Motorola’s Razr flip phone relaunched as a folding-screen smartphone

The Motorola Razr, the company’s first-ever clamshell-style flexible display smartphone that folds completely, is now available to pre-order from EE.

While the Motorola Razr was priced at £1,170 ($1,500) at launch, EE’s prices are extortionate if you want it on a monthly contract. Considering EE have an exclusive on the phone, this is a real shame.

The cheapest monthly plan is £94 a month on a two year contract with £100 upfront. For this, you get you 10GB of data a month. This means you will be paying £2,356 for the device over two years.

EE are offering 10 plans in total available, all on 24-month contracts, and none of them are cheap.

10GB data: £94 a month, £100 phone cost – Total cost over two years £2,356
10GB data: £99 a month, £100 phone cost (one swappable benefit included) – Total cost over two years £2,476
30GB data: £99 a month, £50 phone cost – Total cost over two years £2,426
30GB data: £104 a month, £50 phone cost (one swappable benefit included) – Total cost over two years £2,546
60GB data: £99 a month, £50 phone cost (60GB for the price of 30GB off) – Total cost over two years £2,426
60GB data: £104 a month, £50 phone cost (one swappable benefit included) (60GB for the price of 30GB offer) – Total cost over two years £2,546
100GB data: £104 a month, £30 phone cost – Total cost over two years £2,526
100GB data: £109 a month, £30 phone cost (two swappable benefits included) – Total cost over two years £2,646
Unlimited data: £109 a month, £30 phone cost – Total cost over two years £2,646
Unlimited data: £114 a month, £30 phone cost (two swappable benefits included) – Total cost over two years £2,766

At the time of writing, there are no details on a SIM free option, either from EE or Motorola.

Motorola Razr is foldable flip-phone that has a 6.2-inch screen flexible screen and runs on Android.

The Razr is officially a folding phone, taking its standard clamshell design and reworking it into something more suited to 2019. The device flips open to reveal a 6.2-inch foldable plastic OLED screen, albeit with that chunky curved chin at the bottom, which now houses a fingerprint sensor and a USB-C charging port.

When the phone is folded, there’s a 2.7-inch glass-covered OLED display, something Motorola is referring to as the Quick View display. Similar to the front of the Galaxy Fold, this front screen can show notifications, music controls and take pictures using the 16MP front-facing camera.
