Motorola Razr 60 Review – Foldable Finesse with 2025 Power

 A year has gone by and the most affordable Motorola Razr has gotten a refresh alongside its more upmarket Ultra sibling. The Razr 2025 for North America, as well as its counterpart for the rest of the world, the Razr 60, is looking a lot more like a facelift, but perhaps a fresh coat of paint is all that's needed.

Before we go any further, though, it's worth saying a few words on the lineup of Razrs this year and where this one slots in. Indeed, it's essentially the same handset as the Razr 60 that's being sold outside of North America, so this review should be very much applicable to that model as well. Of course, we will try to point out the differences, where they pop up. In any case, we have the US version specifically, so we'll be referring to the handset by its North American name for the remainder of this review.

In that particular regional context, the Razr lineup for 2025 consists of three models: the Razr Ultra 2025 (that we've already reviewed in Euro spec, as Razr 60 Ultra), the Razr+ 2025 and the vanilla Razr 2025 that we have here. While both the Ultra and the vanilla models have 'international' counterparts, the Plus is sort of a North American exclusive.

Also, as a side note, Motorola doesn't seem to like caps, so the model family is 'motorola razr'. Not only that, but for this model there's an extra dash in the product materials, making it 'motorola razr - 2025', perhaps to better differentiate it from the razr+ 2025. We'll be capitalizing all names and omitting the dash for consistency and simplicity going forward.

Now that the naming peculiarities have been cleared up, let's focus on the Razr 2025. A head-to-head specs comparison will reveal that the changes compared to the previous generation are anything but major. The chipset is different, but it's also kind of very much the same. The battery capacity has been upped to 4,500mAh, an upgrade apparently brought about by a switch to silicon-carbon cells (since the phone is physically unchanged). The 2025 model has gotten some dust protection in addition to the water resistance, and a new selection of Pantone-curated colorways pretty much complete the list of changes.

Of course, there's the already excellent foldable display on the inside, and a nicely functional and relatively large cover display (well, not Ultra-large, but large-ish).

The vanilla model in the lineup features an ultrawide camera and a wide main unit - it's kind of like the Ultra, only that one has fancier hardware on both. In contrast, the Razr+ 2025 has a telephoto next to a wide main camera that's the same as on the Razr 2025, but no ultrawide.

Motorola Razr 2025 unboxing

The Razr 2025 arrives in a slimline box made of graphite-colored cardboard. There's no charger inside, obviously, but there's still a USB-C cable bundled - a plain 3A one, but that's as much current as you can make use of anyway.

As much as we can gather, North American Razrs don't get any type of case in the box, while the rest of the world gets two-piece snap-on covers - we did have one with the Razr 60 Ultra, while the Razr Ultra 2025 doesn't seem to include one, and similarly the Razr 60 comes with a cover in the box (at least in some markets), but not the Razr 2025 we have here. So that's one of very few aspects in which the Razr 2025 is different from the Razr 60.

Design, build quality, handling

The Razr 2025 is a lot like the Razr 2024, but with new colors. Indeed, the previous generation brought some major changes, physically, while this new one maintains what was good and spices it up with a fresh selection of Pantone colorways.

We have the Lightest Sky variant for review, and its back panel has a sort of a frosted finish that's smooth to the touch, while visually it has a marble-like effect. The Gibraltar Sea variant has an almost carbon fiber-like weave, the Spring Bud has a fine crosshatch fabric texture, and the Parfait Pink is yet another different finish, mimicking Saffiano leather. All the variants are made of plastic.

There are no changes to the formula in terms of size and proportions. The Razr 2025 has the same 3.6-inch cover display as the 2024 model, complete with the two circular cutouts in the corner for the cameras. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus.

Since it's the plain model, the display doesn't cover the entirety of the top half - instead, there's a strip of the same material that covers the bottom portion. The Razr+ and the Razr Ultra have the end-to-end displays.

6000 series aluminum is used for the frame that serves as a peripheral boundary for the phone, with the usual black plastic bezel covering the very edges of the display. The cover of the hinge mechanism is made of stainless steel.

It's one of those hinges that can be left open at any angle which allows for use cases like the tabletop 'tripod' mode, or overhead or waist-level shooting, as well as Motorola's signature camcorder mode. Of course, that only works within a certain range - beyond that the Razr will snap into either the open or the closed position.

You flip the Razr open and you get a nice 6.9-inch OLED display, that's all but creaseless - Motorola's been doing some of the flattest foldables. It's not flat-flat, sure, and you can feel there's a bit of ripple if you run your finger across, but it's not the least bit obtrusive.

There was a single physical nano SIM slot on our review unit, but the phone supports eSIM, so you get the best of both worlds. It's a large-ish tray, hinting at the existence of a model with dual nano SIM capability, and indeed such a version exists, but only of the Razr 60, not the Razr 2025.

One of the 'major' developments this year is the added protection against solids, though the 4 in the IP48 rating means the Razr is safe against particles larger than 1mm - it's pretty safe to assume that the Razr 2024/Razr 50 was also good for that, but Motorola only now bothered to deal with the paperwork. The submersion-grade water resistance is unchanged and is, of course, most welcome.

You won't be left searching for the controls - everything is where it usually is on this type of handset. Motorola's way is to make the volume buttons tiny, which might bother some, but we don't really mind.

The power/Gemini key houses a capacitive fingerprint reader, which works without incident, including with the left index finger. It can be set to require a click to engage or work with just a tap.
