The Motorola Razr 5G packs in a 6.2-inch foldable display with a 21:9 CinemaVision aspect ratio. “We found an average user flips razr 40 times per day, while power users flips razr 100 times a day,” Motorola said in a release. “Our flip cycling test showed razr is designed to withstand up to 200,000 flips, meaning it would take a power user over 5 years to reach that level of use.” The new Razr also carries over the software tweaks delivered to the external display of the first generation model. The company said that the users can also access specific apps like YouTube Music, Google Maps and Spotify from the external display with the users also having the ability to reply to text messages.
