The Motorola Razr flaunts a main 6.2-inch Flex View P-OLED panel. It supports 2142x 876 pixels and has an aspect ratio of 21:9. You can use it by unfolding the phone.

When the unit is locked, users can use a 2.69-inch secondary Quick View screen that has a resolution of 800x 600 pixels. When folded, it becomes a pocket-sized gadget measuring 94.5x 71.95x 14.06 mm. The second display can show updates and basic tasks such as replying to emails. Quick View is integrated with the Google Assistant, which promotes swift response. Information can seamlessly transition between Quick View and Flex View displays.
