Motorola Razr Plus review: At a glance
- What is it? The Razr Plus is Motorola’s most powerful, most refined entry into the foldable phone race and its first foldable to launch in the US since 2021. It pairs an internal 6.9-inch, 165Hz foldable display with a class-leading 3.6-inch cover display and a premium Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset.
- What is the price? The Motorola Razr Plus is available unlocked for $999 in the US, or you can pick up a sizable discount through your mobile carrier. If you’re shopping internationally, the Razr Plus is branded as the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra and costs £1,049 in the UK or €1,199 throughout Europe.
- Where can you buy it? You can buy the Motorola Razr Plus unlocked from Motorola, Amazon, and Best Buy or pick it up on contract from major US carriers, including AT&T and T-Mobile. The Razr Plus opened for pre-orders on June 15, with broader sales opening a week later on June 23.
- How did we test it? I tested the Motorola Razr Plus for three weeks. The review unit was supplied by Motorola.
- Is it worth it? The Razr’s return to the US was more than worth the wait. This is Moto’s best clamshell foldable phone yet thanks to its capable cover screen, smooth software, and premium materials. While Motorola still has some work to do with its cameras and update commitment, the Razr Plus is a giant leap in the right direction.

After a few Razr-less years in the US, Motorola is back in a big way. Its new Razr Plus (or Razr 40 Ultra for international markets) is the company’s most refined foldable, combining the largest cover screen currently available on a clamshell with features and a pricing that take the fight directly to Samsung’s increasingly popular Galaxy Z Flip series. The Razr Plus also marks the first time Motorola has launched a series of clamshell devices, with the Razr Plus to be accompanied by the upcoming Razr (2023), which offers a smaller cover display and a more approachable price tag.
