Cameras have by no means been a powerful swimsuit for Motorola, however it’s giving particular emphasis to the brand new “Photograph Enhancement Engine” that is unique to the Razr+. The corporate says it “makes use of AI” to supply finer picture particulars, higher dynamic vary, improved bokeh, and extra superior noise discount, all on the uncompressed uncooked picture knowledge. The Razr+ additionally will get a couple of further digicam options, akin to Adaptive Stabilization for smoother movies, Motion Shot for if you seize shifting topics, Lengthy Publicity to create gentle trails, and Tremendous Zoom, which boosts your zoomed-in photographs. I am unsure how a lot “AI” has to do with a few of these.
There are two generative AI options, too: Model Sync and Picture Canvas. The previous allows you to snap an image of your outfit (or any form of particular texture), and it will generate 4 photographs utilizing that sample that you would be able to then use as a wallpaper. Magic Canvas allows you to generate photographs by way of a textual content immediate. These two options can be found on each Razrs.
Later within the fall, Motorola will launch “Moto AI,” which it says is powered by each in-house and Google’s massive language fashions. This may embody options like “Catch me up,” which is able to summarize your litter of notifications so you’ll be able to deal with what’s essential. A “Concentrate” function will allow the cellphone to begin recording immediately and transcribe and summarize the recording routinely. Then there’s “Keep in mind this,” which might save onscreen data that you would be able to ask the system for later.

Sadly, all this AI energy does 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.
For comparability, Google and Samsung supply seven years of software program updates on their flagship phones. Longer software program help means extra options down the highway, bug fixes, and safety patches.
Accompanying these new telephones is the Moto Tag, a small AirTags-like accent that helps Bluetooth LE and ultra-wideband tech to assist find misplaced gadgets. It makes use of Google’s Find My Device network and can work with any Android cellphone. Nonetheless, in case you use it with a Moto smartphone, you’ll be able to press the multifunction button on the Tag to remotely seize a photograph.
