When Motorola Launches its latest in the foldable game, it wasn’t just about pushing performance — it was about bringing back the flip-phone magic in a way that feels both nostalgic and cutting edge. Enter the Motorola Moto Razr 50, a foldable that’s not screaming “flagship behemoth,” but whispering “sleek, smart, and stylish” in all the right tones.
The Motorola Moto Razr 50 marks a clever step forward for Motorola 5G, offering users a large foldable display, modern camera chops, and 5G connectivity — all while keeping things surprisingly affordable in the world of foldables.
The Design & Display: Big, Bright, and Built to Fold
Motorola 5G: One of the most striking things about the Razr 50 is how it balances size with portability. Open it, and you get a 6.9‑inch FHD+ foldable pOLED LTPO screen with a buttery-smooth 120 Hz refresh rate. Motorola Moto Razr 50 That inner display can hit a peak brightness of 3,000 nits — making it bright enough for outdoor use.
When the phone is folded, you still have a 3.6-inch external pOLED cover display that’s very usable, with a 90 Hz refresh rate and up to 1,700 nits brightness.
The build quality feels premium: there’s a 6000‑series aluminum frame, vegan leather on some color variants, and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Plus, it’s rated IPX8 for water resistance, which means a little splash won’t harm the device.
In short, Motorola Launches this foldable with design smarts — not just for show, but for real-world use.
Under the Hood: Performance That Keeps It Real
The heart of the Razr 50 is the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X, a 4nm chip that punches way above its weight for a flip device. Paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, this phone is ready for everyday use, whether you’re flipping between apps, streaming, or snapping photos.
On the software front, it ships with Android 14 (with Motorola’s Hello UI), and Motorola has promised 3 years of Android updates plus 4 years of security patches. This commitment signals how seriously Motorola Launches this device not just as a novelty, but as a long-term player.
Connectivity is solid too: the Razr 50 supports 5G, giving you massive speeds on compatible networks. There’s also Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6E, and dual SIM (eSIM + nano), so it’s ready for modern-day multitaskers.
Camera Setup: More Than Just a Pretty Fold
Don’t let the slim profile fool you — Motorola Launches didn’t skimp on cameras. On the outer shell, there’s a dual-camera setup: a 50 MP main sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization) and a 13 MP ultrawide lens. Motorola Moto Razr 50 For selfies, the inner 6.9-inch screen hides a 32 MP front camera, which is more than capable of delivering crisp self-portraits or video calls.
Motorola also leans into AI features for photography, making everyday captures better without overcomplicating things.
Battery Life & Charging: Flip Friendly
Battery is a common concern for foldables — how do you keep huge screens powered without making the phone a brick? The Razr 50 handles this with a 4,200 mAh cell. It’s not the biggest battery out there, but paired with efficient hardware and software, it’s more than decent for a day’s use if you’re not going crazy on games.
Charging is also flexible: 33 W wired fast charging and 15 W wireless charging are on board, so you can juice up in a way that suits your routine.
Durability & Build: Sturdy Enough for Real Life
One worry people often have about foldables is hinge durability — but Motorola Launches says the Razr 50 has been tested for over 400,000 folds. That’s a reassuring number, especially for users who are curious about flip phones’ long-term wear and tear.
The water resistance (IPX8) adds an extra layer of confidence, and the Gorilla Glass Victus on the main screen makes it tougher than you might expect.
Software Experience: Smart, Minimal & Helpful
Motorola has kept its UI pretty clean. The Hello UI on top of Android 14 doesn’t feel cluttered or overly commercial. Users get nifty Moto gestures, foldable-specific features, and the flexibility of Android with a near-stock feel.
Motorola Launches this foldable with some extras: a limited-time subscription to AI tools and additional cloud storage as part of its early-bird perks — a nice bonus for early adopters.
Real-World Usage: What It’s Like to Use the Razr 50 Day to Day
Using the Razr 50 feels like a throwback to the iconic flip phones, but with 21st-century muscles. You can unfold to binge videos on the large display, or use the outer screen to check notifications or snap a quick photo without opening the phone.

Pricing & Value: Affordable Foldable Power
