• 
  More affordable price tagComing in at £799/$799, the Razr 50 is comfortably cheaper than much of the foldable competition.

Introduction

Motorola’s Razr 50 is a more affordable entry point into the world of foldables, and it represents a massive upgrade on its predecessor.

Not only does it boast a huge upgrade to its cover display, but users can enjoy improved camera tech, new AI smarts and improved performance while still maintaining its more affordable price point.

In fact, it bests the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 in key areas, representing a more affordable alternative to Samsung’s premium clamshell foldable that makes it particularly interesting. 

Design

• A much larger 3.6-inch cover screen
• IPX8 water resistance
• Fashion-focused colour options

Last year’s Motorola Razr 40 was a fine first attempt at making a more affordable clamshell foldable, but as discussed in our review at the time, the small cover screen was just too limited compared to practically every other foldable on the market.

Well, that has changed with this year’s Razr 50, sporting the same 3.6-inch cover screen as last year’s top-end Razr 40 Ultra – and that makes it a whole lot more interesting, especially compared to the likes of the Z Flip 6 that not only costs more, but offers a smaller, less feature-packed cover screen. More on that in a bit. 

In fact, in many respects, this is the Razr 40 Ultra at a cheaper price point, with only small tweaks like a pop of colour above the cover screen to match the rear of the phone compared to the 2023 flagship. 

That means it’s just as fashion-focused as ever, available in three attractive colours including Koala Grey, Beach Sand and the particularly vibrant Spritz Orange (photographed here) complete with textured vegan leather rears that feel great in the hand, especially when combined with the curved edges of the colour-matched chassis. 

With the Razr 40, we had big complaints about the overall build quality compared to the flagship 40 Ultra, with our reviewer noting that the foldable actually creaked when unfolded. 

That’s not the case with the newer model however, feeling just as rigid and premium as the Ultra model with a matching redesigned hinge mechanism, though it still doesn’t feel quite as sturdy as what you’ll get from the Z Flip 6 and its rock-solid build. 

The Razr 50 shares the same level of protection as the top-end Razr 50 Ultra, including cover screen protection in the form of Corning’s premium Gorilla Glass Victus, alongside IPX8 water-resistance, meaning it can be dunked in up to 1.5m of water for 30 minutes and come out unscathed. 

While that meant a downgrade in dust resistance for the Ultra model, the regular Razr 40 offered no kind of official IP rating, so the improved resistance is a welcome addition here – especially in the more affordable foldable segment where it’s easy to drop elements like that. Look at the Nubia Flip 5G and you’ll understand exactly what I mean.  

Screens

• 3.6-inch 90Hz cover screen is wholly more useful
• Tall inner 120Hz pOLED foldable screen
• Crease isn’t all that noticeable

If last year’s Razr 40 had one major flaw, it was the cover screen – if that’s what you can call it, anyway. Like early versions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, the Razr 40 came with a ticker-style display that was useful only for quick access to notifications, battery life, time, and a few key settings. 

The problem was that most of the foldable competition, including the Razr 40 Ultra, had already moved to larger, wholly more functional cover screens, so it felt unnecessarily dated and just a bit frustrating to use.

Well, that’s no longer a problem with the new 3.6-inch cover screen, bringing with it all the functionality we love with the more expensive Ultra models – even if it’s still not quite as large as the Razr 50 Ultra’s 4-inch affair. 

That means you can access a range of Motorola-designed widgets for access to your calendar, contacts, weather and more, and the ability to run full-screen apps on the cover screen, massively reducing just how often you have to unfold the phone.

It’s the perfect size for quickly replying to WhatsApp messages with its swipe-enabled keyboard, and, combined with the phone’s pocketable folded dimensions, it’s nice and comfortable to grip the phone while using the cover screen to, say, navigate around the busy streets of London using Google Maps. 

And, as alluded to earlier, it’s not only larger than the competing Galaxy Z Flip 6 by 0.2 inches, but with its extended app capabilities, it’s wholly more useful too. Plus, it also benefits from a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, while Flip’s is capped at 60Hz, translating to a much smoother experience. 

It also sports a near-identical 6.9-inch pOLED foldable screen as its premium sibling, though it’s not quite as fast at 120Hz. That might technically be a downgrade on last year’s 144Hz panel, but the real-world difference between 120Hz and 144Hz is so negligible that it’s not worth focusing on. 

What is worth focusing on is that t’s an LTPO panel, allowing it to drop down to as little as 1Hz to conserve battery life, and that’s a feature not seen on many candybar phones of a similar price, let alone a foldable. 

The large FHD+ panel delivers a solid viewing experience with peak brightness at 3000nits, especially with HDR10+ content if you can source it. My only real complaint is that with the combination of a 6.9-inch panel and a 22:9 aspect ratio, it can be hard to reach the top of the screen when using it one-handed.   

The good news is that the redesigned hinge mechanism manages to seriously reduce just how noticeable the crease in the foldable screen is. Sure, it’s still there if you look off-angle, but head-on, you won’t notice a thing – and with a shallower dip than the likes of Samsung, you don’t really notice much when you run your finger over it either. 

It is still a plastic foldable screen, however, so all the usual limitations on durability and reflectiveness apply here.  

Cameras

• 50MP main camera
• 13MP ultrawide camera
• 32MP selfie snapper

Not content with just upgrading the cover screen, Motorola has also given the Razr 50 some TLC in the camera department. 

While you might look at the spec sheet and assume that it’s a downgrade given that the Razr 50 has a 50MP sensor in place of last year’s 64MP, it’s not the case. In fact, the pixel size has almost doubled to 1.6 micrometres with this year’s model, and when combined with f/1.7 aperture and PDAF AF and OIS, it seems to be pretty capable.

It’s the same main camera as you’ll find in the top-end Razr 50 Ultra. That means that, like the top-end model, the Razr 50 can capture some pretty impressive shots. Daytime shots are vibrant and detailed, and although some colours – particularly greens and blues – have a slightly unnatural hue, it does make photos taken really pop. 

The wide f/1.7 aperture has a dual purpose, both improving the amount of light the sensor can take in and delivering a natural bokeh to close-up shots. This makes the main sensor a great option for portrait photography, even without the dedicated Portrait mode. 

It also means it can handle low-light environments pretty well, with even lighting and plenty of colour, though that’s only when there’s still some source of light – in near-dark conditions, the Razr 50 begins to struggle. 

Where the two Razrs differ is with the secondary camera; while the Ultra model sports a high-res telephoto lens, the Razr 50 continues with a 13MP 120-degree ultrawide that seems identical to that of last year’s Razr 40. While that might sound disappointing, it is nice to know that if you do like ultrawide photography, there’s at least a Razr-shaped option for you. 

That said, the 13MP secondary camera makes light work of scenic vistas and even ultrawide selfies, something easier to take than ever with the cover screen doubling up as a viewfinder, with colours that better match those produced by the main sensor compared to the Razr 40 –  though it’s best suited to use during the day. 

As the light levels drop, so does the quality of the ultrawide, with images looking increasingly dark and muddy compared to results from the main lens. 

Elsewhere, you’ll find an upgraded 32MP selfie camera on the inner foldable screen. While you likely won’t use that camera for selfies given you can easily use the cover screen and rear cameras for truly high-quality selfies, it does mean that the quality of video calls is pretty decent in most environments. 

Video caps out at 4K@30fps, but at least it’s fun to record video on the Razr 50 in its Camcorder mode. Like old camcorders of the 90s and early 00s, you can hold your phone sideways semi-folded to get not only a better grip for steadier video capture but quick controls to zoom in, stop recording and more. 

It’s just one of the many ways that clamshell foldables in particular lend themselves well to mobile photography.  

Performance

• MediaTek Dimensity 7300X
• Solid mid-range performance
• 256GB of storage as standard

While there are plenty of similarities between the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, performance likely won’t be one of them, sporting the mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 7300X in place of the premium Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, complete with 8GB of RAM and a healthy 256GB of storage as standard. 

That’s not a bad chipset, mind, with similar variants of 7300 found in the likes of the Oppo Reno 12 Pro, and it does suit the regular Razr 50’s more affordable price point. Besides, I’m convinced that the vast majority of consumers wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in everyday use.

It’s just as responsive as the flagships when scrolling through the OS and opening apps, and while it might not be able to run the very top-end graphics in demanding 3D games like Genshin Impact at a solid 60fps, it can handle more casual games – like my current favourite, Zombie Gunner – with absolute ease.

What’s more, it doesn’t really get that hot, even after playing games for over 30 minutes. Sure, power users who constantly edit video or play top-end games will be better suited by the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and its Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but most users simply don’t need that kind of power most of the time.

Importantly, the Dimensity 7300X is a very battery-efficient 4nm chipset that, when combined with elements like the LTPO display, also delivers impressive battery life – but more on that in a bit.  

It still trails in performance compared to much of the foldable competition and their flagship-level chipsets, as seen in our benchmark tests above. However, given that the Razr 50 is a chunk of change cheaper than those premium options, and still runs well in everyday use, I don’t think it’s a bad trade-off at all.

Software & AI

• Near-stock approach to Android 14
• Genuinely handy OS tweaks and features
• Moto AI coming later this year

Motorola has brought AI features to the affordable Razr, though it’s not quite as expansive as that of the top-end Razr 50 Ultra. 

It offers the Image Enhancement Engine as well as the ability to boost low-light photography, and it’s one of the first phones that allows you to access Google Gemini from the cover screen, but it misses out on the big shiny AI features like those found on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 – for now, anyway.

Later this year, it’ll roll out Moto AI to both the Razr 50 and 50 Ultra, a more powerful AI experience that’ll perform actions like summarising incoming notifications, being able to listen to conversations, taking note of important events and reminders and providing those to you when needed, analyse photos to learn more about you and your preferences and much more.

It likely won’t get the full Moto AI experience when it rolls out, as I expect at least some of it will depend on on-device GenAI support, but it’ll be interesting to see what features end up on the more affordable model.

Elsewhere, it’s very much a near-stock Android 14 experience with a sprinkling of Moto-themed tweaks. That includes the classic karate chop to turn the torch on, while a flick of the wrist allows for quick access to the camera, along with a range of customisation options and Motorola’s desktop-level ReadyFor software, that make the experience an overall pleasant one. 

The long-term software promise isn’t that exciting, with Motorola committing to the same three OS upgrades and four years of security patches as the Razr 50 Ultra, falling way behind the seven years that Samsung offers with its foldables, but at least it’s an easier pill to swallow with the more affordable price tag. 

Battery Life

• 4200mAh battery easily lasts all day
• Full charge in just under an hour with 30W charging
• 15W wireless charging

The combination of a 4200mAh battery – 200mAh bigger than the Razr 40 Ultra, by the way – alongside an LTPO display and a power-efficient chipset allows the Razr 50 to easily last all day, especially with a more convenient cover display that means you don’t always need to use the more power-hungry 6.9-inch panel. 

It about matches the experience I saw with the top-end Razr 50 Ultra, which is to say that it can handle a full day’s use – around four to five hours of screen on time, split between the cover and inner panels – and still have a bit left in the tank. Granted, it usually ends the day with 20-30%, meaning it doesn’t have the potential for two-day stamina like candybar alternatives, but it’s pretty solid for a clamshell foldable. 

Though the inclusion of 30W may not sound all that impressive, especially when premium foldables like the OnePlus Open offer 67W fast charging, don’t let that fool you; using the 33W charge in the box, you’ll see 50% charge in 25 minutes, while a full charge clocks in at just shy of an hour. 

There’s also 15W wireless charging – a convenient surprise given the cheaper focus of the foldable, but a welcome one nonetheless.

Latest deals

Should you buy it?

You want a great foldable at a discount

The Razr 50 offers the core experience of a foldable without being quite as expensive as much of the competition.

You want the best performance possible

While the use of the Dimensity 7300X will go unnoticed by many, it lacks the power of the flagship Snapdragon chipset offered by other foldables that power users may need.

Final Thoughts

The Razr 40 had good intentions behind it, but its execution was flawed compared to the much more capable foldable flagship competition. The Razr 50 doesn’t have this same problem.

Motorola has fixed practically every major complaint we had with its predecessor, with a sturdier build, larger and more useful cover screen, better camera performance and improved battery life, while still coming in comfortably cheaper than practically every other foldable around.

Yes, there are sacrifices to be had; the MediaTek chipset isn’t as performant as the flagship chipsets found in the more premium foldables, and it foregoes features like a 165Hz refresh rate, but for the most part, this is the core Razr experience at a pretty big discount.
