Motorola Razr 50 in for review

Date:


As phone names go these days, you’d think the Motorola Razr 50 is a big step down from the Razr 50 Ultra. It surely has to be at least a Pro to have anything close to the Ultra. But you’d be wrong. We’ll elaborate right after this unboxing.

Motorola ships the Razr 50 in a perfumed retail box, with a vegan leather case with metal strap hooks, a color-matching vegan leather strap, and a USB-C cable. You’d need to supply your own charger, though.

The Razr 50 is much closer to the Razr 50 Ultra than you’d think. It runs a less powerful but equally efficient 4nm Dimensity 7300X chipset, it has the same sized inner display at 6.9-inch, but it runs at a slower 120Hz (not 165Hz), while its cover screen is a 3.6-inch 90Hz unit, instead of the 4.0-inch 165Hz one on the Ultra. You get the same main camera but a 13MP ultrawide with autofocus instead of the 50MP 2x zoom camera of the Ultra.

Finally, wired charging tops out at just 30W (15W less), but you retain the 15W wireless charging, and the 4,200mAh is actually 5% bigger (200mAh).

You could argue that those concessions aren’t small, but the counterargument is that for this type of device, it’s more important to keep the display proportions, which the Razr 50 mostly does. It’s also obviously significantly cheaper than the Ultra.

But here’s where the conversion gets difficult. At the time of writing this piece, the Razr 50 (aka the razr 2024 in the States) is $700 and €950 in Europe. While vastly different, those prices are high. But let’s not jump to buying advice just yet. Wait for our review first.
