I’ve always loved the Motorola Razr series of phones. The first foldable Razr didn’t live up to many people’s expectations. However, the new 2023 model has just been released and I’m pretty impressed so far. Should I get one … so tempted.
Taken from Enagdget … Motorola clearly read reviews of Samsung’s Z Flip series and took notes. The Moto Razr+, a foldable phone that’s like a standard 6.9-inch handset when open, offers a large 3.6-inch screen when closed. That addresses one of the most common complaints about the Galaxy Z Flip 4 — the size of its Cover Display. It’s a cramped 1.9-inch window with a limited selection of widgets that you can use. The Razr+, meanwhile, pretty much runs full Android with some tweaks. There’s something about using the outer display that feels almost pager-like and sent me into nostalgic delight. The Moto Razr+, which goes on sale today for $999, might appeal to both old souls and early adopters alike.
Design
Currently in its fourth generation (if you count the 5G model released in 2020 as a second-gen), the Razr+ has two notable differences from its predecessors. The first is the larger display. The second is something only people over 30 might notice: The Razr+ doesn’t have a chin cupping the bottom like on the iconic original Razr. I don’t mind it, but it does cost it some nostalgia points.
Pros
- Useful and roomy external display
- Folds in half to become very compact
- Can be own tripod for photos or videos
Cons
- Cameras cannot compare to flagships
- Long-term durability and security remains a concern
