Motorola Razr 50 Ultra First Impressions

Motorola’s Razr 40 Ultra, Indeed, was a game-Congress in the world of foldables. Launched in July 2023, The phone surely made an impact and raised the bar for foldable (or flippable) designs, forcing other manufacturers to reconsider how covers displays could be Used. In my reviews of both competing foldables (the Oppo Find N3 Flip and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5), it was clear that Neither Had Managed to Deliver The Seamless Cover Display Experience that Motorola Masted with Its Razr 40 Ultra.

It’s 2024, and Motorola is back with the next version of its clamshell foldable called the razr 50 Ultra. It appears very fataliar to the previous model, but take a closer look and there is a ton of changes with.

The Motorola razr 50 ultra has a family 6.9-inch poleed main display as before but a 165hz screen refresh rate

The New Motorola Razr 50 Ultra Sure Looks very similar to the previous model it replaces. Very little has changed in the design department, save for the vegan leather-finished rear panels that are now all three colors on all three colors, two of which are brand new. Motorola has surely drilled down on the details this year as the midnight blue finish offers a dual spliced ​​pattern which which results in a different-failing texure Compared to the Single splice Green and peach fuzz options.

The hinge feels so much smother and refined this year, and motorola claims that its offers much better free-stop performance compared to the previous model. The hinge is also better designed to deal with dust. When it comes to water, the phone gets an ipx8 certificate, which is in line with what samsung offers with its Galaxy Flip 5The A Cover (Protective case) on the hinge is also flatter, making the phone a bit slimmer than the previous model as well.

The larger 4.0-inch cover display is full capable of running google’s gemini ai

A design feature that many may overlook is the cover display, which, unlike the razr 40th, now Runs from edge to edge to edge with a thin, uniform bezel. The size of the display has gone up from an alredy large 3.6 inches on the razr 40 ultra to an even bigger 4-inch poleed unit with a higher resolution (1,272 x 1,080 pixels) that is NOW LTPO and Offers a 165Hz Refresh Rate. The hinge assemble, which intruded into the cover display with the earlier model and resulted in a metal band at the top of the cover display, is now gone and hence has a very seamless and cleans. Indeed, Motorola has gone with Finer Refinements this time that will mainly be visible to an existing customer When both devices are placed side-by-side.

The Motorola Razr 50 Ultra Gets A New Hinge, which, Apart from Being More Compact, also feels smooth and refined in action

Another Area That Feels More Polished is the Phone’s Software. Motorola’s New Android 14-Based Hello Ui Keeps Gradually Drifting Away from Whatsed to Be Near-Stock Android. However, it’s nice to see a revamped cover display that even has a pinch-to-zoom-out gesture to View all the new tiles at once (like on the galaxy z flip 5). What is new to the foldable lineup is the use of google’s gemini ai which is now accessible on the cover display its item. From seeking explanations to brainstorming ideas, even general Q & a and tasks can now be handled with opening the phone’s main display, making the already useful covers Display spen more.

Powering this smooth new Ui and Ai Experience is Qualcomm’s Latest Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC. The Phone Comes with 12GB of Ram and 512GB of Storage, which is probally with the software experience feels smother this year. But more on that in my full review.

There are new cameras as well. Both rear cameras have been upgraded to high-resolution 50-megapixel sensors. The second camera is now a telephoto camera with 2x optical zoom. Selfies are handled by a 32-megapixel front-facing camera embedded into the folding main display.

With a bigger and faster display this year, motorola has backed up this phone with a bigger 4,000mah battery And far more power-efficient processor compared to the Previous Model (Should in theory) Result in Better Life as well. Charging is handled by a 68W wired Charger, which comes in the box. The phone, like last year’s model, also supports 15w wireless charging as well.

Apart from the Charger, Motorola also bundles the moto buds+ Tws and an environmentally-friendly case in the box

With a high price tag of Rs. 99,999 this year, it all seems justified, giving the numerous upgrades available on this year’s model. Motorola also offers a sturdy case in the box along with a premium Moto Buds+ TWS (Review) Priceed at Rs 9,999, which seems like a sweet deal. What remains to be seen is whather motorola has addressed the Heating Issues And Average Still and Video Camera Performance of Last Year’s RAZR 40 Ultra Into something better this year in its mission to perfect its foldable. And this is something I will conclude in our full review which will be out soon.
