Motorola launched the Razr 40 in India last year as one of the cheapest flip-style foldable smartphones of the country. It then launched Razr 50 series earlier this year but only brought the Ultra model to India until now, when the brand has teased the India launch of the vanilla Motorola Razr 50 model.
Motorola Razr 50: India Launch Teased
Update 29/08/2024: Motorola India has officially confirmed that the Razr 50 will launch in India on September 9, 2024. It will be available for purchase via Motorola’s own website, Amazon India, and leading offline retail stores.
Motorola teased the India launch of the Razr 50 on X, with a video showcasing the device and the caption stating, “Keep a look out for the latest smartphone with a massive external display. We bet you’re going to love this.” There’s no exact date given by the brand as to when the foldable is launching but we suspect it could happen by the end of this month or early next month.

Motorola Razr 50: India Price (Expected)
Considering the Razr 40 began at Rs 59,999 in India and the latestRazr 50 Ultra has a price tag of Rs 99,999, we expect Motorola to price the Razr 50 somewhere between Rs 70,000 to Rs 80,000. However, this is just a speculation on the basis of brand’s past pricing trends and we’ll have to wait for an official announcement from Motorola.
