The verdict, & two little voices
Should you actually get the Motorola Razr - 2025?
The editor weighs in — flanked by the optimist on her shoulder and the cynic on the other.
“Glass body and 15W wireless on a $509 clamshell - meaningful upgrades over the 2024 model where they count.”
“At $509, the Razr+ with 8s Gen 3 is $110 cheaper - explaining this model's value takes more than a glass back.”
Our take
A glass-body flip foldable on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 at $509 - the razr 2025 refines the accessible foldable formula.
The Motorola razr (2025) is priced at $509 and builds on the 2024 model with a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 (4 nm), a glass body construction, 15W wireless charging (upgraded from 5W), and a larger 4500 mAh battery. The 6.9-inch inner display at 1080 x 2640 pixels, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage carry over from the 2024 model's approach. The 50 MP primary rear camera remains the main imaging sensor. IP48 is the foldable-appropriate water resistance rating. At $509, the razr (2025) fills the gap between the $200 entry-level foldable and the Razr+ at $399 - though the spread now positions it as a premium step over the base model rather than an economy-tier entry. The glass body and 15W wireless charging are meaningful quality-of-life improvements. The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 brings efficiency and performance upgrades over the 7s Gen 2. For anyone who wants the clamshell form factor with a cleaner material feel and more capable wireless charging, the 2025 model makes the case clearly.
What we love
- Glass body construction is a clear step up from the 2024 model's plastic
- 15W wireless charging replaces the near-useless 5W on the 2024 model
- Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 on 4 nm improves efficiency and performance over prior year
- 4500 mAh battery is larger than the 4200 mAh in the 2024 model
- 8 GB RAM keeps multitasking smooth in the foldable form factor
- 256 GB storage is generous
- 5G connectivity
- 1080p inner display at 6.9 inches is sharp
What we don't
- IP48 water resistance is minimal for a $509 phone
- Foldable crease remains visible at certain viewing angles
- Front camera specifications not confirmed in published data
- No optical zoom confirmed
- 30W wired charging is matched by non-foldable phones at $150-$200
- At $509, the Razr+ at $399 with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 challenges the value positioning

Frequently asked questions about the Motorola Razr - 2025
What kind of display does the Motorola Razr - 2025 have?
The razr (2025) inner display is 6.9 inches at 1080 x 2640 pixel resolution, providing approximately 413 ppi - sharp for comfortable reading and detailed media. Panel type, peak brightness, and refresh rate are not confirmed in published specifications. The inner display is well-suited to the clamshell use case for media, messaging, and browsing when opened. A foldable crease is inherent at this stage of the technology. At 190g and with the glass body, the opened phone feels more refined than the plastic 2024 model.
What kind of camera does the Motorola Razr - 2025 have?
The 50 MP primary rear camera delivers solid daylight performance on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 platform. Front camera specifications are not confirmed, limiting assessment of selfie and video call quality. The cover display enables the rear camera to be used for selfie framing in folded position, which is a practical foldable-specific advantage. No optical zoom is confirmed. Low-light performance depends on the OIS implementation, which is also unconfirmed.
What is the battery life of the Motorola Razr - 2025?
The 4500 mAh battery is a 300 mAh improvement over the 2024 model and provides a full day of moderate use in the compact foldable form. The 30W wired charging refills the battery in approximately 75-80 minutes. The 15W wireless charging upgrade is the most meaningful practical improvement over the 2024 model's 5W - wireless top-ups are now genuinely practical rather than overnight-only exercises. No reverse wireless charging.
What processor does the Motorola Razr - 2025 use?
The Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 is a meaningful step up from the 7s Gen 2, providing better CPU efficiency, improved AI processing, and slightly faster application handling. With 8 GB of RAM, daily multitasking runs smoothly. Social media, navigation, streaming, and casual gaming are handled comfortably. More demanding gaming and professional applications will find the chip's mid-range ceiling. For the daily-use foldable target audience, the 7s Gen 3 is well-matched.
How much storage does the Motorola Razr - 2025 have?
256 GB of internal storage provides generous room for the typical foldable user's app library, photos, and media. Fast UFS storage is expected on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 platform. A microSD card slot may not be available in the foldable form factor.
What kind of speakers does the Motorola Razr - 2025 have?
Speaker configuration is not confirmed in published specifications. Based on the razr lineup positioning, stereo speakers are expected. Audio quality benefits from the larger inner display's resonance surface.
Does the Motorola Razr - 2025 support fingerprint or face unlock?
Biometric details are not confirmed. The razr (2025) likely integrates a side-mounted fingerprint sensor into the power button that is accessible in both open and folded positions. Face unlock is expected. The glass body provides a premium feel for biometric interactions.
Is the Motorola Razr - 2025 water-resistant?
IP48 provides protection against directed water spray and splashing from any direction but is not equivalent to IP52 or IP68. The foldable hinge limits achievable water sealing at this price tier. Rain and incidental splashes are covered. Submersion is not recommended. For a $509 phone, IP48 is below expectations for non-foldable alternatives but is the current foldable category standard.
