Introduction

Razrs aplenty, more so in the US than anywhere else. The Razr+ 2025 is another entry in the Motorola clamshell foldable lineup, a middle ground between the vanilla model and the high-end Ultra.

This particular model is seemingly a US-exclusive – not even Motorola Canada appears to be selling it. Both the US and Canada are getting the plain Razr 2025 and the Razr 2025 Ultra, so there’s no shortage of North American Razrs. This year, there’s no direct international counterpart to this Razr+ – the non-plus and the Ultra have their Razr 60 alter egos.

That said, it’s worth keeping in mind that the Razr+ 2025 is in many ways the same phone as the Razr+ 2024, which, in turn, is the North American version of the Razr 50 Ultra (reviewed here). We’ll be coming back to these comparisons along the way, as well as when we get to decision-making time.

As the middle option in the roster, the Razr+ 2025 has a beefier chipset than the vanilla model, but not the current flagship Snapdragon that the Ultra gets. Another inbetween solution can be seen in the displays – main one is almost like on the vanilla model, the cover one is the same as on the Ultra.

The camera system is another area where the plus is bridging the gap, relying on the same main camera as the Razr 2025, but paired with a telephoto instead of an ultrawide – the Ultra makes do without a zoom camera, but features nicer main and ultrawide modules.

There’s a minor upgrade in the ingress protection, same move to IP48 that we saw on the Razr 2025. However, there’s no change to battery capacity, unfortunately.

Motorola Razr+ 2025 unboxing

The Razr+ 2025 showed up in a box no different than the one we got the non-plus in. It’s a graphite-colored cardboard package with not a whole lot inside. There’s no charger, but you do get a USB-C cable, and it’s an e-Mark-ed 5A-capable one, unlike the plain 3A cable of the Razr 2025.

The Razr+ 2025’s bundle doesn’t include any form of protection, which was also our experience with the non-plus. North American models seem to be treated this way, while the rest of the world typically gets two-piece snap-on covers.
