Motorola razr 5G 2020 vs razr 2019: all the major differences

Here, we’ll go through the main changes to see exactly what Motorola did to perfect the razr and is it now a phone you might consider for a daily driver. Let’s begin with the looks!

It seems Motorola took note at what audience the foldable phones of that type are getting and made the adjustments to match it better. The Galaxy Z Flip is unquestionably designed to appeal to women with its classy, jewel-like look and now the razr has moved in the same direction. Compared to the 2019 model, the 2020 razr has softer curves and rounder edges, which combined with the new color finishes take its elegance to the next level.

The signature chin of the razr has lost some weight and now slopes down, making the phone more compact and easier to slip in and out of tight pockets. The fingerprint sensor is gone from the front location as well, allowing for a cleaner look. Don’t worry though, there’s still one, but on the back of the phone.

On the bottom, there’s a sign of the first major differences between the two phones. The grill that took most of the bottom of the 2019 razr is gone and in its place, we have a slot for a nano SIM card. As a reminder, the previous Motorola razr only worked with eSIM. The change should made the new razr usable with a lot more carriers that aren’t offering eSIM yet. The 2020 razr keeps the eSIM functionality, making it a dual-SIM phone.

The only element that looks better on the older razr is the main camera. The design on the razr 5G looks a bit more basic than what the previous razr had, although it’s overall smaller. but we agree that’s nitpicking. Meanwhile, the external Quick View display remains the same.

On the inside, the two devices are quite similar. There’s still a notch at the top of the display and a slight curve at the bottom.

This year, the Blush Gold color is complimented by two other: Mercury Silver and Polished Graphite.

Motorola has done a major overhaul of the internals of the razr instead, improving it in almost every aspect. While the main display also remains the same 6.2-inch foldable OLED one, most other parts have been replaced with better ones. Here are the two specs sheets:
