With the new Razr and Razr+, you might be wondering how fast the new devices are able to charge. Well, luckily, both have the same charging speeds, and that is because they are very similar in specs.
Both Razr’s will charge wirelessly at 5W, and wired at up to 30W. It’s not super fast, but it is pretty decent for wired charging. Of course, wireless charging is a bit of a joke here for Motorola. However, this speed could be due to the size of the phone as well as the battery capacity. Faster wireless charging does drum up more heat, and with the small chassis here, that could cause more issues, like the phone overheating.
Motorola’s never been known for pushing the envelope when it comes to charging speed, so none of this is really a surprise. And in all honesty, the wired charging is faster than what Google offers on the Pixel, so it’s not all bad news. But it is well behind the other Chinese OEMs, especially OnePlus and OPPO which are doing over 100W charging now. Obviously with a foldable, you need to be more careful with the battery, since it has to be two separate batteries in either side of the phone.
Turbo Charger is not included in the box
Probably not that surprising, but the Turbo Charger that Motorola sells, is not included in the box with the Razr. For many, this may not be a big deal, considering that it should still work with virtually any USB charger. Allowing you to use your current charger with the Razr. Since it is only 30W, basically any charger will work. But when you’re paying this much for a phone, you still want to get a charger in the box. Instead, Motorola is only including a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box.
