1. IPX8 water resistance
The first feature highlighted is the Motorola razr 50’s IPX8 water resistance. The rating allows the phone to be submerged in up to 1.5 metres of water for 30 minutes.
This is presented as useful protection for people with active or unpredictable lifestyles, including households with children. It also addresses the perception that foldable phones are particularly fragile, although water resistance does not remove the need to handle the device carefully.
2. A flexible camera system
The razr 50 has a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, or OIS. This is intended to help produce steadier handheld photographs, including in lower-light situations and when there is movement.
A 13MP ultrawide camera also doubles as a macro camera. This gives the phone flexibility for wider landscape photographs and close-up images. For selfies, the 32MP front camera is described as producing high-resolution images with natural colours and accurate skin tones.
The foldable design provides another option for photography. With the phone folded, the cover display can act as a viewfinder while the external 50MP camera is used for selfies.
3. MediaTek Dimensity 7300X performance
The phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor. In the video, this is described as providing reliable, smooth performance for everyday use, including multitasking, communication and entertainment.
The processor is also presented as being suitable for more intensive applications and as managing power consumption without sacrificing speed. The practical benefit highlighted is a responsive experience without noticeable lag or delay during day-to-day use.
4. Battery and charging options
The Motorola razr 50 includes a 4,200mAh battery and supports both 30W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. These options are aimed at making it easier to restore power during a busy day.
The video states that the 30W fast-charging option can provide a significant boost in a short period, reaching roughly 50 per cent charge in about 30 minutes. This makes quick top-ups more convenient than waiting for a full recharge.
5. A useful 3.6-inch cover display
The 3.6-inch cover display is described as one of the razr 50’s most practical features. Rather than being limited to the time, notifications or basic status information, it provides access to a range of functions without requiring the phone to be unfolded.
The display can be used to check and reply to messages, control music playback, open Google Maps and Gmail, and run selected apps. It can also support games, while the external screen works as a viewfinder for taking selfies with the main camera.
This functionality means the phone can remain folded for a surprising number of everyday tasks, reducing the need to open the larger internal display.
TechManPat’s conclusion
I found the Motorola razr 50’s fully functional cover display to be its standout feature, while the IPX8 rating, camera flexibility, charging options and smooth everyday performance add to its appeal. I also thought the design looked and felt fantastic, with a satisfying folding action and no visible gap between the screens.
