions, and the screen splits in two to perform different tasks. This also allows the camera to be used when the phone is placed on a flat surface in “tripod” mode.
Moving on to the outer screen, this still seems to be 2.7 inches and offers 9 widgets for different tasks, and of course for selfies.
For the aforementioned selfies, you’ll be able to use the 50Mp main camera with OIS. It has a 1/1.55-inch sensor with 1.0-micron pixels (2.0-micron, 4-in-1 binning). There’s also a 13Mp ultra-wide lens with a 121-degree field of view and autofocus, which means it can handle macro shots at a distance of 2.8cm.
Open the Razr 2022 and there’s a hole-punch 32Mp camera available. After moving to internal specs and mid-range chips, Motorola opted for the top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 to give the phone either 8 or 12GB of RAM alone. Then there’s 128, 256, or 512GB of storage, with the largest pair having just 12GB of RAM.
Speaking of the battery, we’re happy to report that it’s increased to 3500mAh and charges faster, too, at 33W. In terms of connectivity, you get dual SIM, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, and USB-C ports. Once again, there’s a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
Finally, the software comes in the form of Android 12 with Motorola’s MyUI 4.0 skin. This supports Ready For 3.5, which means users can connect it to an external monitor for a desktop experience.
