Motorola continues to expand its clamshell foldable lineup with the Razr+ 2025, a sleek new model that sits comfortably between the budget-friendly Razr 2025 and the flagship Razr 2025 Ultra. The twist? This one’s a U.S.-exclusive — even Motorola Canada doesn’t have it on shelves.
But before you get too excited, it’s worth noting that the Razr+ 2025 isn’t a huge leap forward. In fact, it’s nearly identical to last year’s Razr+ 2024, which was itself the North American version of the Razr 50 Ultra. Still, there are some minor upgrades worth checking out — especially if you’re after a balance of style, performance, and nostalgia.
Design and Build
Motorola hasn’t reinvented the wheel here. The Razr+ 2025 keeps the same design language as last year’s model — including the same Pantone-inspired colors like Mocha Mousse (Pantone Color of the Year 2025), Midnight Blue, and Hot Pink. The Hot Pink option gets a velvety texture, while the others sport a soft vegan leather finish that feels premium and grippy.
This year, Motorola added an IP48 rating, improving dust resistance while maintaining the same water resistance level (up to 1.5m for 30 minutes). The hinge now uses titanium reinforcement for better durability — and while that might sound like marketing fluff, the build does feel impressively solid.
Display
The Razr+ 2025’s screens strike a nice balance between the vanilla and Ultra models. Inside, you get a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 165Hz refresh rate, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+ support. It’s sharp, smooth, and stunningly bright at up to 3000 nits.
The 4-inch cover screen is where the magic happens. Borrowed straight from the Ultra, it also runs at 165Hz and supports Dolby Vision — perfect for checking notifications, taking selfies, or even running apps without unfolding the phone.
Performance
Under the hood, the Razr+ 2025 runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It’s a solid performer that handles multitasking and gaming well, but it’s not the same powerhouse as the Snapdragon 8 Elite inside the Ultra.
In day-to-day use, the phone feels fluid and responsive. However, like most foldables, thermal throttling can kick in under extended loads due to the compact design.
Cameras
The Razr+ 2025 features a dual-camera setup:
- 50MP main sensor with OIS (f/1.7)
- 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom (f/2.0)
The photos come out sharp and well-balanced, and the telephoto lens gives you more flexibility than the vanilla Razr’s single camera setup. But the lack of an ultrawide lens is disappointing, especially for group shots and scenic selfies — a missed opportunity on a flip phone that’s practically built for selfies.
Up front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera, which delivers crisp results whether you’re using the inner display or snapping from the cover screen.
Battery and Charging
The Razr+ 2025 packs a 4,000mAh battery, which is modest for 2025 standards and smaller than both the Razr 2025 (4,500mAh) and the Ultra (4,700mAh). In real-world use, it delivers average battery life, just enough to get through a day of moderate use.
Charging is quick though — 45W wired charging can fill it up in under 50 minutes, while 15W wireless charging adds convenience. You also get battery health features like an 80% charging limit and optimized overnight charging.
Software
The phone runs Android 15 with Motorola’s refined Hello UI skin. It’s clean, smooth, and comes with helpful features tucked into the Moto app hub — including gesture controls and smart customization options.
Motorola promises 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches, which is decent, though still behind Samsung and Google’s update timelines.
Verdict
The Motorola Razr+ 2025 is a stylish and capable foldable that nails the essentials — great displays, sleek design, solid performance, and reliable cameras. But it also feels too familiar, offering only minor tweaks over last year’s model.
If you’re upgrading from the Razr+ 2024, this one’s probably not worth it. But if you’re new to foldables, the Razr+ 2025 strikes a fine balance between premium flair and practicality — just don’t expect the best battery life or cutting-edge performance.
Verdict:
✅ Gorgeous dual displays
✅ Premium design with better durability
✅ Solid performance and cameras
❌ No ultrawide lens
❌ Average battery life
❌ Minimal upgrades from 2024
Price: $524.99 (U.S.-only)
