This is everything we have heard so far about the Motorola Razr 2022.
Why you can trust Pocket-lint
(Pocket-lint) – Motorola chose not to refresh its foldable Razr phone in 2021, instead, waiting until 2022 to bring us a drastic update. This means it’s been a long while since we’ve seen an entry into the Razr lineup and, understandably, Moto fans are anxious to see what’s in store with the latest version.
This is everything we have heard about the Motorola Razr 2022, including when it might be released, what it might offer and how it might improve on the 2020 model.Motorola Razr 2022 release date and price
Launch event on 2 August 2022 in China
European and global release shortly after
€1,149 / £1,149
The Razr 2022 is expected to launch in China first, with other markets following shortly afterwards. Motorola has an event planned for 2 August 2022, where it is expected to officially unveil the new phone. Notably, the launch event takes place a week prior to Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event, where it is expected to reveal the Z Flip 4.
The last Razr phone launched in September 2022, while the first debuted in November 2019. It could be possible that we see a global release date in September for the Razr 2022, too.
The Razr 2022 is said to have a European MSRP of €1,149 – this is significantly cheaper than the Razr 5G, which launched at €1,399. In the UK, the Razr 5G also carried a £1,399 MSRP, so we might expect a 1:1 exchange rate here, too, putting the UK price at £1,149.Design
No chin
Power button fingerprint sensor
Only available in Quartz Black initially
The design has changed quite significantly since the last generation. Deviating from the classic retro looks and becoming more akin to the popular Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3.
The distinctive chin has been removed, allowing the inner display to extend to the entire length of the device.
The fingerprint sensor has moved, too, now residing on the power button. On the last phone, it was situated on the rear, whereas the original Razr placed it on the chin. In our experience, neither placement was ideal, so this could prove to be a much more convenient location.

The Razr 2022 will be available in Quartz Black only at launch, though, we might see other colours later. Some rumours said there would be a blue variant, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see one appearing at a later date.Display
6.7-inch foldable display
FHD+ resolution
2.65-inch or 3-inch external display
The display sizes have increased on the Razr 2022, both for the internal display and the external.
