Lenovo-owned Motorola has today confirmed that the company is all set to start selling the Gold colored model of the Motorola Razr 5G foldable smartphone in China from tomorrow, i.e., on 15th December.

So far, the device was available in only Black color option, since its introduction a couple of months ago. The Gold-colored Motorola Razr 5G, which packs 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, costs 12,499 yuan, which roughly converts to $1,912.

In most foldable smartphones available in the market right now, there’s a crease on the display from where the phone folds. But Motorola’s phone has an elastic metal plate on both sides, pulling the display tight, that can keep the screen flat.

The smartphone features a 6.2-inch OLED display while the secondary screen measures 2.7-inch gOLED screen. The device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset, offering 5G connectivity.

The device is powered by a 2,800mAh battery that supports 15W charging.

As for the phone’s durability, the company has promised that the hinge is designed to last for over 200,000 folds, which means that if the phone is folded and unfolded 100 times a day, then there won’t be any issues for more than five years.
