Motorola has had a busy old week. The company has announced its latest Razr series and Edge series phones, as well as a pair of open earbuds with a twist, and its re-entry into smartwatches after several years out of the game. 

We’ve been at the launch event in New York and we’ve got our hands on all of the devices, from the Razr Ultra, Razr+ and Razr, to the Watch Fit and Moto Buds Loop, but if you want quick low down on everything the Lenovo-owned company has just announced, we’ve got you right here.

What did Motorola announce at its event in New York?

The Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 is the star of the show and the company’s new flagship folding phone, available in a great selection of color options and featuring a 7-inch pOLED internal display with a 165Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 4,500 nits. It’s paired with a 4-inch external display that also has a 165Hz refresh rate, along with a peak brightness of 3,500 nits.

The device is IP48 rated, has a re-designed hinge that’s enforced with titanium and it runs on the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. There’s a dual 50-megapixel camera system on the rear, a 50-megapixel selfie camera at the top of the internal display, and a 4,700mAh battery with 67W fast charging support for a day of power in 8 minutes. 

The Motorola Razr Plus 2025 has slightly reduced specs compared to the Razr Ultra, though still offers an IP48 rating, as does the standard Razr. The standard Motorola Razr 2025 has a smaller external display at 3.6-inches and a lower resolution ultra wide camera at 13-megapixels, though it does offer a large 4,500mAh battery. 

The Edge 60 Pro meanwhile, has a quad-curved 6.7-inch pOLED display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and “Pantone Validation”. The MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme powers it, and there is a huge 6,000mAh battery under the hood with 90W fast charging support. In terms of cameras, there’s a triple rear camera with two 50-megapixel sensors and a 10-megapixel telephoto sensor, along with a 50-megapixel sensor for the selfie camera.

What about the Motorola wearables announced for 2025?

Moving onto the Moto Loop Buds and you’ll find an open-ear design with Motorola saying these are built for life’s adventures. There are two colour options, with the French Grey featuring Swarovski Crystals, while a Trekking Green is crystal-free and a little more subtle. Battery life is said to be 37 hours with the charging case and sound is tuned by Bose with spatial audio supported.

Last but not least, Motorola has returned to smartwatches after a few years away with the Watch Fit. It’s a more budget offering to the likes of the old Moto 360 and it has a shape similar to Apple Watch rather than circular. It also doesn’t run Wear OS. The aluminium case has a plastic back, measures 9.5mm thick and weighs 25g.

There are a number of sensors on board including built-in GPS; it’s 5ATM water resistant; and it comes with a fabric band. It’s the battery life where the biggest selling point is though, with a claim of 16 days.

No pricing or availability information has been detailed by Motorola as yet for the devices announced but Moto AI is heavily on board many of them, and there is a big collaboration with Pantone too, not just in terms of colors on the phones, but the display and cameras too.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 review: I spent weeks testing it, and I don’t want to put this beauty down
It looks cute. It handles like a charm. But beyond that palm-friendly profile is a beast that you don't want to stop using.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldable smartphone

See at Amazon

I've never used a foldable phone with as much fervor and daily joy as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8. The first time I closed it and slipped it into my jeans, I did a small double-take, because it went in like a normal phone. That sounds trivial until you remember every Samsung foldable phone before it felt like carrying a TV remote in your pocket. Samsung has thrown out the tall, narrow shape that defined the line for years and replaced it with a wider, passport-style body, and the whole device is better for it. At 201 grams and 9.7 mm folded, it's among the lightest and thinnest book-style foldables you can buy. You really need to hold it in your hands to feel just how well put-together this device is.

I don’t care how thin the Galaxy Z Fold 8 is, and these two foldables show exactly why
The Razr Fold is thicker than Samsung’s latest, but I’d happily take the trade
Motorola Razr Fold vs Honor Magic V6 Featured

Every year, foldable manufacturers proudly shave another fraction of a millimeter from their newest phones. Samsung is a great example of this, building some of the sleekest flexible devices available in the market. Older foldables were chunky bricks, but the newer ones are now breaching regular flagship sizes.

After spending time with the Motorola Razr Fold and Honor Magic V6, then comparing them against Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Fold 8, the hardware I appreciate most has very little to do with which device is the thinnest. What I'd rather trade an extra bit of width for is a useful hinge and a bigger battery.
