Since reviving the Razr in 2019, there have been progressive steps to improve the brand's flip phone, cumulating in this: the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. It's the flip phone with the largest cover display and arguably the largest attitude thanks to its colourful fashionforward design.
There's no doubt that Motorola has elevated its latest Razr to new heights stepping above and beyond Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 in the process. But as with any flip phone, there are compromises. Can Motorola negate those better than any rival?
This latest flip phone is better in almost every way to the outgoing Motorola Razr 40 Ultra - if you're okay with the absence of an ultra-wide camera anyway. That's because the Razr 50 Ultra has upgraded its cameras, upping the resolution (from 12-megapixel to 50MP) and introduced a 2x optical zoom in place of the ultra-wide of its predecessor. Apparently, it's because Razr users are more likely to snap portraits, Motorola says, and a 2x zoom lens is better for that. The lenses protrude slightly more from the body, too.
The cameras aren't the biggest change though: the Razr 50 Ultra ups the cover display's size to 4.0 inches (from the 3.6-inch one of the 40 Ultra), giving this flip phone the most amount of screen real estate on the market. That's been made possible thanks to a hinge redesign. The Razr 50 Ultra also increases the battery capacity and charging speed, ups the main screen's peak brightness potential and swaps for a newer (but altogether similar) Qualcomm processor. That's a fair amount of differences that add up to a substantial change overall.
