Motorola razr+ PBC50000US Pantone Mountain View 256GB

The Motorola razr+ nails the flip phone formula with a killer cover screen that runs full apps and a stunning 165Hz display. Performance and cameras are just average for the $1100 price, so you're paying for the form factor. If pocket space and style matter more than raw speed, it's a solid buy.

The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is a solid chip for daily tasks, but it's not a speed demon. It lands in the 40th percentile for performance, which means it's about average compared to the wider phone market and noticeably behind the true flagships at this price. Apps open fast and the 165Hz screen keeps scrolling buttery smooth, but don't expect it to crush heavy gaming or video exports like an S26 Ultra. The 12GB of RAM is plenty for multitasking, and the software feels clean, but if raw benchmark scores keep you up at night, this isn't your phone.

Stacked against the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, the razr+ wins on pocketability and cool factor but loses badly on camera versatility and raw performance. The Google Pixel 10a is half the price and takes better photos, though it can't fold in half. The OnePlus 15 offers a much faster chip and faster charging for less money, but it's a big slab. And the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro brings a fun, unique design at a lower price, though its cameras are also just average. The razr+ carves out a niche for people who want a flip phone that doesn't feel like a toy, but it makes clear trade-offs to get there.

At $1100, the razr+ is asking for flagship money but delivering a mid-tier chip and a camera system that's just okay. You're paying a serious premium for that flip form factor and the excellent cover screen experience. If a foldable that fits in your tiny pocket is your top priority, the price might be worth it. But if you're comparing spec sheets, a Galaxy S26 Ultra or OnePlus 15 gives you a lot more horsepower and camera chops for similar cash.

The Motorola razr+ is back, and the cover screen is still the star of the show. You can genuinely run full apps on that 4-inch external display now, which means you'll flip this thing open way less often than you'd think. It's a flip phone that finally makes the 'closed' experience feel like a first-class citizen, not an afterthought.

Inside, you get a gorgeous 6.9-inch 165Hz OLED, a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, and a pair of 50MP cameras. The new PANTONE Mountain View green with that woven texture looks and feels fantastic. At $1100, it's priced right in flagship territory, but the performance and camera don't quite keep pace with the best slab phones out there.

Skip this if you need a top-tier camera for zoom shots or low light. The dual 50MP setup is fine for social media, but a Pixel or Galaxy will run circles around it. Also look elsewhere if you're a heavy gamer or need the absolute fastest chip, because the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is a step behind the leading silicon at this price.

Buy the Motorola razr+ if you're all-in on the flip phone life and want the best cover screen experience on the market. It's for people who value pocket space and head-turning design over benchmark scores and zoom lenses. If you find yourself wishing your phone was smaller in your pocket but bigger when you need it, this is your match.
