I, the preface: 4-inch large external screen in the right direction
moto is the pioneer of longitudinal folding phone technology, and its razr series of longitudinal folding screen has undergone nearly 5 years of development since its introduction.
Compared with horizontally folding phones, this compact, vertically folding design is more in line with the preferences of female users, as was the case with the popular flip phones back in the day.
In addition, vertically folded phones are usually equipped with a secondary screen, so how to fully optimize this feature and simplify the design of the interactive interface has become the key to enhance the appeal of these products.
Last year, moto introduced a 3.6-inch large secondary screen into the ranks of vertically folded phones, which not only refreshed the industry standard in terms of size, but also revolutionized the functionality and user experience.
This year, moto once again led the industry trend, increasing the size of the external screen to 4.0 inches and integrating more third-party application adaptations to further enhance the utility of the external screen, with the help of the vertical folding machine debut of the Snapdragon 8s Gen3 performance of the Iron Triangle, it will become the strongest performance of the first half of the year 2024, which is the new generation of moto's small folding, moto razr 50 Ultra AI GenQ.

VII, charging and battery life: 50 minutes of full power in exchange for nearly 10 hours of strong battery life
Lenovo moto razr 50 Ultra AI Yuanqi built-in a 4000mAh battery, support for 45W wired fast charging (standard 68W fast charging adapter), and in the folding phone compatible with the rare wireless charging as well as wireless reverse charging capabilities, the power of 15W and 5W respectively.
In this regard, we also conducted a series of tests on the wired charging and battery life of the moto razr 50 Ultra.
-Charging test
Extinguish the screen from 1% to start charging test, 10 minutes of power charged to 31%, 20 minutes of power has been more than half, reaching 54%, half an hour of power charged to 73%, and finally completely filled with a full 50 minutes.
--Battery life test
For the battery life test, we use a professional battery life test tool - Battery Dog produced by Fast Tech to conduct the test.
In the test program, the default will be carried out to 20% of the power test, at the same time, including CPU high-pressure, CPU multi-threaded, AI recognition, image browsing, video playback and web browsing of all the test items will be checked, through the simulation of the user's use of scenarios, to the greatest extent possible to restore the real load, infinitely close to the real power consumption situation.
During the test, in order to ensure that the environmental variables remain uniform across all models and to ensure the accuracy of the test scores, Battery Dog automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to 50%, turns off auto-brightness, and adjusts the volume to 30%.
After the battery dog uninterrupted test, moto razr 50 Ultra power consumption from 100% to 20% in 8 hours, 33 minutes and 03 seconds, after discounting, full battery life of about 10 hours, which endurance results in the vertical folding cell phone at the top.
VIII, summarize: the strongest comprehensive experience in the same category of small folding
The moto razr 50 Ultra AI Yuanqi is moto's 5th vertically flip phone, in which we see the most mature side of the vertically flip machine.
As the pioneer of the oversized external screen, this generation of moto razr 50 Ultra AI Yuanqi even expands the playfulness and diversity of the external screen to a new level.
