Motorola Razr+ 2025 in for review
We did the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra review, and the Razr 2025 review is underway. Now it's time to welcome the third and final member of the series - the Razr+ 2025, which is exclusive to North America and doesn't have a global version unlike its siblings. Motorola Razr+ 2025
This one sits in the middle of the pack, below the Ultra, above the vanilla. Indeed, it packs some superior specs to the regular Razr 2025 in most categories. The SoC is a more powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with more RAM (12GB vs 8GB). It lacks an ultrawide but offers a 50MP 2x zoom instead.
Both displays are better - the inner one has 165Hz refresh rate, while the cover screen is larger at 4 inches vs 3.6 inches.
Where the Razr+ 2025 is below its counterparts is in the battery capacity - it's 4,000mAh vs the 4,500mAh on the vanilla and 4,700mAh on the Ultra.
Our Razr+ 2025 features the Mocha Mousse paint job. There're also Hot Pink, Peach Fuzz, Spring Green, and Midnight Blue versions. There's a single 12/256GB config to choose from, and it ships with a USB-C cable. The Razr+ 2025 is $799 at the time of this article - down from $999.
We've said it time and time again, but Motorola is truly in a league of its own when it comes to phone colors. The Razr+ 2025 looks unique. It feels great too, with a very grippy leather-like finish on the back panel.
The hinge is perfectly weighed - not too firm, but it's not soft and vague. Top marks on hardware!

There's also something to be said of Motorola's take on Android. Some of us would go as far as calling it the best Android skin there is, thanks to pixel-perfect scaling throughout the OS, and lovely visuals.
On the other hand we need to mention a gripe we have with the Razr+ 2025. Its display came in a Neutral color profile by default, and it's lifeless - very desaturated and dull. Not a big issue, though - you can put the screen in a Vivid mode to rectify this.
Interestingly, the Razr 2025 came in Vivid by default.
Our review is underway so stay tuned!

T-Mobile officially implements new identity verification system to give customers peace of mind
Biometric technology CLEAR has officially announced its partnership with T-Mobile. The carrier will use the company's CLEAR1 identity platform to verify employee logins. We have been hearing about the implementation of this system for quite some time. CLEAR1 is a multi-factor authentication system that confirms identities using selfies to assure that an employee is who they say they are. It replaces traditional authentication methods such as passwords and one-time PINs. Over the years, T-Mobile has had to confront multiple cybersecurity threats such as data breaches and SIM swap attacks. The implementation of a new system shows that the company wants to be more resilient to such threats in the future. While T-Mobile users will be happy to know that the company has introduced a new system to bolster security, many employees have demonstrated unwillingness in the past to use the platform, claiming it violated their privacy. To register with CLEAR, employees will seemingly have to provide a valid ID as well as a face scan. The biometrics will be handled by CLEAR and employees who do not sign up may lose access to tools required for their was also reported that CLEAR collected far more data than you'd expect an identity company to do and the data would be retained even after an employee is let go. However, employees can request to have their data deleted, which should ease some nerves. Leaked document detailing CLEAR requirements for T-Mobile employees. | Image Credit - The Mobile Report T-Mobile may have been working with employees over the past couple of months to address their concerns. It's not unusual for people to be apprehensive about new systems, but CLEAR has an impressive roster of clients, which should inspire confidence in its ability to keep data safe. With T-Mobile branching out into new services and acquiring more customers through purchases, it's sitting on more customer data than before, which makes security all the more paramount. At the same time, it's important to ensure that employees are comfortable using new systems and that any fears they may have are assuaged.

Change to Pixel Launcher spotted after latest Android 16 QPR1 Beta release
The other day Google released Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2 and while it included various fixes and new features, the latest beta release for the September Pixel Feature Drop also included a small design change to the Pixel Launcher which we will get to in a second, Before we do, we should tell you that this new look for the Pixel Launcher fits in with Google's comments about the September Pixel Feature Drop (aka Quarterly Platform Release 1 for Android 16 ). Google previously said that the future Feature Drop will add "much of the new visual polish associated with Material Expressive." Now this might not be what Pixel users want to see from a QPR update. Speaking for myself, I always prefer cool features even if they are taken from newer Pixel models. Google has a habit of announcing a new feature for the latest Pixel model hoping that those with an older Pixel will upgrade and buy the latest phone. But I've learned over time that if you keep your wallet closed, the coveted Pixel feature will eventually end up backported on your older phone. I can think of a few features I really wanted, such as Pixel 8's Magic Editor (my Pixel 6 Pro launched with the Magic Eraser only)Pixel 7's Photo Unblur, which cleaned up older photos making them look new and sharp, and Pixel 7 's Clear Calling, which cleans up background noise on phone calls. All of these, and more, are now on my Pixel 6 Pro . Other features backported to the Pixel 6 series include the accessibility feature called Guided Frame which uses voice to help a Pixel user with limited vision frame a selfie. Arrow points to smaller Google G icon in the Pixel launcher search bar in Android 16 QPR1 Beta 2. | Image credit-PhoneArena Also rolled out to the Pixel 6 line is the Battery Health indicator which delivers information about how much estimated capacity your battery has remaining. One major feature that many Pixel 6 series were hoping for but will never receive is Face Unlock. However, back in 2022 there was some hope that the Sony IMX663 image sensor used on the Pixel 6 Pro could be used to create a depth map which could be employed on a Face Unlock feature. Ultimately, Pixel 6 users never received a facial recognition feature and are limited to using their in-display fingerprint scanner (which works wonderfully in Android 16 QPR1 Beta2). The new feature that arrived for the the Pixel Launcher appears on the launcher's search bar at the top of the screen. The iconic "G" logo on the left of the bar is noticeably smaller especially when compared tot he two remaining icons in the field which includes the microphone icon you tap to access the assistant, and the Google Lens icon you press to open that feature. As changes go, no this is not a big one but it does prove that Google is always looking to make what it thinks are improvements to its software no matter how limited the results are.
