Razr Plus 2024: The premium model
The Razr Plus 2024 (Razr 50 Ultra internationally) is packed with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, a 50MP main camera, and a 50MP telephoto shooter with 2x optical zoom.
Its cover screen is a major upgrade from last year, featuring a 4-inch pOLED display that outshines even the Galaxy Z Flip 5 cover screen. Razr says it is the biggest cover screen of any clamshell foldable phone on the market, although the Honor Magic V Flip might have something to say about that. It boasts a 165Hz refresh rate, 2400 nits peak brightness, and Corning's Gorilla Glass Victus protection.
The inner pOLED screen unfolds to a 6.9-inch 1080p panel with a 165Hz refresh rate and 3000 nits peak brightness.
The cover screen supports almost any app, including Chrome, Gmail, Instagram, and YouTube. For the first time, Razr users can access Google’s Gemini app directly from the external display by pressing and holding the power button, with three months of Gemini Advanced included for free.
Google Photos is new to the external display. It lets users share, view, delete, or favorite images and videos instantly.
The Razr Plus 2024 comes in Midnight Blue, Spring Green, Peach Fuzz, and Hot Pink.
Razr 2024: Keeping it simple
The standard Razr 2024 (Razr 50 internationally) has roughly the same size and shape but with a smaller cover screen. Its outer display is a 3.6-inch 90Hz OLED, perfect for quick info like calendar alerts, texts, and weather updates. It also offers access to Gemini and Google Photos on the outer screen. Essentially, it's a refreshed version of last year's Motorola Razr Plus 2023 with some spec differences.
It features a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chipset, a larger 4,200mAh battery, and a 50MP main camera with OIS. The inner screen is similar at 6.9 inches but with a lower 120Hz refresh rate.
The standard model comes in Beach Sand, Koala Grey, and Spritz Orange in vegan leather.
Motorola Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024 specs
Both the Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024 have an IPX8 rating for water resistance and a commitment to three major OS updates and four years of security patches. This is better than previous Motorola commitments but still short of Samsung’s promise of seven OS upgrades and security support.
