Japanese carrier SoftBank quietly unveiled a new Motorola flip foldable, the Moto Razr 50s. However, this appears to be just a local variant of the regular Razr 50 that has been around since June. The launch in Japan is set for September 27 (this Friday).
The phone has a 6.9” inner display (1,080 x 2,640px) and a 3.6” cover display (a nearly square 1,056 x 1,066px), both OLED panels. The device is rated IPX8 for water resistance.
Like its global sibling, the Razr 50s is powered by the Dimensity 7300X with 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage. The device runs Android 14 out of the box.
There are three cameras on board – a 50MP main and a 13MP ultra wide on the back, plus a 32MP selfie punch holed into the display.
The 4,200mAh battery can be recharged in just under an hour over USB-C (58 minutes), wireless charging is also supported (Qi). Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 (ax, 2.4/5/6GHz), Bluetooth 5.4 (with aptX-HD, LDAC, LHDC, LC3). This is a 5G phone with a SIM and eSIM, data rates are up to 2.1Gbps down and up to 113Mbps up. 1seg is not supported.
