Motorola releases Android 10 update for its RAZR foldable phone
Motorola has started rolling-out the latest Android 10 update for its premium foldable phone, the RAZR. The new firmware brings all the goodies of the latest Android OS along with some custom tweaks such as added functionality for the external screen as well as several upgrades for the camera. To recall, the device went on sale in India last week.
What's new in the update?
With the update, the external Quick View display has become all the more useful. You can now use it to call your favorite contacts; read and reply to messages without opening the phone. It also gets support for turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, and customizable themes. Moreover, the camera app gets modes like group selfie, portrait, and spot color.
How to download and install the update?
The update is being pushed in a staged manner and hence not everyone will receive it at the same time. To manually search for the update, go to Settings >System Updates, and tap on Download and Install if the firmware has arrived for your device.
