Motorola unveils Razr Flip Phones featuring AI from numerous sources, excluding OpenAI.
Motorola has expanded its Razr lineup with the introduction of three new foldable Android phones. The new models, named Razr, Razr+, and Razr Ultra, each cater to different user needs with variations in chipsets, camera setups, durability features, and pricing.
Motorola Razr (2025)
The base model Razr (2025) comes equipped with a 6.9-inch screen, a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X chipset, Android 15, and an IP48 water resistance rating. It boasts a 50MP main camera sensor, albeit slightly limited compared to the higher models, and a battery life of around 15.5 hours, which is shorter than its 2024 predecessor. The Razr (2025) is positioned as a solid mid-tier foldable with improvements over the 2024 Razr.
Motorola Razr+ (2025)
The Razr+ (2025) offers a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, delivering smooth performance in the affordable flagship range. It sports a 50MP main lens, a 50MP 2x telephoto sensor, and a 32MP internal selfie camera identical to the previous Razr+ (2024), providing impressive photo quality, auto HDR, and 4K video at 60fps. The Razr+ (2025) also features enhanced durability with better dust and water resistance compared to its predecessors. With a recently discounted price of $813.34, it is a competitive option in the foldable market.
Motorola Razr Ultra (2025)
As the top-end model in the Razr series, the Razr Ultra (2025) is expected to offer improved camera hardware, likely better performance, and premium features. Although specific details are not extensively available, it is noted to have a slightly better and larger main camera sensor than the Razr+ (2025), as well as superior secondary camera options. The Razr Ultra is the most premium model, featuring a 7-inch internal screen, a dedicated Moto AI button, and Italian-made Alcantara, satin, faux leather, and wood finishes.
Key Differences
The Razr uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X chipset, while the Razr+ and Ultra utilize the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipsets, respectively, offering better AI and performance optimization. The Razr+ and Ultra have improved cameras over the basic Razr, with the Ultra's sensor and zoom capabilities being noticeably better. The Razr+ improves dust and water resistance relative to its predecessors, while the Razr (2025) has an IP48 rating. The Razr+ (2025) is priced competitively, the Razr is likely less expensive, and the Ultra is expected to be the priciest due to its enhanced specs.
The new Razr phones will be available for preorder on May 7 and will be available unlocked on May 15. While the AI in the new Razr phones is claimed to be better and more useful, it is not quite capable enough to fully offload everything to just yet. The hinges of the new Razr phones are made of titanium, claimed to be four times stronger than before, and the crease on the internal folding display is claimed to be 30% less visible. Motorola believes in the flip-style foldable form factor popularized by Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip and is partnering with AI leaders like Perplexity, Google's Gemini, Meta's Llama, and Microsoft's Copilot for various tasks in Moto AI. However, Motorola did not mention any integration with OpenAI's ChatGPT or Anthropic's Claude in Moto AI. The Razr Ultra is the most powerful flip-style smartphone with the best camera system available, but its performance will be determined upon review.
