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 and is available in a 'Noir Black' colour option. Also, the handset supports e-SIM only.

The hinge of the Moto Razr is the highlight. Unlike the recently launched 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.
