Motorola Razr (2025) — The Budget Foldable Setting the U.S. Standard

Introduction

Imagine stepping into 2025 with a foldable phone that doesn’t break the bank but still delivers premium features—say hello to the Motorola Razr (2025). Released to U.S. consumers in early summer, this sleek yet affordable foldable has become a go-to for buyers who want the latest form factor without the flagship price. It strikes a rare balance of design, performance, and value that’s hard to ignore.

Design & Display: Sleek, Durable, Social-Ready

This Razr revamp maintains its iconic flip design but adds a touch of durability and flair. The vegan leather finish in Pantone-inspired colors gives it a chic, elevated feel. Open it, and you’ll find a 6.9-inch AMOLED main screen with buttery smooth 165Hz refresh, plus a 3.6-inch secondary pOLED outer display—perfect for glances and selfie-capture efficiency.

Performance & Battery: Solid Power Under the Hood

Under the hood, the Razr 2025 packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X chipset—a solid mid-range chip that handles everything from social apps to light gaming with ease. The 4,500 mAh battery impressed us with over 13.5 hours of real-world usage, including social media, streaming, and photo shoots. Plus, it supports both 30W wired and 15W wireless charging—giving U.S. users daily practicality without constant tethering.

Camera & AI Tools: Versatile and Intelligent

Camera specs mirror its predecessor with a 50 MP main, 13 MP ultrawide, and 32 MP front sensor, delivering crisp daylight shots. Low-light is acceptable, not stellar—but the inclusion of Motorola’s new AI tools like “Remember This” (save screen content quickly) and “Pay Attention” (app-aware glance features) adds value beyond standard imaging.

Why U.S. Users Love It

The Razr (2025) shines for mainstream buyers targeting premium features on a budget. Its flip design makes it an attention grabber, the screen is smooth enough for Netflix binge, and the battery lasts through workdays without issue. Plus, with U.S. carrier trade-in deals and e-commerce discounts, it’s often more affordable than many mid-range phones.
