Motorola Razr: Now With More AI, Less Razor

Ah, the Motorola Razr. Once the coolest thing in your cargo shorts—flipping open with a snap, ending calls with theatrical flair, and letting everyone in 2005 know you were either extremely important or just really into Paris Hilton's T-Mobile commercials.

But in 2025? Motorola’s decided to bring it back. Again. And this time it’s not just a phone—it’s an AI-powered lifestyle ecosystem that costs more than your first car. Introducing the new motorola razr ultra, razr+, and just plain razr: a trio of nostalgia-baiting, buzzword-heavy flip phones designed for the discerning tech hipster who wishes their phone would judge them less for using a physical keyboard but more for not setting fitness goals.

Flippin’ Fancy

Motorola claims it's “redefining the flip phone,” but instead of the simple elegance of a sleek chrome blade sliding into your pocket, we now have:

• 7.0” pOLED displays that are Pantone Validated (in case you were worried your selfies didn’t meet professional color grading standards),
• AI assistants with features like Catch Me Up and Pay Attention, which sound less like tools and more like passive-aggressive exes, and
• Titanium-reinforced hinges that can survive more folds than your roommate’s laundry (which is still sitting in the dryer, btw).

Remember when a Razr just let you text your friends “where u at” and ignore your parents’ calls? Now it transcribes conversations, generates playlists based on your salad, and helps you mirror your AI avatar’s vacation aesthetic to your smart fridge. Progress?

The AI-ssistant That Will Not Leave You Alone

Each new Razr now comes with Moto AI, which isn’t your standard “answer a question” assistant. This thing is proactive. It’ll recognize your screen, suggest next steps, create playlists, generate avatars, and whisper sweet to-do lists directly into your soul. There’s even a dedicated AI Key on the ultra model. Yes, a physical button. For your AI. Because nothing says “efficiency” like hardware for your hallucinating software.

Also: the razr ultra can stand in tent mode to transcribe your life from across the room. So if you’ve ever wanted your phone to be your therapist, executive assistant, and NSA informant, congratulations.

Fashion, Meet Function (and Four Pantones)

This thing isn’t just smart—it’s wearing designer. Motorola proudly boasts of new finishes like Italian Alcantara (the suede from your Audi’s seats), FSC-certified wood (because nothing screams sustainability like a $1,300 gadget), and leather-inspired Pantone Mocha Mousse—finally, a phone that looks like dessert.

If your personal aesthetic is “eco-conscious lounge in Aspen,” Motorola’s got you covered. And if not? Well, there’s always the Acetate finish. Which… is that a countertop?

Cameras for Influencers, Batteries for Survivors

The new Razr family comes with more megapixels than your last ten relationships combined. Triple 50MP setups. Gesture-based video recording. AI-enhanced group shots where nobody blinks (or exists in their original form).

And of course, all-day batteries and 68W TurboPower™ charging, because nothing says “retro flip phone” like turning it into a mini Tesla Supercharger.

Final Thoughts: Bring Back the Real Razr

Look. We don’t hate progress. But the original Razr didn’t need Pantone, AI, or a hinge forged by the gods of metallurgy. It needed vibes. It needed click-clack. It needed to flip shut with a satisfying SNAP after yelling “Whatever, Becky.”

This new Razr? It’s the adult who went to Burning Man once and now uses the phrase “conscious co-living.” Cool? Sure. Iconic? Maybe. But it’s not that Razr.

So here’s our review:

• For nostalgia: 10/10
• For AI hype: 11/10
• For matching your espresso machine: depends on your kitchen
• For actually flipping the phone in a rage and hanging up on your ex: still priceless

Now please excuse us—we’re going to eBay to find a 2004 Razr and some Juicy Couture sweatpants. Real ones know.
