I Checked Out the Motorola Razr Fold and Its Hinge Feels a Little Creaky
Key Points:
- Motorola unveiled a new lineup of flip and folding phones—Razr, Razr+, Razr Ultra, and the Razr Fold—targeting competitors like Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, with prices ranging from $799.99 to $1,899.99.
- The base Razr model is budget-friendly with essential features, including a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and distinctive Pantone-partnered color options designed for grip and style.
- The Razr+ offers upgraded specs such as a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, a larger external display, and a bigger 4,500mAh battery with faster charging, but its thicker chassis makes one-handed opening difficult.
- The premium Razr Ultra boasts a Snapdragon 8 Elite platform, 16GB RAM, 512GB storage, a 7-inch inside screen, a 5,000mAh battery with 68W fast charging, and unique textured finishes like Orient Blue Alcantara and wood-like Cocoa.
- The Razr Fold competes directly with Samsung’s foldables, featuring advanced camera capabilities including 100x SuperZoom and a Sony sensor, but has a bulky camera bump and a first-generation titanium hinge with noticeable crease and physical resistance; it also supports the Moto Pen Ultra stylus with a fluid writing experience but a clunky charging dock.
