My wife says you should save $400 and buy last year's Motorola Razr Plus on Prime Day. Always listen to my wife.
The new one is cool and all, but saving $400 is better than the negligible improvements Motorola made.

When I unboxed the shiny new Motorola Razr Plus 2025 and marveled at the coffee specks in the Mocha Mousse color, I couldn't wait to show my wife. She's been head over heels for her Spring Green Motorola Razr Plus 2024 for the last year, so I had a feeling she couldn't wait to upgrade to the new one. Then I told her the price. The answer was a solid "no thanks."
Thankfully, the phone she's loved using for the last year doesn't have quite the shocking price tag thanks to Prime Day: it's $400 less than the 2025 model and I promise you wouldn't notice the difference between the two even if you used them side-by-side for weeks at a time.
As much as I love Motorola's phones, the Razr Plus 2025 is a bit of a dud of an upgrade because, well, it doesn't exactly upgrade much. It's got the same Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, same great OLED screens outside and in, same great 50MP spec cameras, the same amount of RAM and storage, same size battery, and the same great Motorola software. See why I don't recommend getting the new one?

"The Motorola Razr Plus 2024 is an impressive phone that continues to set the standard for other flip phones. The 4-inch cover screen is more useful than ever, and Motorola has clearly put more thought into the software around it. Cameras and battery life are also much improved, but there are some blips when it comes to the overall software experience, and some may not like the switch from ultrawide to telephoto. But overall, the Razr Plus 2024 is a great phone that you should consider as your next." — Derrek Lee for Android Central
Android Central review ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
✅Recommended if: you've been sitting on the fence waiting to see if a foldable phone gets cheap enough to make the jump. There's some kind of special joy that comes with folding a phone in half, and the Motorola Razr is the best of the best.
❌Skip this deal if: you're looking for the fastest processor or the best cameras. Neither Razr Plus model feels slow or has "bad" cameras, but they're no match for the Razr Ultra 2025 (which is not on discount for Prime Day).

Obviously, for $400 less, you're sacrificing something by opting for last year's model, but it's not much at all. Our full Motorola Razr Plus 2024 vs 2025 will give you all the details, but here's the quick list of upgrades the 2025 model offers.
The Razr Plus 2025 ships with a new, stronger titanium hinge and the first dust-resistance rating for a Razr phone. If you're a beach bum or just tend to drop your phone in dirt, it might be worth it to spend the extra $400 or grab one of the many Motorola Razr Plus 2025 deals from your favorite carrier.
The Razr Plus 2025 gets one additional year of promised Android updates, stopping at Android 18, with security updates through the end of 2029. The 2024 model stops at Android 17 with security patches through the end of 2028. That's all great if you're planning to hold on to the phone for more than the next four years.
Other than that, there's not much to speak of. Pantone color validation for the Razr Plus 2025's cameras is quite nice, but it's not worth the extra cash, according to my testing. I'd say just save the $400 now by buying the Razr Plus 2024 and upgrade a few years down the road when Motorola gives the series a huge spec bump.
