Next Motorola Razr will have 5G, better cameras

The Motorola Razr 2019 is a foldable smartphone with a great design but is nowhere near as capable as people wanted it to be.

At the same time, the update makes landscape navigation better. Directions don’t take up the length of the screen and popping up the settings menu will no longer cover the whole...
