Motorola is a brand with the bad habit of doing things a bit differently. Many times it works for them, other times not so much, and occasionally we come across prototypes that we don’t know if they’re brilliant or will give us nightmares – like, for example, the Motorola Rizr with its rollable screen. Yes, rollable. At a time when screens are getting larger and companies are tackling this in imaginatively diverse ways, Motorola aims to always be at the forefront. It’s no wonder that while Samsung flirts with its Galaxy Fold and Z Flip, the American company is also immersed in revisiting simpler times of foldable phones and clamshell-type devices.
No, this time I’m not here to talk to you about feature phones like the Nokia 150, but about the Motorola Razr+. The foldable smartphone that the company released to the market at the end of June and could challenge the delicate situation Samsung finds itself in. The Korean company has erred on the side of conservatism with its Z Flip 5, and Motorola has not missed its golden opportunity.
Optimal Quality-Price Ratio
While the Motorola Razr+ doesn’t feature top-tier technology with a first-generation QualComm Snapdragon 8, it does come equipped with a powerful processor that has demonstrated almost optimal performance across multiple devices. Its 8 gigabytes of RAM might be one specification where the device falls slightly behind, but it boasts a main display of 6.9 inches with a 165Hz refresh rate, complemented by a 3.6-inch secondary display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It surpasses the screen quality of the Z Flip 5, offering better responsiveness and more accurate color representation.
However, its camera is a somewhat challenging aspect to defend. It won’t deliver professional-grade performance, but it’s not aimed at that segment either. It will serve you well for occasional photography, as it captures high-quality images in various lighting conditions, albeit with a few limitations.
What’s truly striking isn’t just that it boasts specifications that compete with the Z Flip, but that it comes at a lower price point, with a difference of over 300 euros, and performs in a very similar manner. This unique combination makes it a solid alternative to other foldable phones.
