  • Motorola Razr 2022 is tipped to hit other markets, starting with Europe.
  • The clamshell smartphone is expected to be priced on the higher side.
  • The foldable phone first launched in China this August after skipping a generation.

One of the most anticipated phones yet to hit the global markets is the Moto Razr. There was no information about its global launch when it was launched in China. The new information came from a reliable source.

A tipster from Winfuture gave some information on the launch of the Razr 2022. He suggested that the foldable phone will cost a lot in Europe. He thinks it could be over 1200, but thinks the high price could hurt sales.

Motorola RAZR 2022 is about to launch in Europe. At a lovely 1200+ Euro price they're probably gonna sell like 5 of them. Maybe 6.October 10, 2022

The Razr was launched in China at a price of over $1,000. There was an indication that we would be launching in Western markets. Some product images were shared by Evan Blass, which led to speculations about the device's launch outside China.

It's understandable that Quandt's disappointment is due to the fact that the Razr 2022 is a direct competitor to the Z Flip 4. The Z flip 4 is cheaper in Europe.

It makes sense that the price is the same. There is a larger external display, a higher-resolution 50MP primary camera sensor, and an internal display that can support up to 144Hz.

There is no mention of the US release yet. The original Razr was one of the first foldable phones out there, but it wasn't released in the U.S., so hopefully that won't happen again.

The market for foldable smartphones has changed a lot. After the success of foldable phones like the one from Xiaomi and the one from South Korea, the Razr 2022 is late to the game.

It makes sense to price it higher than the flip. It's a significant upgrade from its predecessor, and there's some serious stuff packed in the Razr 2022. It has a large cover screen, a 6.7-inch screen for the main display, and a 50MP camera. It has a nice battery boost and is powered by a flagship chip from the company.

It will need to prove to consumers why they should pay more for a phone that is not a flagship powerhouse.

The recent launch of the Razr in China was a long time coming for the company. It is high time that the company releases its latest foldable phone to the global markets, including the US.
