Motorotorola has shaken up the flip-phone scene with its 2025 razr family: the motorola razr ultra, motorola razr+ and motorola razr. Each model marries on-device AI with refined hardware, durable design and fresh features—without rocking the casual flip-phone vibe we’ve come to love.
A Smarter Flip Experience
Beyond opening and closing, the new razr series leans on moto ai to help you stay on top of things. Built-in tools like Catch Me Up, Pay Attention and Remember This work right from the external display, flagging missed messages, highlighting important info and storing snippets for later. A “Next Move” widget can spot, say, a recipe or itinerary on screen and offer related actions—like saving key steps or crafting a themed playlist—while “Smart Connect with AI” lets you beam content to a TV or mirror your screen on a PC with a simple voice or text prompt. On the razr ultra, you even get a dedicated AI Key for instant access, plus hands-free queries and transcription when you prop it open.
Strength Under the Hood
Power levels rise as you move up the lineup. The razr ultra rides on a cutting-edge 3 nm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip—bringing 45% faster CPU, 40% faster GPU and a beefed-up AI engine. Step down to the razr + and you’re on Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, clocking up to 3.0 GHz for snappy multitasking and gaming. The base razr isn’t left out: its MediaTek Dimensity 7400X boosts AI tasks by around 15% versus its predecessor, all while sipping power.
Form Meets Function
Motorola didn’t just tweak internals; materials get a glow-up too. The razr ultra debuts Italian-made Alcantara and FSC-certified wood paired with Pantone-inspired hues, while the razr + sports leather-inspired finishes (including Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year). The base razr offers nylon- and acetate-inspired textures in four on-trend tones. A titanium-reinforced hinge plate (4× stronger than before) and Ultra Thin Glass deliver a smoother 30% more fluid fold, and IP48 protection keeps dust and water at bay.
Cameras and More
Flip phones aren’t just for bitesized chatting anymore—they can be full-blown content machines. The razr ultra packs a first-ever triple 50 MP camera array with ultra-wide, super-zoom and Dolby Vision video. The razr + brings a 50 MP main plus 50 MP telephoto lens, and the standard razr rocks a 50 MP shooter alongside 13 MP ultra-wide/macro optics. Across the trio, moto ai powers dynamic-range boosts, noise reduction and a “Signature Style” filter that learns your taste, plus gesture-controlled shooting, tripod-style Flex View and adaptive stabilization.
