Motorola Razr 2019

Motorola unveiled Moto Razr that highlights the nostalgia of the good old flip days. Moto Razr has a foldable display and a unique hinge that keeps the crease to a minimum. But, it’s quite a pricey phone and the specs don’t make as spectacular read. Let’s discuss more about the Moto Razr and help you decide if this is a phone that you should buy.

Design and Display

Moto Razr is a flip phone that has a plastic body. It’s ergonomically designed body has 172mm height and only 6.9mm thickness which makes it handy and easy to carry with 205 grams of weight.

In spite of being a flagship phone, it operates on an average chipset which is likely to upset many buyers. You can benefit from its useful sensors like ambient light sensor, proximity, gyroscope, SAR sensor, and accelerometer.

Battery and storage

Moto Razr has ample 128GB internal storage. But, it doesn’t have any external card support which limits the storage option, if you ever run out of space.

Connectivity

Moto Razr is an expensive phone that features average specification and an average battery. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, in comparison, has more powerful hardware and costs lesser. The Moto Razr still has the advantage of a bigger secondary screen and of a hinge that keeps the fold-crease minimal, but most users looking for a fancy foldable flip phone should be better off with the Galaxy Z Flip.
