Welcome to Razr 2022. Razr 2022. It’s the forthcoming folding clamshell by Motorola and is all set to reveal its secrets at an event scheduled for august 2 in China.

The teasers are all available on the Chinese microblogging website Weibo and a large amount of leaks about the insides of the phone have surfaced on the internet. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen anything like this and based on what we’ve seen so far, the third time could be the ultimate appeal of Motorola’s foldable phone plans. This is what we’ve learned regarding the Motorola Razr 2022.
Design
The initial two Motorola Razr foldable phones too closely to the nostalgia aspect, because of an elevated chin on the bottom, which was straight from the classic Razr phone clamshells of the past. Motorola did place an fingerprint sensor on the chin and utilized the chin as an innovative device to insert a part of the screen that was flexible, however it was an issue of opinion.
The chin appears to be disappearing. An Lenovo executive has already shown the phone in a stage show showing a model that does not have any chin, and with bezels that are symmetrical at the top and lower ends. Additionally, there’s no camera notch on the selfie camera on the top.
Although the redesign is sleek, Motorola is still retaining some elements of the traditional Razr design by creating the bottom and top edges just a bit curvier. The display on the cover that is already noticeable larger and much more useful over Samsung’s Galaxy Galaxy Z Flip 3 It is also increasing a few millimeters its own in its way to the Razr 2022.
The foldable inner panel is an 6.7-inch POLED display with 120Hz refresh rates as well as the cover display is said to be a 3-inch model. Another noteworthy change is the dual lens rear camera configuration, however there’s no confirmation on whether additional color options are available in the coming year, aside of the standard black trim.
Processor
Motorola has already announced it will launch the Motorola Razr in 2022. model will be equipped with Qualcomm’s top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which makes it the first smartphone that folds to provide the top-of-the-line silicon. The lead won’t last for however, since Samsung’s Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 which will launch on August 10 is expected to feature the same processor in it.Motorola / Weibo
Although Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 might not offer an enormous performance improvement in comparison to that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, it’s an enormous leap for Motorola. To date, the Motorola Razr foldable phones have used mid-range chips like Snapdragon 765G. Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G, which will make this Motorola Razr 2022 a massive improvement to the range.
There’s more to the image here beyond the raw performance. A flagship-grade chip also unlocks brand new capabilities for the camera , and assures it is on top of the listing when it comes to releasing software updates over the long term.
Cameras
Alongside the chip’s weakness, another weakness on the armor of the Motorola Razr is the camera’s output. Motorola remains adamant about the same rear camera model for its phones that fold to date. Although the 48-megapixel camera of the Razr 5G produced good results, it’s not enough to justify the initial cost of almost $1400 in terms of the raw quality and lens flexibility.
Fortunately, Motorola is making positive advancements in this field also. It is believed that Razr 2022 will rely on the 50MP camera as its primary camera. Of of course, the number of megapixels isn’t all that important but the pixels-binned 12.5MP images are a bit better this time.

The most important thing is that the main camera will be getting an ultrawide camera companion which is believed to rely on 13MP sensors. It’s not as robust than the main camera, however, if phones such as those of the iPhone 13, Galaxy S22 or Pixel 6 are an indication it will have enough pixels to take amazing photographs. Additionally, the camera for selfies will have a massive capacity of 32 megapixels, as per leaker Evan Blass.
Battery
One area that is not expected to change is the capacity of the battery. Rumors suggest that Motorola’s Razr 2022 will come with a tiny battery capacity of 2,800mAh which isn’t enough to power two screens and a flagship processor. It will be interesting check whether Motorola has implemented any battery-related optimizations to make things more balanced however, keep your expectations within your limits.
Prices and availability
Regarding pricing, it appears that Motorola will be more aggressive this time. According to an CompareDial publication that quotes leaker @OnLeaks The Motorola Razr 2022 model will be priced at 1,149 euros. That is a substantial reduction from the 1,399 euros asking price of the previous model.
Given the current euro-to- U.S. dollar conversion rates that the Razr 2022 may arrive on the market with a price of $1,150 with a $1,150 asking price. That’s a healthy generation-over-generation price cut and puts it in the same league as Samsung’s own Galaxy Z Flip series phones.
As of now, Motorola has only shared plans to launch the Razr 2022 in China. However, given the pattern of Motorola’s previous folding phones, it will likely be available in other markets which includes that of the U. S., within the next few weeks.
