Motorola Razr Plus (2024) price
Motorola worked hard to reduce the price of its high-end foldable phone, especially after the outrageous price tags that the first two generations came with. Last year, the Razr Plus went for $1,000, and all sources point at the same price for the 2024 version of the Razr Plus.
As for pre-orders, as you have seen from the release schedule of the Motorola Razr throughout the years, anything date-related is quite chaotic. That said, last year pre-orders for the Razr Plus opened a week before the phone entered retail stores, so we expect the same to happen this year too.

|---|---|
| Motorola Razr Plus (2024) | $1,000* |
| Motorola Razr Plus (2023)/Razr 40 Ultra | $1,000 |

Motorola Razr Plus (2024) name
Motorola is one of those tech companies that likes to change the naming of its devices often, not to mention the region-specific names the company uses for its phones (Razr Plus in the US vs. Razr ** Ultra in the RoW).
A leaked render revealed that Motorola intends to continue calling the US version of its premium foldable "Razr+ (or Razr Plus)" in 2024. One thing is for sure though, the Razr moniker is going nowhere.Motorola Razr Plus (2024) camera
The camera system is where the Motorola Razr Plus is rumored to receive the most significant upgrades, with a set of two new 50MP cameras at the back. Besides the much higher megapixel count, the other big difference is that the second camera is no longer an ultrawide, but a 2X telephoto instead.
The front camera will likely remain the same 32MP one that was featured on last year's Razr Plus, although we could see some small alterations like a wider aperture.
Motorola Razr Plus (2024) storage
Unfortunately, unlike its Chinese counterpart, the Motorola Razr Plus from 2023 came with only the 8/256GB memory and storage combination in the US. In China the phone was also available in a 12/512GB variant.According to leaked price listings, the base Razr Plus (2024) model will come with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, compared to last year's starting combo of 8GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Motorola Razr Plus (2024) Design Changes
There is a render of what is allegedly the next version of the Razr Plus for Verizon. Looking at the render, it appears that the design will be mostly indistinguishable from that of the predecessor.Admittedly, the image from Verizon is not ideal, but there are some much more recent renders that recently popped up, showing off the 2024 Razr Plus' design in better detail. Here they are:
Colors-wize, the new Razr Plus is expected to come in Midnight Blue, Spring Green, and Hot Pink hues, which would mean one less color option than last year's model.
Motorola Razr Plus (2024) display
So far there hasn't been any news specifically related to the displays of the Razr Plus (2024), but the given the increase in screen brightness that's been happening the past year or so in the phone industry, there is a good chance Motorola will add this as an upgrade with its new high-end foldable.Besides the higher brightness, we also expect to see a creaseless inner display with the same 6.9-inch pOLED panel and support for a 144Hz refresh rate.
There have been some rumours saying that the external display could increase from 3.63 inches to a nice and even 4.0 inches, while others are saying there will be no change, so this is definitely one of the more uncertain upgrades.
Motorola Razr Plus (2024) battery
The 2023 Razr Plus packed a 3,800mAh battery inside, and it did very well in our battery tests. Motorola is said to include a slightly larger battery with the 2024 Razr Plus, maxing out at 4,000mAh.Expected Battery Size
| Battery capacity/phone | Battery size |
|---|---|
| Motorola Razr Plus (2024) | 4,000 mAh* |
| Motorola Razr Plus (2023)/Razr 40 Ultra | 3,800 mAh |
| Motorola Razr (2022) | 3,500 mAh |
| Motorola Razr 5G | 2,800 mAh |
| Motorola Razr (2019) | 2,510 mAh |
Charging Speed
Recent leaks are saying that the Motorola Razr Plus (2024) will have the fastest charging battery among foldable clamshells, going as high as 68W! As for the wireless charging, it might remain the same 5W as with last year's model.
If you are wondering whether you would get a charger with the new Razr Plus, Motorola did include one with the predecessor, so we expect the same this year. The difference is that this time we expect a 68W charger instead of a 30W one.
Motorola Razr Plus (2024) features and software
Given that we didn't see any longer software support for the company's Motorola Edge flagship series, we don't expect to see anything more than 3 years of Android updates for the 2024 Razr Plus. Security patches should be 4 years.
The 2024 Razr Plus will most likely come with Android 14, so that means the last Android version they will get is Android 17.Another good indicator that there will be AI-related features with the new Razr Plus is that the Edge 50 Pro and Edge 50 Ultra came with several, most of which were related to the camera experience.
Motorola Razr Plus (2024) hardware and specs
Leaks are shedding light about the specs of the upcoming Motorola Razr Plus (2024). While the phone might not boast the absolute latest processor, it's rumored to be upgraded with the more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip. This should offer some boost in performance, especially in the graphics department.As mentioned earlier, there might also be storage and memory upgrades. Leaks suggest a significant jump, with base memory increasing from 8GB to 12GB and storage doubling from 256GB to a whopping 512GB.
Specific details about the type of storage technology are lacking, but considering the Edge 50 Pro utilizes the faster UFS 4.0 storage, it's likely the Razr Plus (2024) will follow suit, offering an upgrade from the previous generation's UFS 3.1. The leaks currently suggest the phone might retain the same LPDDR5 RAM.
Should I wait for the Motorola Razr Plus (2024)?
- Why You Should Wait: In case you are rocking rocking an older flip phone that goes back by 2 or more years, the new Razr Plus can be a noticeable and worthwhile upgrade. A powerful processor, AI implementation, and larger cover display are all improvements that will improve your daily experience with the phone in a way that would be impactful.
- When Not To Wait: Motorola's main competitor, Samsung, usually releases a new generation of its Z Flip series in August, so it might be worth waiting so you can compare the two foldables and make an educated choice which one would be the better pick for you.
