Motorola is gearing up for the launch of its latest foldable phones, the Motorola Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra, scheduled for June 25. This announcement follows the recent release of Motorola’s ancient flagship phones in European markets and India. The introduction of these new foldable devices highlights Motorola’s strategy to grip the different segments of users who are interested in foldable technology but have varying budget preferences.
Pricing and Availability
According to recent leaks, the pricing for the Motorola Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra has been revealed. The Motorola Razr 50 is expected to come with a price tag of EUR 899, which is just around Rs 80,460. On the other hand, the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra is targeted to be priced at EUR 1,199, around Rs 107,310, for the variant with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
This pricing strategy seems to align with last year’s models, where the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra was introduced in India at a price of Rs 89,999, while the Motorola Razr 40 was available at Rs 59,999. Given this pattern, it is to hope that the new models could launch in India at similar price points.
