Today, Motorola unveiled its popular Razr flip phones, the Razr 2024 and the Razr Plus 2024. Both models feature larger external displays than last year’s versions, with the Razr’s screen size expanded by 2.5 times compared to the Razr 2023. Despite having almost the same dimensions and leather finish, they come in different colors and offer distinct features. The Razr is priced at $699.99, while the Razr Plus costs $999.99. Preorders begin on July 10th, and sales start on July 24th.

Apart from colors, the main difference lies in the cover screen size: the Razr has a 3.6-inch panel with a 1056×1066 resolution, while the Razr Plus boasts a 4-inch 1272×1080 display. Both feature pOLED LTPO technology, but the Razr’s maximum refresh rate is 90 Hz compared to the Plus’s 165 Hz. The Razr’s peak brightness is 1700 nits, whereas the Razr Plus reaches 3000 nits.

Internal Display
Both phones sport a 6.9-inch pOLED LTPO internal display with a 2640×1080 resolution and 3000 nits peak brightness. The Razr’s maximum refresh rate is 120 Hz, while the Plus achieves 165 Hz.
Cameras
The Razr and Razr Plus feature an external dual camera and a 32 MP f/2.4 selfie camera. The primary 50 MP f/1.7 shooter is the same on both models. However, the secondary optical systems differ: the Razr retains a 13 MP wide macro camera, while the Plus has a 50 MP telephoto camera with a 2X zoom and an f/2.2 aperture. The Razr captures 4K video at 30 fps, whereas the Razr Plus supports 60 fps in 4K and slow motion.
Processor and Performance
The Razr is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X SoC with 8GB of RAM, designed for dual-display support in foldable phones. The Razr Plus features the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with 12GB of RAM.
Instead of examining the eight Arm-based cores and clock speeds on both processors to determine which one delivers the best performance, we will run the benchmarks on the devices. The results will be published later.
Battery
Both devices have a 4200 mAh battery. The Razr supports 30W TurboPower and 15W wireless charging, while the Razr Plus offers 45W wired charging, 15W wireless charging, and 5W reverse charging.
Price and Availability
The Motorola Razr 2024 will be available for pre-order at T-Mobile on July 10. Starting July 24, the unlocked device will be available at motorola.com, Amazon, and Best Buy for $699.99. It will also be on sale at T-Mobile, Consumer Cellular, and Xfinity Mobile on July 24, and on July 25 at Cricket, Spectrum Mobile, Straight Talk, Total by Verizon, Visible, Google Fi Wireless, Optimum Mobile, and UScellular.
