Motorola has released the Razr 50, a device that rivals the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and Oppo Find N3 Flip head-to-head thanks to its remarkable 3.6-inch cover display. The smartphone attempts to provide cutting-edge technology with a sleek and beautiful appearance, making it a far more accessible and cheap model than its elder sister, the Razr 50 Ultra. Therefore, among many other things, we will go further into the device’s design, performance, and battery life in this review.

Create

The Motorola Razr 50 has a 400,000-fold Hinge rating, a stylish and practical design, and a vegan leather back that provides the new model with a luxurious feel and a pleasant grip. It can survive up to 1.5 meters of water submersion for about 30 minutes thanks to its IPX8 certification. Razr 50’s 3.6-inch cover display—which comes in Spritz Orange, Beach Sand, and Koala Grey—is a sophisticated improvement over Razr 40’s 1.5-inch screen, allowing users to run a variety of programs straight from the cover.

Present

The phone has a 6.9-inch foldable LTPO AMOLED inner display that has vivid colors and accurate brightness. The screen’s brightness of 1582 nits (in HBM) guarantees legibility for users even in intense sunshine. Despite the phone’s capability for a 90 Hz refresh rate, the Always On Display (AOD) feature causes the refresh rate to drop to 60 Hz, which reduces battery life. The term “AOD” describes a function that lets users see critical data even while their phone is locked. Among other things, AOD shows the battery %, time, date, and weather. Regarding the competition, Netflix does not provide HDR playback on the Razr 50.

Protecting Razr 50 from scratches while preserving its robustness is made possible with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

Achievement

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor-powered Motorola Razr 50 is facing competition from other smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy ZFlip6 and the OPPO Find N3 Flip, which feature more powerful internals. Surprisingly, the Razr 50 finds it difficult to compete in the benchmark tests, even against the Realme GT 6. There are apparent signs of a performance disparity during routine jobs as well as signs of lagging during labor-intensive procedures like taking pictures and videos. Indeed, performance suffers greatly during gaming sessions, with noticeable frame dips.

The Razr 50 is powered by Hello UI, a user-friendly operating system. A seamless UI combined with notable features like Moto Gestures and Smart Connect offers consumers an exceptional experience.

Regarding artificial intelligence, the gadget has Google Photos’ AI capabilities and Gemini integration, which let people experiment with technology without restriction. Therefore, even if the phone’s speed may be improved, the Razr 50 is mostly maintained by its AI functions and software optimization.

Snapshot

The gadget has a 50 MP main camera with pixel PDF and optical image stabilization (OIS), which allows it to take detailed and vibrant pictures in strong light. Few obtained photographs, nevertheless, could seem too sharpened. Even with its 2X in-sensor zoom, it may still produce colors that seem flat. The ultrawide camera struggles to capture sharpness and detail, particularly in dimly lit areas and corners.

While the quality in portrait mode is bright, it has issues with edge recognition and color accuracy. Users may notice an unnatural-looking reddish or yellowish skin tone while taking images. The main camera does well in low light, capturing crisp shots with correct color, while the ultrawide camera struggles with noise and lens flare in low light.

The primary camera produces better photographs than the front camera when it comes to snapping selfies. Notably, both front and back cameras can record 4K video at 30 frames per second, allowing users to shoot high-resolution footage.

Battery Life

Under intensive use, consumers may anticipate that the 4,200 mAh battery would last 4-5 hours. The device’s positive durability was shown by its 14-hour and 1-minute performance under PCMark’s Life Test.

The Razr 50 takes around an hour and three minutes to completely charge using a 30 W fast charger. Furthermore, the gadget provides 15W wireless charging.

Conclusion & Cost

The tablet, which has a stunning 3.6-inch cover display and a sleek and attractive appearance, is reasonably priced at ₹64,999 for those who are new to foldable technology. Unfortunately, because of the limitations of the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X CPU when used regularly, the Motorola Razr 50’s performance has fallen short of expectations. The camera does a good job in most situations; however, it has trouble with color accuracy. In summary, the Razr 50 is a great option for those hoping to get a useful foldable phone at a more affordable price.
