Mobile companies are releasing their mobile flagships that are meant to boost the reputation of their company. They usually have an upgraded camera, audio, capacity, battery life span, and more. Let's see what Motorola has in store with their new foldable Razr.

In the previous year, Huawei made headlines after it launched its Foldable Mate X that immediately sold out in China. Before the end of the decade, Apple also unveiled six new series of its iPhone 12 that is set to be released later this year. Samsung, one of the mobile giants of the world, also released its own Foldable phone that also made headlines.

This time, Motorola has released its own version of the foldable phone. After a series of reviews of the phone, there are things that you should know about the it. One reviewer said that after a brief first look they were left with plenty of questions that can only be answered through a series of tests. And after a week they found a lot of things out about the world's second major, and widely available, foldable phone and the first to have the traditional clamshell design. 

The first thing that they have in their notes is how the Motorola Razr easily melds into the pocket. This phone is a little bit thicker than most, but it can rest well in your pocket with other items such as keys, wallets, AirPods, and more. Just fold it to close your device and it takes up half the footprint just like a typical smartphone.

However, because of the size of this device, this is one of those gadgets that may be easily be forgotten. One phone reviewer said that he left his Motorola Razr when he moved to another apartment. This is the reason why the compact size of this device is something that should be considered by consumers, most especially those who love to wear pants without pockets.

Time and technology both evolve and as time goes by, phone consumers are looking for devices that are easy to store in pockets. They are looking for smaller and thinner gadgets and not those of larger size. Having thicker gadgets requires a consumer to use more effort in keeping their phone safe in a backpack or larger pockets. This what made the phone less appealing to consumers.

This phone would also be compelling if the device didn't cost 50 percent more than an iPhone 11 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. The price of Motorola Razr will truly shock consumers. It also requires some effort to open the phone comfortably, its interior plastic is very thin, and once you run your fingers up and down on the screen you can feel the bumpy hinge. Most of all, it bugs out most of the time.

Reviewers said that this is a design compromise. Another example of the design that will compromise consumers is its volume rocker and lock button that is very slim and to the point that these are indistinguishable. 

However, despite some features that would disappoint consumers, there are also features that one can appreciate. It can shoot pictures well during daylight. Its camera quality is almost the same as the Moto Z4 on which it has a single-lens 16MP rear camera that does decent work. 

if you are not impressed by the phone, just give it a couple iterations in order for the company to improve on its design.
