Moto Razr 2022 teardown video reveals improvements on the hinge

A teardown video has surfaced showing how the Moto Razr 2022 has an improved hinge design from its predecessor, the Razr 5G. The Razr 2022 sports a fixed display at both ends while it folds the middle in a teardrop shape. The Moto Razr 2022 looks more exquisite without the chin.

The teardown video of the Razr 2022 came from WekiHome. The folding mechanism of both the Razr 5G and the Razr 2022 were examined in the video. The newer model has thin metal strips in the middle which help to secure the display from the folding pressure. This has resulted in a significantly smaller crease area in the Moto Razr 2022 than its predecessor.

The teardown video also shows the split-battery setup in the Razr 2022. It has a 712mAh battery in the top half while a 2,788mAh battery sits on the bottom half. The two batteries output 2.8Wh and 10.9Wh respectively. The cooling mechanisms of the device consist of a thermal paste, a copper block, and copper sheets. The Razr 2022 is powered by the top-end Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and lacks a vapor chamber. The improved hinge design of the Moto Razr 2022 raises the stakes for the possibility of a global rollout.

At the moment, Motorola has restricted the Razr 2022 to the Chinese market. Inside sources have already speculated that the new model will follow the trajectory of the Razr 5G which also entered the global market.

Ahead of its launch on August 11, Motorola has started accepting reservations for the Moto Razr 2022 in China. The launch event relates to its China launch. Details are lacking at this time on the company’s global plans for the Razr 2022. Possible early recipients of the foldable smartphone can now make reservations for the device.

The Moto Razr 2022 comes with some design improvements from its predecessor. It sports a new hinge mechanism that makes it possible to completely fold the device flat. This makes the Razr 2022 to be more compact. We also know that the smartphone’s screen comes with a new 6-layer protective structure. This means that the device has an improved durability rating as per its screen.

The Moto Razr 2022 will be available in three RAM/ storage configurations. These are 8GB/ 128GB, 8GB/ 256GB, and 12GB/ 512GB. The latest official poster of the Razr 2022 displayed various screen modes including multi-tasking, surround, and tripod modes. The multitasking mode allows two apps to run simultaneously with their operational screens at each half of the phone’s display. The surround mode displays notifications at a glance, while the tripod mode is used to take pictures or videos by placing the phone on a surface or a stand.

Reservations for the Moto Razr 2022 can be made on JD.com. There are no indications yet whether or when the Moto Razr will become available globally. The optics will probably become visible after the official launch of the Moto Razr 2022 in China on August 11.

Back in 2019, Motorola entered the foldable smartphone segment with the iconic Moto Razr which was greatly inspired by the OG feature phone series of the same name. The company then launched the Moto Razr 2020 which was an improved version of the first-gen smartphone.

For some reason, Motorola didn’t launch a Razr smartphone in 2021, but this year it’s coming strong with the latest Moto Razr 2022. So, let’s take a look at what we can expect from the foldable device.

Moto Razr 2022 Launch Date

Motorola has confirmed that it will be launching the Moto Razr 2022 alongside the Moto X30 Pro in a launch event scheduled on August 2, a week ahead of the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy Flip 4 and Fold 4.

The event will begin at 7:30 PM GMT+8. It will also be live streamed so that you can witness the launch from the comfort of your home. The smartphone is currently launching in China and will soon make its debut in the international market.

Moto Razr 2022 Design

As per the leaked renders and a promotional video by Motorola, the new Razr 2022 will land with a completely new appearance. It will have a boxier, squared-off design and will look nothing like the previous models.

The upcoming foldable phone has lost its trademark chin at the bottom and resembles Samsung’s Galaxy Flips to a great extent. The phone’s display will have a centered hole punch for the selfie camera. The display appears to be neat and has no visible crease. On the outside of the phone, there are two main cameras and an exterior display that covers most of the front part.

The fingerprint sensor on the device has also been shifted to the side-mounted power button which is a welcome move because the fingerprint sensor placement on previous Razrs was not very impressive. Overall, the new Razr 2022 looks sleek and better than earlier models. It is also said to be available in multiple color options.

Moto Razr 2022 Specifications

Motorola managed to keep the specs of the Razr 2022 under wraps for a long time but a recent TENNA listing revealed it all. As per the listing, the device will have a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display that will offer a Full HD+ resolution and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The device is also rumored to feature a 120Hz refresh rate.

If we talk about the processor, the Moto Razr 2022 will be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc, in fact, it will be the world’s first foldable device to feature this processor. In addition, it will be available with up to 18 GB of RAM and 512 GB of built-in storage. The latest moto foldable is definitely going to be a powerful smartphone and will go head-to-head with Samsung’s Flip 4.

The device will be fueled by 3500mAh dual-cell battery which is a significant increase over the previous models. The charging speed of the device is not known yet but it will likely come with fast-charging support.

The device will run Android 12 OS based on MyUI out of the box. The device’s dimensions when unfolded are 166.99 × 79.79 × 7.62mm. It is likely to be available in a variety of hues, including black, white, blue, cyan, green, gold, red, silver, and grey. It weighs about 200 grams.

Moto Razr 2022 Cameras

The camera on Moto Razr 2020 was rather disappointing, it featured a sole 16-megapixel snapper which wasn’t actually good. However, with the Razr 2022, Motorola seems to be stepping things up. The latest foldable has a dual camera setup on the back and they are rumored to be pretty good.

Reports suggest the device will have a 50-megapixel main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, accompanied by a 13-megapixel ultrawide lens. While on the front, it may have a 32-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls, and as mentioned, it’ll be placed in a hole-punched cutout.

Moto Razr 2022 Expected Price

The Moto Razr 2022 is expected to be priced at around $1,200. Surprisingly, it’s less than Razr 2020, which costs around $1,399. Again, this is just the rumored pricing and we are not sure if it’s for the base variant or the max variant.
