Motorola Razr 5G

The Motorola RAZR 5G is probably the worst camera phone you can that costs more than $1,200 / £1,400, but that doesn’t stop it being a hugely fun throwback, and a marked improvement over last year’s model. The disappointment of the single 48MP camera fades into the background every time you flip it open or interact with its surprisingly capable front display - but then rears its head when you come to take a picture. At this price tag, you’re paying for the luxury of a foldable phone, and the RAZR is difficult to recommend to most, but if you’re intent on living your best 2004 life 16 years on and can justify the cost for you, there’s a lot to love in the Motorola RAZR 5G.

To sum up, the Moto Razr 5G is a mediocre phone, and with such a high price tag it is pretty hard to recommend. It still feels like a proof of concept that isn't ready for the primetime.

The Razr's refined foldable flip phone feels fantastic to use. With the new cameras, addition of support for 5G and all the useful enhancements to the external display, the Razr feels like a "normal" phone that can do "normal" everyday stuff with its "anything but normal" foldable build. If I were to compare the Razr to a car, it would be a fun two-seat convertible.

The Motorola Razr 5G is a stylish folding phone that improves on its predecessor in every way.

The 2020 Razr might not be a device with mainstream appeal like the original from 15 years ago - plus the incoming glut of folding phone competitors is going to further challenge it - but nonetheless it's an exciting piece of technology that stands out for more of the right reasons than the wrong ones. But do you really need a folding phone? Probably not.
