Affordable, adorable, and surprisingly practical – the Motorola Razr (2025) may not be flawless, but it absolutely wins hearts where it counts.
Let’s be real: the Motorola Razr (2025) isn’t a phone that competes with the flashiest flagships. But it’s not trying to. Instead, it’s carved out a charming little niche for itself – offering a foldable phone experience without the eye-watering price tag.
This clamshell cutie retails at around $700 and gives users a taste of foldable tech without requiring them to leap into the deep end with a Galaxy Z Flip 6 or other premium contenders.
And that’s exactly why it’s so compelling – it knows what it is and leans into it unapologetically.
Foldables for the rest of us
Foldable phones have been around for a while, but they’re still far from mainstream. A year ago, foldables made up only about 1.5% of the smartphone market, and that number hasn’t exploded since. The Razr (2025) offers an entry point to this rare club at a cost that’s within reach for many.
No, it won’t blow your mind with specs. It’s powered by a modest MediaTek chip and the storage isn’t the fastest either. Gamers and heavy multitaskers might feel frustrated – especially when trying 3D games or heavier apps that can cause overheating and sluggish performance. It’s not made for that. Period.
What it gets right
Despite those compromises, there’s a lot to love. The foldable inner display is bright and vivid with only a minor crease – par for the course with any foldable, really. The outer display is actually functional too: you can run apps, control settings, and check notifications without flipping the phone open.
Battery life? Surprisingly decent – not a marathon runner, but respectable, comparable even to an iPhone 16. And then there’s the design – compact, stylish, and absolutely pocket-friendly. There’s a certain charm in its unapologetically retro-modern vibe. Who says flip phones are only for women?
More than a gimmick
The Razr (2025) doesn’t pretend to be something it’s not. Instead, it embraces its limitations and offers a fresh, functional, and fun experience. It’s not a flagship killer, but it’s the perfect foldable for anyone curious about the form factor without diving into a $1000+ commitment.
In short: it’s not perfect, but it’s honest. And sometimes, that’s all you need in a phone.
Give it a shot – you might be surprised how quickly it grows on you.
