Motorola Razr (2024) review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola Razr (2024) is the entry flip foldable of its year: a 6.9-inch 120 Hz pOLED, the Dimensity 7300, and a 4,200 mAh battery, launched at $699 for 8/256 and now tracking around $150 used across nine listings — the cheapest folding phone in the catalog by a wide margin. IPX8 water sealing is unusual and welcome at this price. The 49/100 everyday score and 24/100 battery endurance are the honest costs of that entry price.

Display and design

The 6.9-inch inner pOLED at 120 Hz and 1,200-nit rated peak scores 66/100 — pleasant rather than exceptional. The form factor does the work: at 188 g folded it is pocket-card compact (87/100), and the IPX8 rating means full water immersion survival, a rarity among hinges of any year. The external display handles notifications and quick replies without unfolding.

Performance

The Dimensity 7300 scores 49/100 everyday and 15/100 gaming — the flip category's entry silicon. Three years of OS support from 2024 leaves the shortest practical runway in the current lineup; at the used price, the phone is what it is today.

Camera

A 50 MP stabilized main and 13 MP ultrawide score 26/100 — the familiar flip package, with the cover-display selfie trick (shooting with the main camera while closed) the form factor's genuine camera advantage. 4K30 video is the ceiling.

Battery and charging

The 4,200 mAh battery scores 24/100 on endurance with 30 W charging (12/100) — the flip category's combined ceiling at its lowest. Moderate use clears a day; refills take patience.

Verdict

At around $150 used, the Razr (2024) is the impulse-priced foldable: IPX8-sealed, pocketable, and honest about everything it is not. Nothing else folds for less. Buyers wanting the category's current best should see the Razr Plus (2024) or the Razr 60 Ultra; buyers wanting the form factor cheaply have arrived.
