New foldable smartphones Motorola Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra cost $700 and $1000

The Motorola company held a global presentation, where it showed a new line of folding Razr smartphones. Note that in a few weeks, Samsung will show its new foldable smartphones. Apparently, the linoleum subsidiary decided to catch the hype first.

Unusually, there will now be two Moto clamshells – Motorola Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra. It is interesting that the naming of the company’s models is similar to Toyota. The Japanese automaker also labels Camry and Prius generations as 30, 40, 50 bodies, etc.

In general, the company prepared strange press renders. The smartphone now has a large half-body screen that works as a viewfinder. It’s cool when no one is filming you. But then why is another person holding a smartphone and aiming carefully?
