Published the first picture taken on the camera of a clamshell smartphone Moto RAZR 2022

Motorola has published on the Weibo social network a picture taken with the main camera of the Moto RARZ 2022 clamshell smartphone, which is expected to premiere on August 11. Typically, mobile device manufacturers try to take bright and memorable photos, or vice versa, they take photos in difficult conditions (for example, with a lack of light) in order to demonstrate the quality capabilities of the camera. But in this case, there is neither one nor the other – the frame is far from the most revealing.
Let’s hope that one of these days more clear photos from the RAZR 2022 camera will appear on the Web.

The main screen of the device is characterized by a diagonal of 6.7 inches, the diagonal of the additional front screen is 2.7 inches. The hardware platform of the smartphone is based on SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. All these data have already been officially confirmed.
