Motorola released a video to point out a few things about the new Razr that people should know before using the phone.
Some of the tips are obvious, like avoiding sharp objects or wiping it dry if it's exposed to a splash of water.
Other care tips include folding the Razr before putting it away in a pocket or bag, and to avoid using your own screen protector, as the phone already has one.
Motorola is also setting expectations by telling users that lumps and bumps under the screen are normal.
Motorola released a video detailing how to care for the new Razr foldable smartphone, presumably because the experience of using it will be different than a traditional smartphone.
It's also taking the opportunity to tell you that "bumps and lumps" under the screen are normal, and that you shouldn't use a screen protector with the new Razr.
