The new Razr 5G looks similar to the original foldable phone, but it comes with a number of changes. Motorola Razr 5G Price in India, Specifications Launch Live Updates: After a not-so-impressive debut of the original Razr, Motorola is back with the second-generation flip-style foldable phone. The new Razr 5G has a faster Snapdragon 765G processor, slightly redefined design, and a much-improved camera.
The highlight of the Razr 5G is its design and engineering which makes the screen folds in half. Motorola claims the new hinge design can last 200,000 folds and unfolds — the equivalent of 100 folds per day for five years. The new Moto Razr isn’t totally water-resistant, but the company has added a water repellent coating to prevent the phone from the water damage.
The follow-up to the original Razr comes with a 6.2-inch 21:9 pOLED foldable panel. There’s a 2.7-inch OLED screen on the front too, which can be used to access apps as well as notifications. At 12 noon IST on Monday, October 5, Motorola will launch the Razr 5G in India.

On the inside, it features a 6.2-inch foldable pOLED display with a resolution of 2142x876 pixels. The company claims that the device can withstand up to 200,000 flips according to its lab tests.
Motorola has engineered a 0 Gap Hinge, which allows the Razr 5G to fold flat and have no gaps in it. The company claims that you cannot even slide in a paper when the phone is closed, due to the complex hinge mechanism.
The company claims the Razr 5G can endure 100 flips a day or 2,00,000 flips without showing any issues. The hinge is a complex mechanism, as it creates a teardrop shape bubble in the centre when closed and moves the screen a bit while opening and closing to ensure that the screen does not have a crease in it.
Motorola claims that because of Motorola Razr 5G's dual display design the battery life is "optimised even more." It states that the bigger and better quick view display drives a behaviour change making people use it more for tasks and not turning to the larger screen, which eats up more battery, for everything.
