Our Favorite Motorola Smartphone Is $100 Off

Looking for a An Android smartphone with a unique touch and missed the Prime Day deals? Motorola is coming in with a $300 discount on the 2025 version of the Motorola Razer Ultra (8/10, WIRED Review), bringing the price down to a very reasonable $1,000.

There’s a lot to like about the Motorola Razr Ultra beyond its compact and unique design. This Razr model comes in a variety of colors, but at least on my end the discount is available on Pantone Scarab and Rio Red colors. They’re both immediately striking and stylish, setting them apart from the deep blacks and space grays you’re likely to find on other smartphones.

Our reviewer Julian Chokkattu was very pleased with the performance improvements brought to this generation of Razr flip phones. The screen has also been improved over previous generations, with a smoother crease in the middle that’s harder to spot, although you can still feel it during use. This is a large 7-inch AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, ideal for both regular use and gaming.

Of course, the big draw here is the exterior display, and Motorola has rolled out new compatible widgets and apps for the smaller screen. You can quickly check the weather, control your music or interact with various functions, as well as take selfies with the exterior camera. These features are all completely unique to smartphones that rock the same way, most of which are much more expensive.

The Razr has a host of new AI-enhanced features, whether you like them or not. The only one that really stood out in our review is the “Pay Attention” mode, which allows you to record a conversation or interview in tent mode with a real-time transcription and summary afterwards.

While we think this is the best Motorola smartphone you can buy right now, the cheaper Razr models are also discounted. The base version is marked down by $100 to just $600, although the Plus model is only $100 more, with a deeper $200 reduction.
