Not a typo! You can already get the Motorola Razr (2025) for free — here's how
The Motorola Razr (2025) is already one of the more budget-friendly foldable phones out there, but less than a month into its release this flip-style phone is already getting a big discount. In fact, you'll be able to snag it for free — but that's only half of the good news. Total Wireless is giving new customers a free Motorola Razr (2025) when they port over their number and sign up for one of the carrier's 3-month unlimited data plans. For $165 (goes down to $150 with Auto Pay), you'll have access to 3-months of Prepaid Total Wireless 5G Unlimited Plan. If you need faster and priority speeds, you can choose its 5G+ Unlimited Plan for $195 ($180 with Auto Pay). Motorola Razr 2025: was $599 now free @ Total WirelessNot only is it stylish, but the Motorola Razr 2025 has a lot of utility as a flip style foldable phone. With its 3.6-inch outer screen, you'll be able to run any app without having to stretch your fingers. If you need a bigger display, you can open it up to reveal its 6.9-inch inner display. Given how the Motorola Razr (2025) normally fetches for $600 outright, paying $150 for a brand new foldable phone with 3-months of unlimited data service is an irresistible deal in my opinion. More consumers are choosing to ditch traditional wireless carriers in favor of MVNOs and other regional carriers, and this deal is yet another example of that. I've spent a lot of time with the Motorola Razr (2025), which offers a much more robust package than any of its predecessors — mainly for the fact that it boasts new Moto AI features that add to the experience. From generative AI photo creations with Image Studio, to its Catch Me Up feature that summarizes the most important notifications, you'll save time doing mundane things. Since it's a flip-style foldable, I really like how the Motorola Razr (2025) is a suitable camera phone for vlogging. Its combo 50MP main and 13MP ultrawide cameras give me all the framing I need to shoot video of myself and see the framing while using its 3.6-inch outer screen, which can only be done on flip-style phones such as this. I've also tried out Smart Connect, Motorola's desktop-like experience that allows it to seamlessly work with other devices. I saw it in action working alongside an Android tablet and Windows 11 laptop. Specifically, I find it handy having access to the phone and all of its apps within Windows — all while keeping the phone in my pocket. It's a lot like having a virtual version of the phone on my laptop. Beyond the hardware, this Motorola Razr (2025) deal bakes in 3-months of Total Wireless' unlimited service, which also includes hotspot functionality, international roaming, and more. What I also like about the plans is that Disney+ Premium is included on both the Total 5G Unlimited and Total 5G+ Unlimited plans. Now you can make good use of the foldable phone to stream your favorite shows and movies.

Motorola's 2025 Edge Is Coming Next Week With a Two-Day Battery and TurboPower Charging
The Motorola 2025 Edge (not to be confused with the just-revealed Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge slim handset) is on its way, and its arrival is imminent. The phone is slated for a June 5 arrival in the US and Canada, and costs $550. This comes soon after the company debuted its new batch of Razr phones. This year's Edge has a 6.7-inch super HD POLED display, which Motorola says has "improved contrast" and "13% more resolution than the previous generation." It has a 120Hz refresh rate and, of course, those signature curved edges on the display. There's a 50-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera, which can punch in with 3x magnification, or up to 30x digital zoom. There's also a 50-megapixel front-facing camera, which sounds like a promising way to level up your selfie game, but we'll have to see. As we've come to expect from recent phone releases, AI is there to help optimize your shots. Moto's Photo Enhancement Engine can reduce noise, amplify details and improve dynamic range, the company says. Edge owners can also tap into AI features in Google Photos like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur. Speaking of AI, like the 2025 Razr lineup, the Edge flexes a new AI key on the side to trigger Moto AI features such as Pay Attention, which records and summarizes conversations, and Next Move, which looks at what's on your screen and suggests follow-up actions. Google AI features like Gemini Live and Circle to Search are also onboard. The 2025 Motorola Edge has a 6.7-inch curved display. Motorola The Edge has an IP68 and IP69 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it can handle being submerged in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for up to half an hour, as well as being exposed to high-temperature water jets for up to 30 seconds. It's MIL-STD-810H certified, meaning it's endured military-grade testing for durability. The Corning Gorilla Glass 7i display offers twice the resistance to drops and scratches, Motorola says. Inside, the 2025 Edge packs a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 chipset, as well as 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The 5,200-mAh battery lasts up to two days on a single charge, according to Motorola, though that'll be worth validating in our own tests. The Edge supports 68-watt TurboPower charging, as well as 15-watt wireless charging. The phone comes with Android 15 out of the box. The 2025 Edge will be available unlocked in the US on June 5 at Best Buy, Amazon and Motorola's website. If you'd rather get the phone from a carrier, it'll be available at T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile, Total Wireless, Visible, Spectrum and Xfinity Mobile in the coming months, Motorola says. In Canada, you can buy the phone from Motorola's website starting June 5. Availability through select carriers and national retailers has yet to be announced. In the meantime, you can check out CNET's review of the 2025 Razr and Razr Ultra.

I tried Motorola Next Move, and it's unlike any other AI feature I've used
Ryan Haines / Android Authority I've never been great with on-device AI features. Sure, I have an apartment full of iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy devices, each with a toolbox of helpful tricks, but that doesn't mean I know how to use them all. It's almost like I have so many options that it paralyzes me with indecision rather than making my life easier. So, when Motorola introduced Next Move as the Moto AI tool to steer me towards other AI tools, I figured it had to be worth adding just one more cook to the kitchen. It turns out I was right. Would you trust an AI tool that only steers you to other AI tools? 0 votes Yes, that would be helpful NaN % No, I don't use AI on my phone just yet NaN % Next Move? What about a first move? Ryan Haines / Android Authority Given my struggles with the ever-expanding world of AI features, I went into my time with Next Move cautiously. How cautiously? Well, I couldn't find it at first or didn't know what I was looking for, so I immediately raised alarm bells. I started asking for guidance to find my AI guidance before discovering that I'd been overthinking the entire adventure. As it turns out, you don't need to activate Motorola's Next Move. It doesn't appear in any settings menu because you don't have to opt in or out of the feature — it's just, well, there. Any time you open the Moto AI menu, Next Move kicks in automatically, adding tailored options to the end of Motorola's go-to list, encouraging users to use the menu more often than not. For my Razr Ultra, that meant frequently pressing and holding the new AI Key, a much better implementation of Nothing's Essential Key that sits opposite the power button and volume rockers. If nothing else, Next Move has trained me to use Motorola's AI Key early and often. In a way, I think I understand exactly why Motorola set Next Move up this way. It threw me for a loop while trying to figure out when I was using it and when I wasn't, but I think I prefer that to being forced into it with a heavy hand. After all, I could imagine that many people are in the same boat as I am, where they're curious about using AI, but don't necessarily want to give up control of their phone or jump into new features too quickly. So, Next Move started to feel like the natural halfway point. And, now that I had my halfway point, it felt like time to start exploring. However, I still wasn't entirely sure what Motorola's Next Move suggestions would feel like. I didn't know if they'd only kick in after using another AI feature — an actual next move, in that case — or if I could start from scratch. So, I did the only thing I could: I started pressing Motorola's AI Key whenever I thought I'd generally do things by hand. Slowly but surely, I'm warming up to Moto AI Ryan Haines / Android Authority As it turns out, saying yes to the AI Key (or the Moto AI menu in general) is all I needed to do. The more I triggered it, the more I noticed and used the Next Move recommendations. Were they all perfect? No, but neither is the state of on-device AI. I decided the best way to test out my AI tour guide was to go through as typical a day as possible, opting for Moto AI any time I'd normally do the work by hand. In practice, that meant scrolling Instagram, checking the status of a few incoming packages, and doing some marathon research for the upcoming fall racing season. However, whenever I wanted to save something or add a date to a list, I pressed the AI Key instead of opening my Notes app or Google Calendar. Then, I waited to see what the Moto AI menu would have in store. Sometimes, it offered helpful insights, like creating a running playlist with the Playlist Studio or saving the details of signing up for the Erie Marathon as a Remember This memory. I also appreciated that the Moto AI menu continued to give me deep research from Perplexity as an option, especially when I'd usually tumble right down a rabbit hole. I let Perplexity explain why Erie is a top Boston Marathon qualifier, where to stay in the area, and what I'd have to do to pick up my race packet, all from essentially pressing the AI Key and tapping the top option in Motorola's menu. Other times, though, it felt like Next Move was pushing AI features for the sake of it. Right behind suggesting Perplexity for research or a playlist for running, Next Move thought I might want a generated image of people running the Erie Marathon, wonky image artifacts and all — sorry, Motorola, but no thanks. Sometimes, Next Move sticks the landing. Other times, I'm just not sure it knows what to do with Moto AI. I'm still a little confused by Next Move's other limitations, like recommending I try Catch Me Up even when I have no notifications waiting or offering to generate an image when editing a portrait in Google Photos, only to replace my friend with a generic white guy. I'd also like Next Move to steer me towards AI features beyond Motorola's in-house options. Yes, Perplexity is still an option on the list, but only because it comes pre-installed on all new Razrs. I'm sure there are situations when a chat with Gemini Live makes the most sense or Copilot could keep me more productive, but they don't seem to fit within Motorola's Next Move umbrella. Ultimately, though, Next Move has me further along with Moto AI than I've ever been. It's helped me make sense of Motorola's sudden leap into the AI race, and it's done so in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. Maybe it's more of a first move than a next one, but it's finally made AI feel approachable.

The Motorola Razr Ultra's coolest AI feature has one annoying hiccup
I like almost everything about Motorola's new Razr Ultra. It looks gorgeous, feels powerful, and its cover screen experience remains miles ahead of Samsung's Flex Window. I even think Motorola struck the right balance with its Moto AI rollout, pairing classic features like an image generator with useful note-taking tools and a quick way to summarize notifications. I've actually found ways to work Moto AI into my daily life, which isn't something I've always been able to say with Pixels or Samsung Galaxy devices. And yet, there's a problem. One of the Razr Ultra's coolest features — and its one exclusive AI tool — makes me just a little bit nervous every time I try to use it. Here's why Look and Talk is Moto AI at its best… and worst. If you had a Razr Ultra, would you use Look and Talk? 0 votes Yes, it sounds neat! NaN % No, I'm not leaving my phone propped up like that. NaN % No wake word, no problem Ryan Haines / Android Authority First, the good news — Motorola's Look and Talk is by far the easiest way to trigger an AI-powered assistant. It functions exactly like it sounds, you just look at your Razr Ultra, then you talk to it. There's no need for a wake word or a wave of the hand — make sure you're in range, and the phone will spring into action. You will, of course, have to wait for Moto AI to open. Otherwise, you'll find yourself talking to a phone that's not ready to listen yet. Thankfully, the Moto AI interface is pretty distinct, so when you see the rainbow of pink, blue, and orange, you'll know it's ready to go. From there, it's just a matter of knowing which assistant you might need and being mindful that you're staying within the Razr Ultra's range. According to Motorola, Look and Talk is designed to work up to an arm's length away, plus a little wiggle room in case you're working around a desk or in the kitchen. For me, that's primarily held true — I'm not tall, so I don't have very long arms, but the Razr Ultra has seemed pretty responsive within about three and a half feet or so. If nothing else, it's reassuring that my phone isn't always listening to me. When it does listen, I've been impressed with Motorola's answers. When it does listen, though, I've been impressed with Motorola's answers. The Razr Ultra has been able to help me plan a busy spring weekend in Baltimore while cooking dinner (and following a recipe on a different device). It's also pulled up marathon dates and locations while I try to work out my chances of running a qualifying time for the Boston Marathon this fall. Then, when I'm finished, I can simply walk back out of range and know that my queries are saved somewhere in my Moto AI history for the next time I need to refer back to them. I just don't trust leaving a $1,300 flip phone in this position Ryan Haines / Android Authority So, if Look and Talk lets me chat with my AI-powered assistant hands-free and doesn't require a wake word or input other than my face, what could be wrong with it? Well, even the smallest of gestures still counts as a gesture. Unfortunately, Look and Talk doesn't work with the Razr Ultra closed, so I have to prop my phone into laptop mode or tent mode before it will even look for my face. That means leaving a very expensive flip phone in the relatively vulnerable position of half-open, half-closed while trusting the somewhat limited IP48 rating to keep it safe from harm. And yes, I generally trust both the hinge and the water resistance rating to do their jobs — so far, both have worked just fine. However, I'm nowhere near learning the muscle memory to automatically put my phone into laptop or tent mode when I set it on my desk or kitchen counter. Because the Razr Ultra comes out of my pocket closed, it gets placed on my desk closed, and then I have to pick it up and open it halfway for Look and Talk to kick in. At that point, it almost becomes easier to use my hands to navigate the Moto AI menu, so I can use Remember This, the Playlist Studio, or wonder what my Next Move might be. Look and Talk would be a much smarter feature if I didn't have to angle my phone just-so. I have, of course, only been using the Razr Ultra for a few days at this point, so I could prove myself wrong over time. I might eventually find that I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket and putting it into laptop mode automatically — I don't love the idea of facing the hinge to the sky — but I'm not there yet. Besides, I'm still running the risk of debris settling right next to the display and accidentally scratching the ultra-thin glass when I shut my phone to move along with my day. I don't know about you, but I haven't budgeted for expensive Razr repairs like that. In the meantime, Motorola should allow Look and Talk to work with the Razr Ultra closed. It can still rely on Face Unlock and hang onto the limited range of three or so feet, but I think the feature has to be ready to work in a position that benefits the most people. For me, that means being ready to go from the second I pull it out of my pocket.
