Motorola is finally updating its Razr foldable \u2014 but only in China. The 2022 Razr offers a larger main screen, an extra camera, and Qualcomm\u2019s latest and greatest chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. There\u2019s also a new Flex View mode so you can open the screen halfway and use the phone hands-free. Kind of reminds us of another folding phone<\/a>…<\/p>\n

The 2022 Razr includes an upgraded main camera with 50 megapixels and optical stabilization plus a new 13-megapixel ultrawide. The main screen is a 6.7-inch OLED with a 144Hz refresh rate. It outdoes the Galaxy Z Flip 4 with a bigger 2.7-inch cover screen \u2014 while the Flip\u2019s is a much smaller 1.9 inches, making it more of an at-a-glance display. With 2.7 inches, the Razr\u2019s screen can offer a lot more, including a full notification interface. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a shame that the 2022 Razr isn\u2019t getting a wider release because it looks like it improves on some of our issues with the 2020 Razr<\/a> \u2014 including the price. The 2022 Razr starts at 5999 yuan, which is about $900 USD. That\u2019s about $100 cheaper than the Z Flip 4 and much less expensive than the $1,399 2020 Razr. For now, foldables in the US remain a party of one<\/a>.<\/p>\n
