For a phone that gets a lot right, the Motorola Razr Fold is frustratingly hard to recommend.
The Razr Fold is the company’s first book-style foldable, and it enters the US market with something not currently available on the competition: truly excellent battery life that rivals the best slab-style phones. No need to worry if you spend a long session gaming or working in a Google doc on the inner screen. The Razr Fold is going to easily get you through your day and then some. Samsung and Google’s foldables are much more likely to generate battery anxiety on a day of heavy use.
Also, the Razr Fold looks nice. The rounded corners, soft touch back panel, and well-considered color options are very welcome and very Motorola. Nobody is making better-looking phones than this company right now. As a reminder, it’s okay to care about how your phone looks.
