In terms of dimensions, Moto Razr measures 72 x 172 x 6.9mm when unfolded and 72 x 94 x 14mm when folded. The phone weighs around 205 grams. It's available in a 'Noir Black' colour option. It runs on mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor with 6GB of RAM and 128GB storage. The phone houses a 2,510mAh battery with 15W fast charging. Also, the handset supports e-SIM only.

As for the cameras, the Moto Razr has a 16-megapixel rear shooter with f/1.7, 1.22um, EIS, Dual Pixel autofocus (AF), Laser AF, Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) and dual LED flash. It has a 5-megapixel selfie camera on the inside with f/2.0, 1.12um, screen flash.

The hinge of the Moto Razr is the highlight. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, the handset's hinge mechanism leaves no gap when the display is closed. "razr transforms an industry challenge into an engineering breakthrough. The zero-gap hinge allows razr to close with both sides perfectly flush, a cohesive design that also protects the main display," says the company on its website.
