Motorola's New $700 Razr Offers an Affordable Foldable Phone Experience with Some Compromises

The $700 Motorola Razr 2023 is the most affordable foldable phone yet, making some compromises like a smaller outer screen to lower the price.

The Razr 2023 looks premium with a polished aluminum frame and leather back, feels solidly built, and has a 6.9-inch inner display with smooth 144Hz refresh rate.

Performance is good with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chip, but the 128GB of storage isn't expandable when competitors offer 256GB+ options.

The main 64MP camera takes sharp photos while the 12MP ultrawide camera is blurry, and there's no telephoto, so zooming is limited.

Battery life exceeds a day and 30W wired charging is quick, but the smaller outer screen only shows notifications and shortcuts, not a full preview display.
