Remix Reviews: A Day in the Life with the motorola razr 50 Ultra

If there was one phone that dominated the early 2000s, it was the motorola razr. Sported by the likes of socialites such as Paris Hilton as the must-have accessory (dripped and bedazzled in Swarovski crystals, of course), the unrivalled flip phone was more than just a gadget - it was a cultural symbol of the generation.
Well, Remix has the inside scoop - the motorola razr is back and it’s officially flipped the script, making waves as the new motorola razr 50 ultra. After twenty years, the motorola razr has been reinvented, cleverly blending cutting-edge innovation with Motorola’s already very stylish gizmo. Now supercharged with AI, Motorola’s latest phone flips open a world of fresh ways to interact, capture, and create - even without necessarily having to flip it open. Yes, you heard us right.

As Remix’s marketing and editorial assistant, I had the chance to put Motorola’s newest gadget to the test during a day out, curious to see if it could live up to its iconic reputation.
Before I even flipped open the phone, the external display made it clear why this device had been generating so much hype. Boasting a large 4.0” external screen, I could effortlessly snap photos and videos without unfolding the gadget. The phone’s clever flex design let me get creative in so many ways. Standing upright, my phone doubled as the perfect mirror for touch-ups, a stylish little camcorder, or an impromptu photobooth setup.
The phone is equipped with the most advanced razr camera technology yet, featuring a stunning 50MP high-resolution main camera, moto AI photo enhancements, and Google Photos AI-powered editing tools. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to test out the camera - and I can confirm that this phone is a content creator’s dream. From the cutest up-close selfies to stunning shots from a distance, the razr’s 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom has you (and me) covered. I took the phone on a shopping trip, and it excelled at capturing every detail I wanted, enhancing vibrant colours with absolute clarity.
And that’s one of the best parts: the new motorola Flex View takes creativity to the next level. It’s the perfect setup for hands-free photos and shake-free videos, making it a game-changer for creating content - hello TikTok users, I’m talking to you. You can even use the built-in Photobooth feature on both the internal and external display, which creates the perfect collage for you to share instantly on any other platform.
With built-in apps like Google’s Gemini, my day ran 100 times smoother. It’s like having my own little personal assistant! By pressing and holding the power button, I could access Gemini directly from the external display, getting instant help with whatever I needed—like finding the nearest matcha spot. Typing a few things into Gemini, I quickly discovered how this smart feature could make any task a breeze - it could create your next workout regime for you!
The motorola razr 50 ultra raises the bar with its perfect blend of style, functionality, and creativity, making it one exceptional device. With its chic soft vegan leather finish, powerful battery, and durable glass design, it’s as stylish as it is durable - and I have no doubt it’ll become the ultimate it-girl accessory from now on. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
