After launching the Moto Razr 50 Ultra in India in July, Motorola has launched the Moto Razr 50. This is a standard variant with slightly lower specifications such as a smaller cover display, slightly slower charging speed, less RAM and less in-built storage. However, the Razr 50 has a bigger battery than the Razr 50 Ultra. We have been using the phone for a while now, and we think the phone is quite attractive. So when we saw the Razr 50 selling for Rs 50,000 on Amazon India, we were convinced that this phone could be a good buy for some users. Here are 4 reasons why you should buy it, and one reason why you shouldn’t buy it.

Discount offer on Moto Razr 50 on Amazon India

First, let’s take a look at the offer running on Amazon India. The Moto Razr 50 was launched at Rs 64,999, but it is currently selling for Rs 49,999 on the e-commerce platform. This is actually the same launch offer that Motorola announced at the time of launch. However, the company had said that this offer would be limited, so it may stop after the Amazon Great Indian Festival ends. Talking about the current offer, the Moto Razr 50 is getting a discount of Rs 15,000, which includes a limited period festive discount of Rs 5,000 and an instant bank discount of Rs 10,000. According to Motorola, the bank discount is applicable on many major banks.

Moto Razr 50: 4 reasons to buy, 1 reason to skip

Why should you buy the Moto Razr 50?

– The biggest reason to buy the Moto Razr 50 is that you are getting a flip phone for Rs 50,000. This rarely happens. Although foldables have become more popular now than they were a few years ago, they are still expensive. So the discount on this is a big reason to invest in it.

– The Razr 50 looks quite attractive. As we mentioned above, we have been testing the Razr 50 for the last two weeks and the smartphone has been quite attractive. Everyone always asks what phone it is. Apart from this, even as a user, the design of the Razr 50 is 10/10. It has curved edges and a curved cover display that gives you a very good grip, and feels great when held in the hand. The back of the device has a vegan leather finish, which not only enhances the grip of the phone, but also adds a lot of premiumness to the design of the phone.

Also, we are using the orange colour variant of the Razr 50, and it is quite pop and beautiful. You rarely see such an eye-catching colour on a phone. And since we are talking about design, how can we not mention how compact and lightweight the phone is.

-While the Razr 50’s cover display is smaller than the Razr 50 Ultra’s 4-inch screen, it still uses a larger 3.63-inch external display, making it quite easy to handle most of your tasks without opening the phone. We’ve been using the cover screen to quickly reply to emails and WhatsApp messages, check instant delivery notifications, set alarms, and make and answer calls. It also really helps you reduce your screen time in the long run.

– Another reason to like the Razr 50 is the stock Android experience. Most foldables available in the market have custom UIs, which may or may not be liked by most users. However, a clean stock Android experience never hurts anyone. The Razr 50 does not have any pre-loaded apps and its UI is very cute and minimal.

Why you shouldn’t buy the Razr 50?

—If you are looking to buy a new phone for long-term use, the Razr 50 might not be the right choice. And moreover, if you have a low budget and can stretch it to Rs 50,000 for the Razr 50, we would still suggest you look for a more traditional phone like the Xiaomi 14 Civi. It’s not because the foldable won’t last long. It might. However, the big reason to buy the Razr 50 is that it is a foldable phone that looks good to show off. But the device has flaws. The performance is not that good. Photos are good but mostly over-saturated. Night shots are too warm. So, if you are looking to buy for the long term, you will see the novelty of the phone wearing off and its quirks will soon start bothering you.
