The foldable phone revolution shows no signs of stopping with another benable device about to arrive in UK stores. Motorola first rebooted its iconic Razr phone back in 2020 and it has since had numerous upgrades including a totally new look last year. Now there's another reboot coming to this popular smartphone with Motorola announcing the launch of two 2024 models which are launching soon.
The most of impressive of the pair is the Motorola Razr 50 ultra which now gets a bigger 4-inch front display that covers the entire case. As a quick comparison, the Galaxy Z Flip5 only manages to squeeze a 3.4-inch display into its front panel.
From Motorola's front display, you can answer calls, play games, reply to messages and get your music playlists started. If you do feel the need for something more expansive you can open things up to reveal a giant 6.9” pOLED display which is perfect for a proper night of gaming or a quick boxset binge.
Along with improved displays, the Motorola Razr 50 ultra also gets a better dual-lens camera which pokes through the cover screen like a pair of eyes. Motorola is promising its latest and greatest snapper is the "best Razr camera technology yet."
Not only does it feature a 50MP main lens but also the option to shoot wide-angle and close-ups thanks to its 2X zoom. AI is included with this intelligence able to instantly spruce up and edit the family photos without you needing a degree in Photoshop.
This new camera also offers improved image stabilisation, an Action Shot mode and Long Exposure for added special effects.
Thanks to the Razr's clamshell design, this device can also stand on its own allowing users to shoot ultimate selfies without needing to hold the phone in their hands.
Despite being a foldable, the new Razr is fully waterproof and is covered in Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for added protection.
As we mentioned before, there's AI built in and it does more than just retouch your photos. Both models also come with Google 's Gemini app for new AI features that link up with your Google services, as well as Moto's own Moto AI for things like creating unique wallpapers.
They’re coated in either vegan leather or vegan suede on the back in several eye-catching colours.
The more impressive Ultra packs the powerful 8s Gen 3 mobile platform from Qualcomm under its shell - that standard Motorola Razr 50 model - with smaller cover screen - gets a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chip.
If you fancy a flip for your next phone, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra goes on sale on 26 June and will cost £999 - £50 less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. The Razr 50 will cost £799 and will be available later in July.
Just beware! Samsung could reboot its range of foldables next month so it might be worth holding on to see how the Korean tech giant responds. Invites have just been sent out for an Unpacked event on July 10 where we expect to see new Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip call makers unleashed.
