Overview

Motorola’s mid‑tier and entry‑level flip phones are feeling the effects of the memory‑chip crisis, resulting in higher prices with only modest upgrades.

Pricing and Specifications

• Razr Plus (2026): $1,099 (up from $999 for the previous model)
• Processor: Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 (now two years old)
• Memory: 12 GB RAM
• Storage: 256 GB internal
• Battery: Silicon‑carbon 4,500 mAh (up from 4,000 mAh in the prior version)

The larger battery capacity is the most notable improvement; other components remain largely unchanged.

Camera

The main camera hardware stays the same as the previous generation. Motorola replaced the older 50‑megapixel 2× telephoto lens with a new 50‑megapixel sensor, but the overall camera system sees no major enhancements.
