As social distancing and working from home becomes the norm to fight the novel coronavirus, events around the world - from tech and fashion to auto and entertainment - have been cancelled or rescheduled.
Keeping up with the times we live in, Motorola turned to a virtual India launch for its highly-anticipated Moto Razr. The foldable phone, that pays tribute to the original Razr - launched more than a decade ago, was announced last year.
Having hit international markets earlier, it is finally coming to India at Rs 1,24,999.
The revived Razr sports a 6.2-inch foldable plastic OLED HD (2142 x 876p) screen, which turns into a 2.7-inch glass-covered OLED (600 x 800p) when folded.
