Photo courtesof GEEKSPIN Last week, Motorola launched two new foldable, the new Razr and the Razr Plus ( official ), both reminiscent of the iconic Razr V3 clamshell introduced in 2004 and rebooted in 2019 as a modern foldable smartphone. The highlight of the Razr Plus is its large 3.6-inch 144 Hz pOLED cover screen , a significant competitive advantage over its nemesis, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4  (1.9-inch cover screen). The previous Motorola Razr 2022 launched in China in 2022 , and this time both phones are coming to the U.S., but only the Razr Plus will be available on June 23 rd for $999 .

For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4, featuring the same SoC and an uber-small cover screen, launched last August at $999.99. Motorola streamlined the design even more since the 2022 edition: now the angular edge at the bottom, reminiscent of the iconic Razr’s chin, is all gone .

Photo courtesof GEEKSPIN I love foldable phones , especially the smaller flip-style ones, as the internal display is always protected whether I carry them in my purse or attached around my neck, and I am so excited that Motorola, one of the pioneers of this form factor, is finally coming back with a device packed with the most critical high-end features.
