The Moto Razr is back and we are flipping

UNDER THE HOOD: The device runs on Android 9 Pie, it has a fingerprint sensor and a USB-C charging port. Under the hood, the device packs in a Snapdragon 710 processor that’s coupled with 6GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

THE FLIP SWAGGER: Once folded, turns into a small pocket-sized smartphone that is loaded with that classy flip swagger. Imagine yourself hanging up on someone… in style! Having said, it is a little hard to fold this device with one hand. Now, there are still some concerns about durability for the folding display as it’s still way too early in the game. I will have to spend a lot more time with the device to know if Motorola has got it right in the very first attempt or not.

EARLY VERDICT: For now, I can safely say that the Razr is a crisp high-end flip phone with a neat hardware design that is a packed in a solid stainless steel and glass shell. All this will set you back by $1,499 when it arrives in January 2020. Having said that, I still think that you should wait for a generation or two more before you invest your money on a foldable device. That’s for the risk-averse users out there. If you fall on the other end of the spectrum, who like to be on the bleeding edge of technology, then the Moto Razr deserves a home in your deep pockets. Overall, I am just glad that the Motorola has brought back the Razr, let the flipping begin!
