The new Razr Plus 2025 has already seen a price drop of $300, yet I’m still waiting for Prime Day in hopes of snagging a better deal on the Razr or Razr Ultra.
Amazon Prime Day 2025 is right around the corner, just a few weeks away, and I’ve already pinpointed the phone models I plan to focus on when the promotions launch on July 8. That is, unless I decide to purchase the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 at the current $300 discount! However, I might hold off for something even more appealing.
I’m eager to join the foldable phone movement. As an avid runner, I’m used to the inconvenience of clutching my standard phone during extended workouts. But after my coworker Brady discussed the benefits of using clamshell foldables like the Razr 2025 while running, I understood that the small size and cover screen would suit me well — or anyone active who desires a phone that’s easy to hold during hikes and walks.
I could always consider the Galaxy Z Flip 7, as there are rumors about Galaxy Unpacked happening around Prime Day. However, a brand-new phone isn’t likely to come with the best deals unless tied to carrier contracts and trade-ins; if I’m looking to purchase one of the top foldable phones outright, the Razr 2025 series appears to be the best choice. I just need to select the right variant!
Choices, choices
Reviewing our guide on which Razr 2025 to opt for, the Razr Plus seems quite appealing in comparison to the standard Razr. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor with an additional 4GB of RAM provides performance close to flagship standards, and the Victus protection on the cover screen enhances its durability against drops.
Conversely, its 4,000mAh battery capacity isn’t top-notch; I’ve grown accustomed to my long-lasting Pixel 9a with a 5,100mAh capacity, and I wouldn’t want my phone to die during a hike or run.
I might prefer to wait for the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, which boasts even quicker performance, greater battery capacity with 68W charging, and impressive peak brightness of 3,000 nits for the cover display. Unfortunately, it’s currently priced at $1,169, even with a 10% discount! That’s beyond my budget, so Prime Day 2025 will need to deliver a substantial deal.
The primary reason I haven’t invested in a clamshell foldable until now is my concern regarding longevity and durability. I value that the Razr series is water-resistant, but a bit of dust can damage the inner display. Plus, all three models receive OS updates up to Android 18, making me wary of spending flagship-level money on the Razr Ultra when it won’t remain at the forefront of features for long.
That’s why I might follow Brady’s lead and opt for the base Motorola Razr 2025. Even with its limitations compared to the Plus, I appreciate that it feels more compact in hand and offers better battery life.
The Motorola Razr 2025 typically retails for $699, so scoring the Plus for the same price right now is quite a deal. However, if the base model drops by a couple of hundred dollars for Prime Day — paired with a trade-in offer — and I can acquire this phone for the same price as a smartwatch? That would be absolutely fantastic.
Ultimately, I’m waiting for Prime Day 2025, hoping to secure an excellent foldable deal! If the Razr isn’t affordable enough, perhaps Samsung will be reducing stock on the Galaxy Z Flip 6, and I can save money on that instead.
