Motorola Razr 50 Ultra was launched in India in July and now, almost two months later, it has started announcing the launch of the more accessible Razr 50 variant in India. It is the successor to the Razr 40, which was launched alongside the high-end Razr 40 Ultra last year. The Razr 50 was already unveiled in China with the same name but goes by a different name (Motorola Razr+ 2024 and Razr 2024) in the US market.
Motorola has released a teaser after on his official X channel (formerly Twitter). The post doesn’t give too many details about the upcoming launch, but has an attached video detailing the highlights of the Razr 50.
The clamshell foldable gets a new design with rounded sides, now looking very similar to the ultra-premium Razr 50 Ultra. The main attraction is the new cover display, which has switched from a 1.5-inch strip to a larger 3.6-inch square aspect ratio. This should make it just as usable as the Ultra’s cover display. The model that launched in China had a cover display with a 90Hz refresh rate and is of the pOLED variety.
Above the front display is a striking band that now comes in a variety of textures and finishes. This band is the key design element that sets the device apart from the edge-to-edge display of the ultra-premium model.
The video reveals the various features of the cover display, including the ability to run apps (like on the Ultra models) and even use the primary cameras (built into the display) as a selfie camera for higher-quality selfies or videos.
As for the rest of the specifications we saw in the China and US launches, Motorola’s Razr 50 could feature the same MediaTek Dimensity 7300X SoC. The phone will come in 8GB/12GB RAM variants and 256GB/512GB of internal storage.
The Motorola Razr 50 is expected to feature the same camera setup as the global variant. This would include a 50-megapixel primary camera (OIS) and a 13-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera (with AF). Selfies should be handled by a 32-megapixel camera that will be housed in the 6.9-inch inner-folding display that has a 120Hz refresh rate and is of the LTPO AMOLED variety.
The clamshell foldable will pack a 4,200mAh battery and is said to support 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Razr 50 is also expected to have an IPX8 water-resistance rating, which is another upgrade over the Razr 40’s water-repellent coating.
