On September 9, 2020, Motorola Mobility Holdings announced the release of Motorola razr 5G.

With the Quick View display, access to information, applications, and menus is intuitive, simplifying decision-making and keeping time from scrolling around unnecessarily.
Updated features include the following:
- Updated navigation with gestures makes it easier to access the necessary functions. At the bottom of the Quick View display there is a navigation bar that simulates Android 10 gestures. The user can open the main screen by simply swiping his finger up at the display. By swiping your finger to the right on the main screen, you can immediately turn on the camera. Swiping to the left, you can open the application bar. Swipe left again to ring or text your favorite contacts.

- In addition, built-in NFC technology allows you to use Google Pay in stores around the world and share contacts, images and videos with other devices wirelessly.
In a smartphone, control belongs only to a user who can independently customize the layout of the Quick View display and arrange themes and applications on it. The Quick View panel has eight apps by default - camera, messages, calculator, Keep, Google News, Google Home and YouTube.
The tapered shape of the case, the location of the fingerprint sensor on the back and the updated hinge design all affected the 5G razr. The device has polished 3D glass with a 7000 series aluminum alloy. The model is available in three classic and sophisticated colors - Polished Graphite, Liquid Mercury and Blush Gold.
The Razr 5G has a 6.2-inch Flex View display and a 21:9 CinemaVision aspect ratio. The display is combined with hinges of a design that leaves no gaps when folding, which allows you to protect the internal display.
As of September 2020, on average, an ordinary user adds razr 40 times a day, and with more intensive use - up to 100 times a day. In the tests for the opening-closing cycles, the razr withstood up to 200,000 additions, i.e. with intensive use, it will take more than five years to reach the specified limit. In addition, a special coating protects the model from scratches, and the water-repellent barrier inside the device prevents droplets, splashes or rain from entering the case.
The motorola razr 5G model combines technology with an updated form factor. Thanks to the updated design of the lower part, the size of the device has become smaller, and the quality of communication has increased due to the placement of two of the four 5G antennas in it. The work is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor. Despite equipping the model with 5G technology and increasing the size of the battery, the next generation of razr retains a thin and integral body.
Thanks to the Quad Pixel technology built into the 48-megapixel (MP) camera, which increases the sensitivity of the lens in low light by four times, the photos are clear and bright. Optical image stabilization provides sharpness and detail of photos and videos, regardless of lighting. Laser autofocus built into the ToF sensor allows the camera to focus quickly on the object.
Selfie frames can be diversified using built-in modes: Group Selfie, Portrait Mode, Spot Color and others. Thanks to its design, the second display provides special camera functionality. The Camera Cartoon function attracts and holds the attention of the subject with an animation on the Quick View display, while the Flex View main display continues to display pictures. Thanks to the Instant Review function, the resulting photos can be viewed on the Quick View screen immediately after shooting, and the External Preview function turns on the viewfinder on the external Quick View screen to understand the frame during shooting. For a full-screen selfie, the user will need a Flex View display and an internal 20-megapixel camera.
The motorola razr 5G model works thanks to My UX software, which includes many updated features to take music, video and games to the next level with customized settings and advanced controls. Users can even create their own themes for devices by choosing from a variety of fonts, colors, and icon shapes.
In Europe, Motorola razr 5G will go on sale in the fall of 2020. Information on availability in Russia will be provided later.
2019: Motorola razr announcement
On November 14, 2019, Motorola unveiled the updated Motorola razr, a clamshell smartphone with a flexible display. According to the manufacturer, the design of the "clamshell" is the optimal solution. It solves the main problem of smartphone owners: how to combine compactness and a large screen, so necessary for users.
As noted in Motorola, high-quality stainless steel and 3D Gorilla Glass are used for the production of the smartphone, which makes the device simultaneously protected and at the same time pleasantly tactile. Motorola razr - thin and smooth, made in restrained colors, using suitable materials.
During the development process, razr at Motorola faced the limitations of existing technologies. The company has created a patent-protected zero-gap hinge that allows the polymer flexible display to remain flat when folded, with sides that fit tightly together, which protects the screen from debris and dust. The manufacturer redesigned the antenna to fit in half the space, providing the device with a protective coating against water and spray.
The Motorola razr features a 6.2 'Flex View display with a 21:9 aspect ratio. According to the manufacturer, the smartphone combines subtlety and ideal dimensions to fit in any pocket. The external 2.7 'interactive Quick View display allows you to interact with important information right on the go without having to open your smartphone completely. The user can make calls, answer messages, make contactless payments using a smartphone, control music, take selfies, use Google Assistant and quickly change some settings: for example, turn on or off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Hotspot and many others.
Motorola razr sales will begin in December 2019 in some European countries.
