The Motorola Razr series has carved a niche for itself in the foldable smartphone market over the past few years. The handsets in this lineup feature a unique folding design language, evoking nostalgia for the classic Razr phones. The Motorola Razr 40 Ultra phone hit the market last year, and its successor, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra model, is reportedly in the works. Recent online reports and certifications have given an early idea of ​​what to expect from this upcoming foldable phone. Let's take a look at the possible features of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra phone.
1. Design and build
Based on the leaked images, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is expected to retain the same clamshell design as its predecessor. The phone will likely have a large foldable display on the inside and a secondary display on the outer shell. While the overall design is not expected to see any major changes, there may be some refinements to the hinge and bezel. The number of hinge components could be reduced, potentially offering a smoother folding experience and a more compact design when folded. Also, slim bezels around the main display can improve the viewing experience. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is expected to come in Blue, Orange and Green colors.
2. Display
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is likely to come with a larger foldable display than the Razer 40 Ultra. It will have a 6.9-inch primary display with folding LTPO POLED technology. This technology offers a balance between refresh rate and power efficiency, which will offer smoother visuals and longer battery life. The phone's refresh rate is likely to be the same as the Razer 40 Ultra, offering a wide range of 1Hz to 165Hz for an adaptive experience.
On the other hand, the size of the secondary display on the outer shell of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra handset is expected to be similar to its predecessor's cover screen, which came with a 3.6-inch display. This display allows quick access to notifications, music controls and other functionalities without unfolding the phone. Software improvements may be implemented to increase the usability of the secondary display for multitasking.
3. Performance and storage
As the flagship foldable, the Razr 50 Ultra is expected to come with a powerful processor. While its name is yet to be confirmed, it is speculated that the phone could be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or 8s Gen 3 processor. It will offer a significant improvement over the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset found in the Razr 40 Ultra model in terms of performance. The base variant of the phone will get 12GB of RAM, which is an upgrade over the previous model. The storage capacity is also expected to see an improvement, with the base variant getting 512GB of storage. Hence, it will be a good option for users who need more storage space for apps, photos and videos.
4. the camera
Not much information is available about the camera setup of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. The Razr 40 Ultra features a dual-camera system on the back with a 12-megapixel primary sensor and a 13-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra can also see an upgrade in the camera department. It will likely add a higher resolution primary camera or a telephoto lens with improved zoom capabilities. An improvement can also be seen in the resolution of the front-facing camera for selfies.
- Battery and charging
The battery capacity of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra phone has not been revealed yet. However, considering the power demands of a large folding display and a powerful processor, it could have a battery similar to or slightly larger than the Razr 40 Ultra's 3,800 mAh battery. Its fast charging capability may remain the same with support for at least 30W wired charging. The phone may also feature wireless charging, though the charging speed is not yet known.
- software
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra phone is expected to launch with the latest Android 14 operating system. Motorola could add its own custom user interface on top, potentially optimizing for the foldable form factor and offering better integration with secondary displays.
- Price and Availability
The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is likely to be priced the same as its predecessor in the Eurozone, launching at 1,200 Euros (roughly Rs. 1,08,000). However, US prices are likely to be lower. With storage capacity up from 256GB to 512GB on the base variant, the Razr 50 Ultra could be more value-for-money. The phone is expected to be launched by June-July.
