Motorola just announced its stunning new $1,500 Razr foldable smartphone - here's everything you need to know
The exterior has a 2.7-inch OLED touchscreen with 800x600 resolution for basic functions like notifications, music controls, and responding to texts and emails.
There's also a 5-megapixel selfie camera in the notch at the top of the screen when you flip the new Razr open.
The new Razr retains the original design's bulge at the bottom of the phone, but unlike the original, the bulge is where you'll find the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone.
The new Razr runs on the Snapdragon 710 chip, 6 GB of RAM, and comes with 128 GB of storage, which places it in the upper mid-range when it comes to performance, at least on paper.
It also runs on Android 9 at launch, even though Android 10 was released in September.
Battery-wise, you're getting 2,510mAh, which isn't very big, especially for a phone with a 6.2-inch screen.
The Pixel 4 XL with a 6.3-inch screen has a 3,700mAh battery, and its battery life isn't stellar. Perhaps the smaller battery won't have to work so hard to power the Snapdragon 710 chip and the 876p resolution screen on the new Razr, and we might still see some decent battery life.
Another spec that stood out was the new Razr's 205g weight.
This makes it heavier than a lot of smartphones. It's a hair heavier than the iPhone 11 at 194g.
Since the new Razr's screen is foldable, it's still presumably fragile.
It has a one year warranty in the US where you can get the screen repaired or replaced for free if it's damaged during normal use, with a free 24-hour turnaround. Outside of the one-year warranty, or if the display was damaged outside of normal use, it'll cost $300 to replace the screen. Motorola will announce warranty information outside the US when the new Razrs become available.
