Motorola’s latest smartphones are getting some sweet carrier deals. From the latest foldables to the budget models, the company is starting promotions on two major US carriers, although the approach is slightly different. T-Mobile is leaning hard into the first-ever Motorola Razr Fold, while Verizon is making the regular Motorola Razr 2026 and Moto G 2026 easier to grab for customers who want something cheaper.

T-Mobile gets the flashiest Razr deal

The Motorola Razr, Motorola Razr+, and Motorola Razr Fold are all headed to the T-Mobile network. The flip and notebook-style foldable phones are arriving on May 28, 2026, while the Razr+ is only listed as coming in the months ahead. The big launch offer is clearly the Razr fold. New and existing T-Mobile customers can get the “Motorola Razr Fold on Us” or up to $1,700 off eligible Motorola devices when switching or adding a line with no trade-in on Experience Beyond or Go5G Next.

The standard Motorola Razr is also eligible for an “on Us” offer, or up to $800 off eligible Motorola devices, on Experience More, Experience Beyond, Go5G Plus, or Go5G Next. The offers are paid through 24 monthly bill credits.

Verizon keeps the offer simpler

Verizon’s Motorola push is less flashy. The carrier is offering new and existing customers the opportunity to get the Motorola Razr 2026 or the Moto G 2026 “on Us” with a new line on myPlan, with terms applying. Verizon’s own Motorola page lists the Razr 2026 at $799.99 retail and highlights a no-trade-in “on us” offer with a new line on myPlan.

The Razr 2026 is also available through Visible, Verizon’s digital-first wireless brand. The company is pairing the device offer with a three-year price lock on base monthly rates for myPlan and myHome network plans.

HMD Smartphone

Finnish smartphone brand HMD has launched a new budget phone in India, and it looks quite familiar. The phone is called the HMD Vibe 2 5G, and its back panel appears to take more than just inspiration from the iPhone 17 Pro. It has a wide camera bar stretching across much of the upper rear panel, just like Apple’s latest Pro iPhone, but with only two cameras instead of three.

That VPN you are running on your Android 16 device may not be doing as much as you think. A newly discovered bug in Android 16 allows any app on your device to send traffic outside your VPN tunnel, exposing your real IP address to the internet, regardless of which VPN you use or how locked down your settings are.

The vulnerability was first reported by a Zurich-based security engineer going by the handle @cybaqkebm, and was later flagged by VPN provider Mullvad, which confirmed the bug affects all VPN apps on Android 16, not just its own.
