If you're in the market for one of the top folding phones, the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is likely on your radar. It stands out as the best flip phone available, being the first no-compromise Ultra version among folding phones. However, the main drawback remains its price. Like its non-folding counterparts, the Razr Ultra 2025 starts at $1,300. While available in appealing colors, its high cost may not be feasible for all consumers. Motorola also offers two additional models: the mid-range Razr Plus and the basic Razr 2025.
Both these models are updated versions from the previous generation, but while the Razr Plus does not feature significant changes, the Razr 2025 includes a few enhancements that improve its overall appeal. After testing it for a week and having prior experience with the Ultra and earlier Razrs, here’s why the Razr 2025 is the flip phone suitable for most users.

**Motorola Razr 2025 Design & Display**
If you’ve handled any Razr from the last three years, the Razr 2025 will feel quite familiar. However, if you've previously used a Plus, you may find the smaller front display somewhat limiting. Built to provide a classic Razr experience without unnecessary extras, it features a 3.5-inch Cover Display instead of the larger 4-inch display on the Razr Plus and Ultra 2025. With a peak brightness of 1,700 nits, it’s less than its counterparts but maintains a similar high-quality display experience.
The only drawback is the size, as the Cover Display functions similarly to its siblings, offering the optimized experience typical of Razr devices. While the refresh rate is lower at 90Hz compared to 165Hz on other models, it's still competitive against top phones with 120Hz displays. Unfold the Razr 2025, and you will find the same 6.9-inch display as the Razr Plus, capped at 120Hz. The peak brightness reaches 3000 nits, which, although lower than its siblings, exceeds the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
At 7.3mm thick when unfolded and 15.9mm when folded, the Razr 2025's lightweight design is ideal for everyday use, particularly as the front display enhances usability. Unlike the luxurious leather and wood finishes of the Razr Ultra 2025, this model features an eco-leather finish composed of a silicone polymer blend. The main display is made from plastic OLED, while the Cover Display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. The frame is aluminum, and the hinge is
