Motorola has finally announced a release date for its highly anticipated foldable Razr after a slight delay last month.
The Razr will now be out on February 6th for $1,499, with preorders starting on January 26th.
The latest preorder date comes exactly one month after the initially planned 26th date, which Motorola changed due to demand for the foldable device being higher than it had anticipated.
For those who want to preorder, it will be available exclusively at Verizon, Walmart, and on Motorola’s website. The phone will also be available in stores starting on February 6th. However, it’s not clear how easy or difficult it’ll be to just walk in and buy one on the release date; the delay due to demand could suggest that there will be fewer units available.
Motorola announced it was reviving the Razr last year, making it Motorola’s first foldable smartphone. The design is inspired by the original Moto RAZR flip phone, but it has a flexible 6.2-inch display and modern Android specs. But the poor cameras and midrange Snapdragon 710 are less than ideal on a premium-priced device like this. As previously announced, the Razr will be sold exclusively on Verizon in the United States. Information on the international release date is still to come.
