The new Motorola RAZR, which was unveiled in Dubai on 25 October, will be available for purchase in stores on 11 November. 

Retailing at Dh 2,599, the jaw-dropping smartphone is a stunning re-imagination of one of the absolute icons in mobile phone history, and hopes win over consumers with a dazzling combination of beauty and brains.
