Motorola just announced a brand-new Razr foldable smartphone. Unfortunately, it's only coming to China for now, so US fans will have to stick with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 or the older Motorola Razr for small folding devices. Of course, Motorola could decide to release it in the US later, and we're hopeful that it does because it looks like a solid device.

The new Moto Razr 2022 features the top-of-the-line Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, so performance should be stellar. It'll be available in configurations with 8BG RAM and 256GB of storage or 12GB RAM and 512GB of storage.

There's also a 6.7-inch OLED display with a matte finish that looks attractive. On the outside of the phone is a 2.7-inch Quick View display that lets you see notifications and other information without opening the main display. Motorola also added a cool Flex View feature that enables you to fold the phone so it stands independently. This could be handy for taking photos or videos of yourself since the phone won't fall over while you're not directly interacting with it.

As for the camera, the new Moto Razr includes a 50MP instant focus camera with optical image stabilization (OIS).

Motorola didn't announce a price for the Chinese version of the phone, though it did say that it would launch in China today, Aug. 11. Releases outside of China weren't even mentioned, so we'll have to see what the future holds in terms of getting our hands on the slick-looking device.
