Lenovo has just unveiled Moto Razr 2019 edition at a high price of $1500. It's a foldable phone as well as a Flip phone, so naturally that high price is expected. Other foldables from Huawei ( Mate X 5G ) and Samsung ( Notorious Galaxy Fold ) are also very expensive devices.
Both Samsung and Huawei had their foldable phones to ship with high-end, flagship specs while Moto Razr 2019 only has specs of a mid-range smartphone. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 processor which are now often seen on devices priced Rs 10,000 in India.
So is it worth $1500 ?
In my opinion, people who are buying this should be buying this only for that nostalgic flip out mechanism. You can't deny that there is a very satisfying feeling of answering a call by flipping out the screen or cancelling / hanging up on someone by forcefully closing the 'lid'. It reminds me of Patrick Jane from the hit TV show 'Mentalist'.
The foldable mechanism, according to experts online, is one of the best as well. It's different from both Samsung and Huawei. We can safely say it wouldn't exhibit Galaxy Fold like breaking issues which we saw on those early versions of Fold.
There are currently no other phone like Moto Razr 2019. So the price - $1500 - is justified.
We have to give to Lenovo/Motorola for even trying out making a device like this. For sure, we will see better foldable devices with better specs and features in future from Motorola.
