Motorola officially launched the Razr foldable today in India at a staggering price tag of Rs. 1,24,999. This makes it a tough buy in the Indian market which already has the Galaxy Z Flip featuring a similar foldable form factor and significantly better specifications.
Motorola has a few offers for the Razr like Rs. 10,000 cashback on Citi Bank credit as well as debit cards and no-cost EMI options. There are other offers as well like discounted Moto Care and double data offer from Reliance Jio.
Pre-booking starts today with shipping kicking off from April 2.
The Motorola Razr mimics the clamshell design of the iconic Razr smartphone from the 2000s. Like the Galaxy Z Flip, the phone features a flexible display that can be folded at the center, vertically, to transform into a compact form factor. The Razr comes with a 6.2-inch pOLED display with a 21:9 aspect ratio (2142 x 876 pixels) and a secondary 2.7-inch cover screen upfront (800 x 600 pixels). Note that the cover screen is significantly larger than the one on the Galaxy Z Flip (1.06-inch) but that’s the only major area where the Razr gets an edge.

The Motorola Razr features a mid-range Snapdragon 710 processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It has a 2510mAh battery with 15W fast charging. At the back, there’s a single 16MP rear shooter with f/1.7 aperture, dual pixel AF, and dual-LED flash. On the front, there’s a 5MP selfie shooter.
There nothing much to talk about the Motorola Razr, especially after seeing that price tag. The Galaxy Z Flip with Snapdragon 855 Plus and dual 12MP shooters is a much better alternative to the Razr in India at Rs. 1,09,999. Essentially, the Razr is an overly expensive mid-range smartphone that can fold and with Galaxy Z Flip in the competition, the Razr doesn’t really stand a chance in India.
