The Motorola Razr Plus is a lovely little phone — but it also likes to play on your emotions. Let me explain what I mean.

Black Friday week/month is upon us and for those looking at getting a shiny new smartphone Motorola is reducing a number of its latest handsets, with savings of up to $ 300 to be had. Whether its the new Razr+ foldable, the powerful Edge+ 2023, or the budget-conscious Moto G 5G 2023, there’s a deal to […]

When you think of affordable smartphones that pack a punch, Motorola’s Moto G series has almost certainly made its way into the reckoning at one time or another. With the original Moto G having launched back in 2013, Motorola is now celebrating both the tenth anniversary of the series and the sale of over 200 […]

If you’re interested in a flip-style foldable phone, you effectively have two choices in the US: the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Motorola Razr+. We think the former is ultimately better for most people, but the latter is still a worthy alternative, and now it’s on sale for $ 700 at Amazon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen for an unlocked model outside of trade-in deals. Motorola normally sells the Razr+ for $ 1,000, though we’ve seen the phone fall between $ 800 and $ 900 a couple of times since it arrived in June. This deal is applicable to the black, magenta and blue versions of the device.
We gave the Razr+ a score of 85 in our review. As with the Galaxy Z Flip 5, the Razr+’s biggest selling point is that you can fold it in half and make it easier to tuck away. The main display is a vibrant 6.9-inch OLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate; fold it shut, and you can use a 3.6-inch OLED display around the back. One advantage the Razr+ has over Samsung’s foldable is that it can run most Android apps on that outer display with less fuss. (The Galaxy Z Flip 5 limits its cover screen to a handful of widgets by default, though can you enable wider app support through the device’s settings.) Not every app is optimized for such a tiny screen, but you can quickly fire off a text, reply to an email, pick a new Spotify playlist or do other phone things without having to actually open the device.
Beyond that, the Razr+’s cover display has a higher refresh rate (144Hz versus 60Hz) and pixel density (413 ppi versus 306 ppi) than that of the Galaxy Z Flip 5, plus it’s 0.2 inches larger. It should last a little longer per charge, and its take on Android has more of a light touch than Samsung’s One UI interface. It also supports slightly faster wired charging speeds.
That said, there are a few clear downsides. For one, we found the Razr’s camera performance to be a step behind the Galaxy Z Flip 5. The hardware has a meager IP52 water-resistance rating — which means it can withstand some light rain but little more — whereas Samsung’s phone has a more robust IPX8 rating. (Though you’ll want to be delicate with either phone, as all foldables carry a greater risk of durability issues.) While it’s not slow, it uses a year-old Snapdragon Galaxy 8+ Gen 1 chip, so its performance is a little less futureproof. And Motorola’s update policy is less robust: It promises three major OS updates and bi-monthly security updates for the Razr+, while Samsung promotes four years of OS updates and five years of monthly security updates for the Galaxy Z Flip 5.
In the end, the main reason to consider the Razr+ is the bigger and more functional cover display, so if you’re sold on the idea of a clamshell-style foldable, it’s worth considering at this price. Just note that we may see a deal on Samsung’s foldable as we get closer to Black Friday. One foldable we’re less bullish on, however, is Motorola’s midrange Razr: That one is also on sale for $ 500, but we found it to be too limited in our review.

When it comes to style, the new Motorola Razr foldable with its Sage Green vegan leather finish is surely one of 2023’s highlights.

Motorola is churning out another budget Android phone today with the Moto G Play (2023). The $ 170 handset runs an eight-core MediaTek Helio G37 chipset, the same entry-level processor from the latest Moto G Power. Unfortunately, although the new Moto G Play offers decent-enough specs on a budget, it also underscores Motorola’s habit of churning out endless rehashes of cheap phones.
The Android 12 handset has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (expandable to up to 512GB with a microSD card). Its IPS TFT LCD 6.5-inch display has a mere 720p resolution but a fast 90Hz refresh rate, something you won’t always see in this price range.
The phone has three cameras on its back, a first for the Moto G Play series. A 16MP main lens gets help from 2MP macro and depth sensors to produce extreme closeups and portraits with blurred backgrounds. In addition, the rear camera and 5MP front sensor can each record full HD footage at 30 fps.
Motorola says the phone’s 5,000mAh battery lasts up to three days and supports 10W rapid charging via USB-C. It has IP52 water protection, so it should withstand light splashes and spills. Continuing a familiar cost-cutting measure, the Moto G Play lacks NFC and 5G.
The phone’s unlocked version launches on January 12 at Best Buy, Amazon and Motorola. UScellular and Canadian carriers will have it on the same day, with various US regional carriers following later.
The Motorola Moto G Pure is a cheap phone that rightfully exceeds all expectations for its $ 50 on sale price.
