Motorola today launched the Razr 50 in India. It is—for all intents and purposes—a more affordable Razr 50 Ultra designed to bring the foldable flip phone experience to more people. Unlike with the Razr 40 series, Motorola chose to launch the two—50 and 50 Ultra—separately.
What’s remarkable about the Razr 50 is that Motorola has cherry-picked one of the most sought-after features from the Razr 40 Ultra—aka the large 3.6-inch cover screen—and made it more accessible. That is in fact, a key USP of the Razr 50. The Razr 50 Ultra still takes the crown with its massive 4 incher, but the Razr 50 isn’t too far off.
