“But you can pick it up brand new for $700, which is $400 less than the Z Flip 7. And I think it's a good alternative, especially without having to spend every single penny you own on the latest flagship.”
“I think this is a really good alternative and the Razer that was released this year is probably one of the best ones.”
“But there is definitely downsides to picking up this Razer phone. The Razer has slower UFS 2.2 storage and it is running the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X and was only promised 3 years of major updates, which is a little bit disappointing.”
The Motorola Razr 2025 is positioned as the most affordable good foldable phone, making this technology more accessible to a wider audience. Despite its budget-friendly price, it includes higher-end features like IP48 water resistance, wireless charging, and a versatile large cover screen.
However, it compromises on performance, experiencing lags and thermal throttling, and its mid-range camera system struggles with low light and 4K video. Overall, the reviewer appreciates its contribution to expanding the foldable market despite its limitations.
“But I continue to love this category enough that the more options at the more price points that people can experience, the better.”
The Motorola Razr (2025) is a $700 foldable phone positioned as a more accessible option, offering a decent experience given its form factor. It features a 7-inch main display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a subtle crease, alongside a 3.6-inch external screen, both boasting high pixel density.
While its MediaTek chipset shows significantly lower benchmark performance, sustained gaming performance can be comparable to the Ultra model once thermal throttling occurs. However, its 4500 mAh battery delivers notably inferior longevity compared to the Ultra, and 68W charging requires proprietary accessories.
The camera, with a 32MP main sensor, handles 4K 30fps video but can exhibit oversharpening and less accurate colors. Overall, it presents a balanced package with clear trade-offs against its premium counterpart, making it a reasonable choice for its price.
“Again, not bad, especially when you consider the form factor.”
“this is still a $700 phone, but a more attainable $700 device.”
“However, there's some bad mixed in with the good. The battery life is below average. The chipset performance is nothing special, and the camera quality leaves more to be desired.”
“And even though the Razer undercuts the price of new competitors, it's not that cheap at the end of the day. You can get a lot more bang for your buck by going for one of last year's offerings.”
