Motorola Unveils New Razr Phones: Features and Specifications
Motorola recently introduced its latest lineup of flip-style Razr Android phones, consisting of the Razr, Razr+, and Razr Ultra. This event highlighted the company’s commitment to the foldable smartphone market, mimicking the trend that began with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip. Furthermore, Motorola is banking on incorporating advanced artificial intelligence (AI) features into the user experience, aiming to simplify user interactions with apps and functions.
Overview of the Razr Models
The Razr Ultra: The Premium Option
Among the three models, the Razr Ultra is billed as the most advanced. Here’s a closer look at its specifications:

This model also stands out with premium finishes, including Italian-made Alcantara, satin, faux leather, and wood, as well as a dedicated Moto AI button.
The Razr+: A Strong Contender
The Razr+ offers many of the same features as the Ultra, yet with some differences that may affect users’ choices:
- Screen Size: Slightly smaller 6.9-inch internal display
- Camera System:
- Main camera: 50 megapixels
- Ultra-wide camera: 13 megapixels

While it shares a similar design with the Razr Ultra, it lacks a physical AI button and has a less powerful camera system.
The Entry-Level Razr
The base model, simply called Razr, appeals to budget-conscious consumers:
- Screen Size: 3.6-inch external display
- Camera System:
- Main camera: 50 megapixels
- Ultra-wide camera: 13 megapixels
- Selfie camera: 32 megapixels
- Battery: 4,500 mAh

The Razr is equipped with a smaller display but still delivers a solid battery life.
Enhanced Build Quality and AI Integration
Motorola has made notable improvements to the build quality of the Razr phones. The hinges are made from titanium, boasting four times the strength of previous models and capable of withstanding significantly more folds. Additionally, the crease on the internal display is reportedly less visible.
Harnessing AI in Everyday Usage
One of the key selling points for Motorola’s new Razr phones is the deeper integration of AI, branded as "Moto AI." Rather than developing its own AI technology, Motorola has forged partnerships with established AI firms. This collaboration means that the Razr smartphones can perform intelligent tasks based on user behavior.
- Features of Moto AI:
- Task suggestions (like booking rides or drafting emails)
- Summary of information from notes
- Adaptive photo adjustments through “Signature Style,” which modifies colors and tones automatically.
Despite the impressive features, the AI is not yet fully autonomous; users will still need to manage various tasks themselves.
Availability and Pricing
Motorola plans to make the Razr, Razr+, and Razr Ultra available for preorder starting May 7, with a public release on May 15. The pricing is as follows:
- Razr: $699.99
- Razr+: $999.99
- Razr Ultra: $1,299.99
The new Razr lineup, known for its foldable design and enhanced AI capabilities, promises an exciting addition to Motorola’s portfolio within the competitive smartphone market.
