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

Summary

The Motorola Razr Plus (2025) is the refined successor: the same 6.9-inch 165 Hz flip formula with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, a slightly larger 4,000 mAh-class battery discipline, and the improved hinge, at $999 new for 12/256 — tracking around $290 used across fifteen listings, a deep and liquid market. The panel is rated at 1,200 nits this generation (versus the 3,000-nit laboratory figure of its predecessor), and the sealing settles at IP48 dust-focused rather than IPX8.

Display and design

The 6.9-inch 165 Hz pOLED scores 75/100 — the fastest refresh in the category retained, with the more conservative brightness rating reflected in our index. The large external display carries over as the flip's most practical daily feature; at 189 g and IP48, the physical package is familiar, with the dust-focused rating the honest step down from the predecessor's immersion sealing.

Performance

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 scores 87/100 everyday and 40/100 gaming — the same near-flagship platform as the prior Plus, which at current used prices remains the performance bargain of the category. Motorola's update commitment for this model is not published in our data; buyers should verify at purchase.

Camera

The 50 MP stabilized main and 50 MP ultrawide with 4K60 score 37/100 — carried over intact from the predecessor, cover-display selfies included. The camera is a known quantity: above the flip norm, below the slab flagships.

Battery and charging

The 4,000 mAh battery scores 20/100 on endurance with 45 W charging (26/100) — the unchanged flip ceiling: a moderate day and an evening charger.

Verdict

At around $290 used with fifteen listings in play, the Razr Plus (2025) is the liquid, buyable flip flagship: refined hinge, proven speed, practical cover display. Buyers comparing directly against the 2024 edition should weigh the newer hinge against the older phone's higher-rated panel brightness and IPX8 sealing at an even lower price — the honest choice is closer than the year gap suggests.
