Motorola

The Motorola Razr series has been one of the most recognisable phones in human history. It also sold well and made much money for the now Lenovo-owned Motorola. The flip phones took the foldable flip route in late 2020 and are currently in their 5th generation. We got two phones this year, the Razr 50 Ultra and Razr 50. While the latter looks similar to last year's model, the new Razr 50 is a big upgrade in terms of design when compared to the Razr 40.

Moto G45 5G was launched in India last month as the company's latest addition to the G-series of smartphones. It is the spiritual successor to the Moto G34 that arrived in India earlier this year and features a few hardware tweaks and improvements. A Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset powers the Moto G45 5G and features an IPS LCD screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The rear panel on the handset has a vegan leather finish. It competes with similarly priced smartphones like the iQOO Z9x and the Realme Narzo 70x 5G.

Motorola has diversified its Edge 50 series quite a bit this year compared to last year's Edge 40 series. The company first launched its Edge 50 Pro (from Rs. 29,999), which was then followed by the launch of the Edge 50 Fusion (Rs. 22,999). Recently, it launched its Edge 50, which, at Rs. 27,999, seems to offer good value as well. Out of the three, the Edge 50 Pro is an easy high-end mid-range recommendation, provided you have the budget to spare. Sitting at the very bottom of the Edge 50 series is the Edge 50 Fusion. It's not as feature-packed as the other two, so is it still relevant after the launch of the Edge 50? And is it a good pick for those looking to buy their first mid-range smartphone?
