Remember the early days of cell phones when brands like Motorola reigned supreme? Believe it or not, Motorola never actually went away; its modern lineup of phones just tends to be dwarfed by bigger brands like Apple, Samsung, and Google. Motorola devices still pack quite the punch, though, and one of our favorite phones of 2024 is also one of the best phone deals this week:

For a limited time, when you purchase the unlocked version of the Motorola razr+ on Amazon, you’ll only pay $800. At full price, this phone sells for $1,000. We tested this smartphone close to a year ago, and our reviewers had this to say: “The Motorola Razr Plus is the best flip phone foldable I’ve ever used. Between the unmatched cover screen, stunning hardware, and powerful specs, there’s just so much to like.”

Why you should buy the Motorola razr+

Similar to hardware from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip lineup, the Moto razr+ has two gorgeous screens to work with. The cover is a 3.6-inch pOLED display that brings HDR10+ and 144Hz refresh rate support to the table, while the main screen is 6.8 inches and boasts a 2640 x 1080 pixel spread, 1,400 nits of peak brightness and an amazing 165Hz refresh rate. Way to go, Moto!

Running Android 14 with the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 CPU, you’ll experience some of the fastest and most intuitive performance, bar none. The Moto razr+ also has all-day battery life, an excellent camera system, and an IP52 rating. And while this deal applies to the Midnight Blue colorway, the Moto razr+ is available in several more colors, too.

It’s hard to say how long this markdown is going to last, so now might be the best time to buy. Save $200 when you order the unlocked Motorola razr+ on Amazon. If you want to keep things flippable but would rather stick to Samsung, you should check out our list of the best Samsung Galaxy Z deals. We also have a more general list of Motorola phone deals to peruse.

I’d trade the Pixel 11 Pro’s temperature sensor for HiLight every single time
I don’t miss the Pixel’s temperature sensor. I need HiLight more
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

During the recent Pixel 11 announcement, Google showcased its new HiLight feature. We had our initial skepticism about it, but what caught my eye more was the temperature sensor being replaced. This was a feature barely anyone remembers (or uses), though it was something unique to the Pixels at the time.

The hardware eventually became capable of measuring body temperature, and I can appreciate the engineering behind squeezing something like this into a smartphone's body. Even then, I rarely had a reason to reach for it in day-to-day use. While I wasn't immediately drawn to the concept behind its replacement, I don't mind making this trade at all.

I played around with the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. I think Google finally saw the right focus points
The Pixel Fold’s smallest upgrades make the biggest difference
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Google has a new foldable ready to hit the shelves, and it's quite a compelling package with some alarms going off. I spent some time with the phone earlier today, and after collecting my thoughts, I can’t quite figure out whether I should be excited about it or disregard it in favor of rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 pair. 

The conundrum is warranted. It’s a $1,899 phone after all, and that’s the base price. But based on my limited time with the phone, it comes out as an overwhelmingly more practical device, especially for buyers based in the US. But let’s set aside the comparisons for the latter part of the debate.

Samsung may be going in for the full iOS-esque Liquid Glass look in OneUI 9.5
Well, well, well, Samsung could very much adopt the full Liquid Glass look instead of the mild-baked version we see currently.

Samsung appears to be preparing a major visual overhaul for One UI, with early leaks suggesting One UI 9.5 could adopt a more glass-like design with shinier edges, transparency, and greater visual depth.

The reported changes surfaced shortly after Samsung began rolling out One UI 9 Beta 5 for the Galaxy S26 series. According to Android Central, tipster Fahad Ali shared leaked screenshots of the upcoming interface on X, offering an early look at Samsung's apparent design direction.
