Cameras have by no means been a powerful go well with for Motorola, nevertheless it’s giving particular emphasis to the brand new “Photo Enhancement Engine” that is unique to the Razr+.

Unfortunately, all this AI energy would not assist Motorola enhance its software program replace coverage. These new Razr smartphones will solely get three Android OS updates (they launch with Android 14), and 4 years of safety updates.
