Motorola is refreshing its Razr lineup with new flip phones built for different budgets and needs. The Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr+ are both available for pre-order on May 14 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Motorola.com, going on sale universally unlocked on May 21.

The Razr starts at $799.99, and the Razr+ comes in at 1,099.99. Both run Android 16 out of the box and share the same iconic flip design that the Motorola Razr family is known for.

What does the Motorola Razr+ bring to the table?

The Razr+ is the more premium of the two, and it shows. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of storage. The main display is a 6.9-inch Extreme AMOLED panel running at 165Hz with a peak brightness of 3000 nits and full Dolby Vision support.

The external display is a 4.0-inch Extreme AMOLED panel, also at 165Hz, giving you full app access without opening the phone. You can wake it with a hand hover, silence alarms, or even start a Google Gemini conversation just by saying “Hey Google.”

On the camera side, you get a dual 50MP system with OIS on the main shooter, a 50MP ultrawide with macro capability, and a 32MP front camera. The 4500mAh battery supports 45W TurboPower charging and wireless charging. The Razr+ comes in Pantone Mountain View with a woven-inspired jacquard finish and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

What makes the Motorola Razr a compelling buy at $799?

The base Razr runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7450X with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The main display is also a 6.9-inch Extreme AMOLED, though it runs at 120Hz rather than the Razr+’s 165Hz.

The external display steps down to a 3.6-inch Extreme AMOLED at 90Hz, still capable of running full apps, checking notifications, and replying to messages without flipping the phone open. The camera setup mirrors the Razr+ with a 50MP main shooter, 50MP ultrawide with macro, and a 32MP selfie camera.

The Motorola Razr actually edges ahead on battery with a 4800mAh cell delivering over 36 hours of life on a single charge, supported by 30W TurboPower charging and wireless charging.

It also adds MIL-STD-810H military durability certification, making it the first flip phone in the category to meet that standard. Color options include Pantone Hematite, Violet Ice, Sporting Green, and Bright White.
