Shortly after Samsung unveiled its flip and foldable devices, Motorola has finally updated its 2022 Motorola Razr foldable smartphone after two years. The down side of its release is that it’s a China-exclusive device, at least for now.
The Motorola 2022 Razr offers a larger main screen, an extra camera, and Qualcomm’s latest and greatest chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. There’s also a new Flex View mode so you can open the screen halfway and use the phone hands-free. Kind of reminds us of Samsung’s current Flip foldable offering.
Other specs of the Motorola 2022 Razr, the phone runs Android and includes an upgraded main camera with 50 megapixels and optical stabilization plus a new 13-megapixel ultrawide. The main screen is a 6.7-inch OLED with a 144Hz refresh rate. It outdoes the Galaxy Z Flip 4 with a bigger 2.7-inch cover screen — while the Flip’s is a much smaller 1.9 inches, making it more of an at-a-glance display. With 2.7 inches, the Razr’s screen can offer a lot more, including a full notification interface.

It’s a shame that the Motorola 2022 Razr isn’t getting a wider release because it looks like it improves on some of the issues with the 2020 Razr — including the price. The 2022 Razr starts at about $900 USD (UGX 3.5 million) before taxes. That’s about $100 cheaper than the Z Flip 4 and much less expensive than the $1,399 2020 Razr.
