Motorola has introduced the latest Razr 50 series foldable phones, comprising the Razr 50 and Razr 50 Ultra. These new models succeed last year's Razr 40 and 40 Ultra, bringing several notable improvements. One significant enhancement is the increased size of the secondary screen on the standard model.
