Motorola had announced the Motorola Razr clamshell foldable phone in November. It was officially confirmed that the device would be available on pre-orders from Dec. 26 in the U.S. and its shipping would start on Jan. 9. However, the company delayed the market release citing high demand that surpassed its supply predictions. Motorola had said that there won’t be significant shift from the original availability timeline. Fresh information reveals that the pre-orders of the Motorola Razr will kick off in the U.S. from Jan. 26 followed by a market release starting on Feb. 6.
In the U.S., the Motorola Razr can be availed from Verizon, Walmart and the official site of Motorola. The foldable device can be purchased with a price tag of $1,499. The new Razr will be also made available in select markets. The company is yet to release the list of markets that will be provided with Motorola Razr.
The Motorola Razr is already up for pre-orders in the U.K and is currently available only on contract through EE’s website. The customers who have pre-ordered have been reportedly provided a shipment timeframe of around 28 days. This indicates that the market release of the Motorola Razr in the U.K. could be synced with the U.S.
Soon after its announcement in November, the handset appeared on the website of Motorola India. Interested buyers in the country can register to know more on the arrival of Razr. Recently, the images of the production unit and retail box of the Razr was recently shared on China’s Weibo microblogging site. China will be receiving the device in Q2 this year.
