Motorola canceled the Razr 2022 launch event earlier this month amid Chinese geopolitical tensions. After a revised date was set for August 11, the phone has been launched in China. It brings an improved screen, new cameras and a powerful chipset.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Moto Razr 2022, the third iteration of the device.
Motorola Razr 2022 price and specs
Like its predecessor, the Moto Razr 2022 has a main internal OLED display of 6.7 inches. This panel is HDR10+ compatible and features a 144Hz refresh rate. There’s also a new hinge design that helps this panel fold in half when you fold the phone shell.
This time there’s also a punch-hole design for a 32MP front-facing camera on the main display, accessible when the phone is flipped open. Meanwhile, the external screen is the same 2.7-inch 60Hz OLED panel.
The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, making it the first in the Razr series to move out of the Snapdragon 7 series cube into the 8 series. There’s also a 50MP primary sensor paired with a 13 MP secondary ultra-wide sensor.
All of this is backed by a 3500mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Other specs and features include Motorola’s MyUI 4.0 skin with Android 12 underneath, dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, DC dimming, and support for RAW photography.
When folded, the Razr 2022 will be 16.99mm thick, but opening the inner screen will reduce the thickness to 7.62mm. It will also weigh 198 grams.
You can currently pre-order the phone in China from the company’s website, with prices starting at CNY 5999 (roughly Rs 70,884). Motorola is yet to confirm the international availability of the device, so we can’t be sure if you’ll be able to pick one up in India as of now.
