Motorola Razr (2025) review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Motorola Razr (2025) is the standard-bearer flip foldable for the year: a 6.9-inch 120 Hz pOLED that folds in half, a 50 MP stabilized main camera, and a 4,500 mAh battery for $699 new in the 8/256 configuration. The Dimensity 7400 keeps it midrange-fast (18/100 gaming), and the used market prices the form factor aggressively — examples cluster around $259. It is a style purchase with honest, known trade-offs: battery, charging speed, and the IP48-only sealing inherent to hinges.

Display and design

The 6.9-inch inner pOLED runs at 120 Hz with 1,200 nits peak — a 66/100 screen that is pleasant rather than exceptional. Folded, it shrinks to pocket-card size, though at 188 g it is heavier than its flat footprint suggests. The hinge earns IP48 dust resistance rather than full immersion sealing — a structural limit of the category, worth knowing before a beach trip.

Performance

The Dimensity 7400 delivers everyday performance of 55/100 — fine for the interface and media, not for serious gaming (18/100). Motorola commits to three years of OS updates, shorter than the flagship norm. The pitch here is the form factor; the silicon is a means to it.

Camera

The 50 MP main sensor with OIS is complemented by a 13 MP ultrawide and the foldable's signature trick: using the outer display to shoot with the main camera for selfies. The 26/100 camera score reflects the modest stack — no telephoto, 4K30 video — but main-camera daylight output is solid and the self-shot flexibility is genuinely useful.

Battery and charging

The 4,500 mAh battery scores 30/100 on endurance — the flip form factor's persistent tax — and 30 W charging (12/100) is slow by any standard. A day of moderate use is achievable; a heavy day is not, and refills take patience.

Verdict

At $699 new the Razr (2025) sells the fold-and-smile experience at the lowest entry price in the category; at around $259 used it becomes an almost impulsive style buy. Buyers wanting the faster chip and bigger battery of the folding-flagship tier should consider the Razr 60 Ultra; everyone else should confirm they can live with hinge-era battery and charging limits before committing.
