Motorola Razr 60 Review: Smartphone

Not quite clamshell perfection, but the Razr 60 Ultra is as close as it gets. Motorola’s latest is a fantastic flip phone, with no real weak links – other than a high launch price.

The Motorola Razr 60 isn’t much of an upgrade but it does sharpen and hone a solid formula, and it does so in style

The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra has the best performance, stamina and cover display on a flip phone – but software support needs work

The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra is the best flip phone I've ever used thanks to a long battery life, reliable main camera sensor and unique design choices. I just wish it had more optical zoom.

Samsung has gained a worthy competitor, although Motorola still has a few minor flaws. The cameras are not yet at the level you would expect from a premium phone, and four years of updates is just not enough in this price segment. If Motorola takes this next step, people will no longer ask ‘Is that the one from Samsung?’ when they see a Razr. Motorola Razr 60 Ultra – from 1,299 euros incl. VAT – four years of updates – two years warranty  

Motorola has certainly upped its game with this year’s flip. The titanium-reinforced hinge increases durability, while the vibrant 4-inch cover screen and 7-inch LTPO pOLED main display combine style and functionality. The Snapdragon 8 Elite improves performance significantly, making everyday tasks and multitasking more efficient. The addition of AI features such as Look and Talk, Catch Me Up, and AI Image Studio improves the overall package.
