The cat\u2019s out of the bag, after many, many leaks of the new Razr foldables from Motorola, they are now official. We got a chance to spend a couple of hours with the new Razr\u2019s, ahead of today\u2019s unveiling, and honestly, they are pretty impressive.
\nLet\u2019s keep in mind that the Razr and Razr+ are basically the same phone. The biggest difference is the processor (Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 on the Razr and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 on the Razr+), as well as the outer display. And because of the smaller outer display, the Razr is able to hold a larger battery. Otherwise, they are the same phone. So keep that in mind as we talk about them here.
\nIndustrial, yet stunning, design
\nMotorola said that with the Razr and Razr+, they are looking to target designers and content creators. Stating that those markets are about 80% of the market, and they are also the most influential over the entire market. So design here was a big deal, and you can see that in a number of choices Motorola made here.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s talk about the colors. On the Razr, Motorola has Sage Green, Vanilla Cream and Summer Lilac. All of which are pretty stunning and don\u2019t look like any other phone on the market. Then there\u2019s the Razr+ in Infinite Black, Glacier Blue and Viva Magenta. And to be honest, the Viva Magenta is stunning, but unfortunately it is exclusive to T-Mobile.
\nNow let\u2019s talk about that back material. On all colors of the Razr, and the Viva Magenta color of the Razr+, Motorola is using vegan leather. Which looks and does feel amazing. While the infinite black and glacier blue colors use a frosted glass backside. They look great, but nothing beats that vegan leather look and feel, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

Motorola has always been pretty well-known for their industrial design, which is great because it means their phones are more durable. But on the other hand, that also means they aren\u2019t as beautiful. But I think Motorola hit a good middle ground with the Razr family 2023. There\u2019s some curves here that make the Razr beautiful, while also keeping it fairly durable.
\nThat huge cover display on the Razr+
\nYou\u2019ve no doubt seen that huge display on the Razr+, I mean, how could you not? It\u2019s literally the entire backside of the phone. It comes in at 3.6-inches and it\u2019s basically a square, at a 1:1 aspect ratio. That\u2019s similar to foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold 4, but on its main display. And it\u2019s one of the things that I dislike about the fold-style foldables. However, here, I think it works. As this is on the outer display, and not likely something you would use exclusively all-day long. But if you need to handle some notifications, fire off a quick email, or pay attention to navigation while in a new city, it works.
\nWhat\u2019s cool here is that you can use literally any app on that cover display. There\u2019s no limitations here, and Motorola has told us that every app they\u2019ve used has worked. This is thanks to how Android works in general. But Motorola was able to optimize the operating system to work with each app.<\/p>\n

In fact, I tried apps that often times give me issues on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4, like Instagram, and it worked. Now is it the best way to experience Instagram? Of course not. But the thing here is that, it works.
\nShould you buy the Motorola Razr?
\nIt\u2019s hard to say after only spending a little over an hour with the two devices, but I did come away really impressed here. Now of course, we still have Samsung and the Galaxy Z Flip 5\/Fold 5 coming later this Summer, so that\u2019s something to keep in mind. But Motorola did just take a giant leap ahead of Samsung here.
\nThe pricing on the Motorola Razr+ is also pretty impressive. Despite this very large, cover display, and super high-refresh rate displays here, Motorola was able to keep it to $999. With the regular Razr set to be considerably cheaper than that, when it launches in a few months. While Samsung was the one to push foldables below the $1,000 price point, I think Motorola might be the one to push it below $700. Making it even more accessible to consumers.
