Motorola's 2024 Razr could be this year's best flip phone thanks to this one big improvement over its 2023 predecessor. Should you upgrade?
Last year, Motorola jumped back into the flip phone game in a really big way with a duo of Razr models that adopted a more modern and classy design with several fun touches. The 2023 Razr Plus was one of our favorite phones of the year, and now Motorola is back with a pair of sequels that could make an even bigger splash.
At a glance, the Razr 2024 is nearly identical to its predecessor in every way but one: This year’s model gets a larger and much more useful cover screen, which we’ll talk about more in the next section. From the “back,” however, you’ll be hard-pressed to tell the two models apart unless you’re familiar with their unique color palettes.
The good news is you won’t have to make that choice this year, as the standard Razr 2024 has made the leap to a 3.6-inch screen on the outside with a 90Hz refresh rate — more or less the same screen found on the 2023 Razr Plus. Motorola’s newer premium model has a cover screen that goes up a slight notch from that, but the two are far closer than they were last year, to the point where we don’t think anyone is settling by opting for the Razr 2024.
The Razr 2024 gets a nice boost in storage capacity to 256GB — twice as much as last year. That’s important, considering Motorola only sells the Razr in a single storage configuration. Both models still have only 8GB of RAM. The jury is out on whether the Razr 2024 will improve on that since much of the power comes from the image signal processor, and the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X in this year’s model is a whole new ballgame. In the limited hands-on time we had with the new Razr, the cameras show some promising results, but we’ll have to wait for proper comparisons before we can be sure.
Google Gemini is also integrated into the 2024 Razr right out of the box and can be called up directly from the cover screen by pressing and holding the power button. Motorola is offering three months of Gemini Advanced for new buyers. The cover screen also features an optimized Google Photos app and special panels for Spotify and Bose.
