Less than one year after the launch of the first Motorola RAZR foldable phone, the Lenovo-owned brand has now launched the new RAZR. This launch comes after months of waves of leaks and rumors.

The first-gen return of the Motorola RAZR came with issues that the company apparently fixed in this second-gen device. Even though this device looks a lot like the one launched months ago, it is quite different. The RAZR 2020 features a variety of improvements and upgrades.

The design of the new Motorola RAZR is somewhat sleeker than that of the one released months ago. It sports a 6.2-inch POLED display and a 2.7-inch external cover display. According to Motorola, the new hinge design can withstand up to 200,000 folds and unfolds. In terms of camera, it comes with a 48MP camera system with faster autofocus and improved low-light shots. Inside the device is a 20MP camera.



One of the most notable upgrades in the new RAZR is the support for 5G networks. It achieves this using the Snapdragon 765G chipset, the same chip used in the Motorola Edge and the LG Q92. A lot of people expected the phone to launch with the flagship Snapdragon 865 chip instead, considering its price tag of $1,400. The phone comes with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.

The new Motorola RAZR may not be totally water-resistant. In fact, it does not come with an official IP water-resistance rating. This is probably due to its hinge and foldable nature. However, to prevent damage from light water exposure, Motorola added a water-repellent coating inside and out.

The phone is powered by a 2,800mAh battery. This is an improvement over the older RAZR’s 2,510mAh battery, but we will have to see if that is good enough for the 5G support. It comes with a 15w charger. The company claims that it is an “all-day” battery. In due course, we will find out if that is indeed true.

2800mAh is an ALL DAY BATTERY....?

Lol. That's what they said. Maybe there's a special technology they're not telling us about. Or maybe the believe an everyday use only involves scrolling through pictures in the Gallery for 24 hours.
