Introduction
A big cowl display screen and water resistance – would not sound like a lot, however it’s simply what the plain Razr was lacking final yr, and now the Razr 50 will get it. Motorola’s vanilla clamshell foldable takes issues a notch up, turning it into one other viable different to the Galaxy Z Flips.
As with different Motorolas, it is value declaring some nomenclature peculiarities. The Razr 50 is the identify for the worldwide mannequin, and it is being offered roughly unchanged below the Razr 2024 moniker within the US. Since we’ve got a Razr 50 unit in our fingers, that is the identify we’ll be utilizing all through the overview, however our findings must be equally relevant to the motorola razr (2024).
Motorola Razr 50 • Motorola razr 2024
Okay, again to what’s new on the Razr 50. The telephone will get the Razr 40 Extremely’s cowl show – in measurement and proportions at the least, if not in refresh charge. Whereas the Razr 40 solely had a tiny panel on the skin, the 50 will get the entire cowl display screen expertise – with full-blown apps and correct digicam viewfinder.
The opposite large factor is the IPX8 water resistance – increasingly more foldables at the moment are rated for submersion and so too is the Razr 50. The Galaxies’ main promoting factors are getting fewer.
There are a handful of different modifications, however none is all that main. The principle digicam is now 50MP as a substitute of 64MP, however the sensor measurement stays the identical, so it isn’t precisely a downgrade. The chipset is one other such facet step – a Dimensity 7300X instead of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 would not fairly qualify to be referred to as an improve. Maybe a sure demographic will respect the quicker wi-fi charging (15W vs. the previous mannequin’s 5W), however the unboxing part beneath will reveal one other improvement on this basic space that is not essentially for the higher.

Motorola Razr 50 unboxing
The Motorola Razr 50 arrives in a black cardboard field that is even longer than the already fairly tall unfolded Razr. Positive sufficient, the packaging inside is scented – typical Motorola.
The notable omission from the contents is a charger – the earlier mannequin had one within the field, and this yr’s 50 Extremely’s bundle additionally contained an adapter. There’s nonetheless a USB-C cable right here, although.
Similar to the Extremely, the Razr 50’s package deal additionally features a protecting case in a colour that matches the telephone, full with a carrying strap. The case must be hooked up to the telephone with the adhesive strips – in any other case, it will not keep securely on it.
We’re inclined to assume that this accent will not be to lots of people’s tastes, and it makes a bit extra sense to be offered individually fairly than being included with each Razr. Notably as the facility adapter obtained axed – the entire scenario is rubbing us the incorrect means.
