Motorola Razr 60: When Motorola revived the Razr from the dead, nostalgia and modern tech mixed in a way that caught everyone’s attention.
Fast forward to now, and the Motorola Razr 60 builds on that history beyond the nostalgia — a flip phone for the 5G era with style, functionality and just enough quirk to stand out in a sea of slabs.
But even more than its endearing foldable form, is the Razr 60 really satisfying where we all want it to? Let’s unfold the full story.
Design: Vintage soul, Modern vibes
When you first lay eyes on the Razr 60, one thing stands out to you — style.
Skinny, stylish and a welcome departure from the deluge of square devices out there, this phone stays true to its past while looking toward the future.
Folding the G3s closes it to pocket- and small-purse-friendly dimensions. Open it, and you encounter a tall display that seems surprisingly sturdy, courtesy of Motorola’s improved hinge mechanism.
The back is a vegan leather finish which gives a soft premium material touch and a far better grip than glass.
It is very rare that a phone is as pretty as this and feels so good to use.
Display: A Tale of Two Screens
The Motorola Razr 60 has not one but two screens. The front is dominated by an outer screen — a 1.5-inch AMOLED Quick View display — that allows you to glance notifications, control music, or even take quick selfies without ever having to open the phone.
Open it up, and you get a 6.9-inch pOLED display at Full HD+ resolution, with a 144Hz refresh rate. It’s colorful, glassy-smooth, and just tall enough for immersive scrolling, reading or watching videos.
The crease is still there, but not very noticeable and something that your eyes easily adapt to — nothing deal-breaking.
Performance: Smooth Operator
Under the hood, the Razr 60 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage.
This isn’t a top-of-the-line flagship chip, but it’s perfectly serviceable.
Apps open fast, switching between multiple tasks is smooth, and day-to-day operations are a breeze. You can even play some casual games — Asphalt 9 or PUBG Mobile play just fine, though you might need to stick to a relatively low level of graphics on the heavier titles.
Motorola’s Android 13-based MyUX keeps things pretty close to stock Android, but it comes with some useful additions, gesture navigation, and Moto Actions, among other features. It’s fast, responsive, and delightfully bloat-free.
Camera: Not Just for Selfies
For such a form-over-feature phone, the Razr 60 does not completely skimp on function. It has a 64MP main camera, with OIS, and 13MP ultra-wide shooter.
Images in good light look crisp, well-balanced and full of detail. It’s also not perfect, shooting well in low light without a flash, but not spectacularly so; night mode helps pull out more clarity.
The real gem here is the selfie experience. And thanks to that outer screen, you can use the main camera for selfies, resulting in much higher image quality than you’ll get from any front-facing lens.
Video tops out at 4K 30fps, which is good enough for social media, if not professional level.
Battery & Charging: Smaller & Stronger
You would think a small foldable would suffer from poor battery life, but the 4200mAh battery in the Razr 60 holds up fairly well.
It breezes through a day’s worth of moderate use, power-sipping software and display tech enabling it along the way.
It not only supports 30W wired charging but wireless charging as well — a rarity in this form factor. It’s not blazing fast, but it’s also perfectly sufficient for day-to-day use.

Motorola Razr 60: Final Thoughts: Flip It and Love It
The Motorola Razr 60 isn’t about the raw specs, or even what it scores in benchmark tests — instead, it’s an attempt at providing an experience that looks and feels, quite honestly, fun again.
It’s the sexiest, most compact, and if I’m being honest, does everything most people can want without trying to be a tech monster.
If you’re sick of the monotony of smartphone design and looking for something bold, something different, something that actually makes you giddy to use, the Razr 60 is a toy worth every fraction of a second of the attention it commands.
