Motorola slashes the price of the Razr (2024), making it a no-brainer for foldable fans
The 1TB Razr Ultra (2025) may be selling at a hefty discount right now, but it's still quite expensive. So, what do you do if you want to score a capable clamshell foldable at a price that won't break the bank? You go for the Razr (2024) instead. We know, we know, it's an older phone—and we, the tech-savvy, don't usually like those. However, Motorola is currently selling it at a sweet $200 discount, bringing the price down to just $499.99. Furthermore, you can trade in your old phone for an extra $100 in savings. And if that's not enough, the manufacturer is tossing in a free case that would usually set you back about $50. Trade-in Gift $399 99 $699 99 $300 off (43%) Act fast and get the Motorola Razr (2024) for $200 off its price. Trade in your old phone for an additional $100 discount. In addition, Motorola is tossing in a free case (a $50 value). Don't hesitate! Buy at Motorola The Razr (2024) may no longer be the latest Razr phone, but don't let that stop you from taking advantage of this deal. This bad boy still packs a punch, courtesy of its MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chipset and 8GB of RAM. It can easily handle most tasks without breaking a sweat. On top of that, it rocks a gorgeous 6.9-inch AMOLED display with a 2640 x 1080 resolution and HDR10+ support, delivering stunning visuals. It also takes pretty decent photos with its 50 MP main camera, though you might notice occasional oversharpening, some loss of detail in bright areas, and a slight blue or green tint in certain pictures. Of course, given that this is a mid-ranger and that it's also a foldable — and those aren't among the best camera phones — we believe the camera performance is satisfactory, especially given the current price. All in all, the Razr (2024) is still worth getting, and we encourage you to act fast and grab one now if you want a speedy clamshell foldable at a bargain price. Don't miss out!

Here's when Motorola's Swarovski-clad Razr is launching
Vlad, 16 July 2025 A few days ago we heard that Motorola would be launching a Swarovski crystal-clad Razr, and today the brand has confirmed this and revealed its official launch date: August 5. As you can see, the official teaser only mentions "something brilliant" coming, and promises that its iconic device will get "an extra sparkly makeover". Something glamorous is coming your way! Stay tuned to see our icon get an extra sparkly makeover💎 #razr — motorolaus (@MotorolaUS) July 15, 2025 We assume no specs will change, but of course that remains to be seen as the brand has yet to confirm any internals. Perhaps the teaser campaign will continue in the coming weeks, revealing more details. If so, we'll let you know what to expect. While the new Razrs are barely a few months old, Motorola may want to make sure they step back into the spotlight as we get into the fall smartphone launch season, which will be started off by Google allegedly announcing the Pixel 10 family on August 20.

Motorola teases Swarovski-studded Razr, but all I want is the return of the D&G collab
TL;DR Motorola is officially teasing the launch of its sparkly new Razr in collaboration with Swarovski. The company plans to unveil the device on August 5, but leaks have already outed its design. Moto's new video teasers also offer glimpses of the phone, but in fleeting details. Motorola is getting ready to add some serious sparkle to its foldable lineup. The company has officially started teasing its upcoming Swarovski collaboration, and yes, it looks just as glam as you'd expect. The crystal-studded Moto Razr 2025 will be fully unveiled on August 5, and Motorola says it's out to 'bring the sparkle' to a market full of 'basic phone designs and dull, predictable finishes.' While Motorola hasn't explicitly confirmed that a bedazzled Razr is on the way, its teaser videos (see above) all but give the phone away. We get quick flashes of what appears to be the glitzy new Razr, alongside the previously launched Moto Buds Loop, which also got the Swarovski treatment. According to previous leaks, the Swarovski-studded Razr will come in a shade called Icy Blue, and Motorola is using the base Razr 2025 variant as the canvas for this collaboration. That means if you were hoping for a sparkly Razr Plus or Ultra, this one may not be for you. YTECHB Motorola isn't new to fashion-forward partnerships. Earlier this year, it teamed up with Paris Hilton to launch the Razr Plus Paris Hilton Edition in a very fitting pink color with the phrase 'That's Hot' engraved on the hinge. The company also has an ongoing partnership with Pantone, releasing Razrs in colors like Peach Fuzz and Viva Magenta. MobilePhoneMuseum But if you ask me, none of these hold a candle to the iconic gold Dolce & Gabbana Razr V3i from 2005. That one had gold and silver trimmings, a gold mirror finish, and a ridiculously shiny keypad that looked like it came straight from a fashion runway. I still think about it sometimes. It was my second and last Razr phone. Bring it back, Moto. Pretty please? As for this new Swarovski Razr, chances are the price tag will sparkle as much as the phone.

Which Foldable Will You Flip For? Comparing Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE
Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while the phone is still expensive -- it'll set you back $1,100 to start -- it's matching the price of its predecessor. That's admirable considering this newest iteration of the Flip phone series features several upgrades, including bigger screens and more powerful hardware. But the Z Flip 7 isn't the only clamshell foldable Samsung is debuting this summer. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is slightly smaller and bridges the gap between the two generations of Flip models. This "fan edition" is positioned as more of a midrange phone, but the $900 price tag is a substantial chunk of change -- to put it into perspective, that's still $200 more than the latest iteration of Motorola's Razr. The Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE share a lot of similarities, especially when it comes to Samsung's strong commitment to software support. At the end of the day, though, you'll have a clear preference for one design over another -- and that preference might be worth throwing an extra $200 at. If you don't have the time to dive into every facet of these phones, here's the TL;DR: If money isn't an object and you're looking for a Flip model with a cutting edge processor and marginal improvements to the screen size, camera system and battery life, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the clear choice for you. If you're looking for something close to the Z Flip 7 that has a more conservative feature set for less money -- but you're still willing to spend a bit more money than the average midrange phone -- the Galaxy Z Flip FE positively iterates on the Z Flip 6's processing power, battery and operating system. The Z Flip 7 features a larger cover screen than any of its predecessors. Patrick Holland/CNET Design and display Candidly, the biggest and most direct differences between the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE are found in the designs of these phones. If you're shelling out an extra $200 for the Z Flip 7, it's probably because of its larger cover screen and thinner body. The Z Flip 7 comes in four different colors. You'll be able to choose from black, grayish blue and red colors in-store, with an additional cool light green Mint color available if you're ordering the foldable online direct from Samsung. The Z Flip 7 FE doesn't feature nearly as many color options -- this particular clamshell device comes in classic black or white, that's it. Those are clean designs, but you lose out on the wider berth of colors available on the Z Flip 7. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 features a 4.1-inch cover screen, which is a pretty substantial increase over its predecessor's 3.4-inch front-facing display. It does this by using the entire area around the camera lenses, which are cut out of the display, instead of the "folder tab" design of the Z Flip 6 and the Z Flip 7 FE. The Z Flip 7's cover screen has a 948x1,048p resolution, which should mean it provides you with a sharper image than the Z Flip 7 FE's 720x748p cover screen. The Z Flip 7 is a more colorful phone than its "fan edition" counterpart. Screenshot by James Martin/CNET Additionally, the Z Flip 7 has a 6.9-inch internal display, which is marginally larger than the Z Flip 7 FE's 6.7-inch flipped-open screen. In terms of resolution, however, the Z Flip 7 FE screen is slightly higher than the Z Flip7, though in practical terms they're remarkably similar: The Z Flip 7's internal screen has a 2,520x1,080p resolution and the Z Flip 7 FE has a 2,640x1,080p resolution, while both foldables should support a refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The Z Flip 7 may be thinner than the Z Flip 7 FE, but it doesn't lose much in the way of heftiness. The Z Flip 7 weighs 188g while the Z Flip 7 FE weighs 187g, so they should feel fairly similar stowed away in your pockets. The larger cover screen of the Z Flip 7 will make it easier than ever to organize widgets, check notifications and more. But if you plan to use your phone for gaming or watching videos, you're not losing much screen space with the Z Flip 7 FE's internal screen -- both phones should perform fairly similarly in that regard. The three-camera systems of the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE are fairly similar to one another. Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Cameras It's fairly likely that budding photographers won't be giving up anything by choosing the Z Flip 7 FE over the Z Flip 7. Both phones are slated to have a three-camera system, including a 50-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera on the back and a 10-megapixel front-facing internal camera. If you're familiar with Samsung's Z Flip series, you'll recognize that this looks like the same camera system included within 2024's Z Flip 6 model. As far as we know, it has simply been brought forward and integrated into the next generation of Z Flip foldables. With that being said, CNET experts haven't been able to thoroughly test these phones just yet -- while the cameras look the same on paper, it's hard to say just how your pictures will turn out as you snap shots with the Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE. But both foldables support Samsung's Galaxy AI photography features. That means you'll be able to edit and change your pictures on the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE on the fly with features like Sketch to Image, which lets users bring doodles to life in the background of their photographs. The clean white Z Flip 7 FE starts out $200 cheaper than the Z Flip 7, although the hardware isn't as powerful. Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Battery, processor and storage specs Slight differences in the batteries on the Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE will directly translate to how much uptime you get with your phone between charging periods. The Z Flip 7 is powered by a 4,300 mAh battery, which is a 300mAh upgrade from the battery in the Z Flip 6. We expect that owners will be able to put this model through its paces with some more strenuous use and still get a full day of battery life out of it, but we'll know for sure when we can fully test the phone. On the other hand, the Z Flip 7 FE features a 4,000-mAh battery, which appears to be the same size you'd be getting with last year's Z Flip 6 model. Make no mistake about it: You should still be able to eke out a day's worth of activity before needing to charge this phone. But CNET expert Patrick Holland wasn't thrilled with the battery when testing the Z Flip 6, concluding that it was only marginally better than the Galaxy Z Flip 5's battery life, so we would expect similar performance from the Z Flip 7 FE. The only functional difference between the Z Flip 7 and the Z Flip 7 FE in this regard is that 300mAh capacity difference, but most people likely won't actually feel it in their day-to-day lives. If you're constantly filming, video chatting and scrolling through social media at high brightness (or if you're an avid mobile gamer), the Z Flip 7 may let you stay glued to your screen for a bit longer than the Z Flip 7 FE. The other difference between these two foldables lies in their processor specs. The Z Flip 7 is powered by Samsung's own high-end Exynos 2500 chip, while the Z Flip 7 FE has the Exynos 2400. We're assuming the Z Flip 7 will provide slightly better processing power, but more testing will be required to suss out the differences. A similar chip, the Exynos 2400e, in the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE resulted in slightly lower performance than the Samsung Galaxy S24 (running 2023's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip) in our versus testing. Crucially, both phones should have enough memory to support AI tools -- the Z Flip 7 FE is straddling the line with 8GB of RAM -- which is an important benchmark for any new phone right now. The Z Flip 7 comes with 12GB of RAM, so it has stronger support for the integrated AI tools. If storing photos and downloading apps and games is something you do often, the Z Flip 7 has the edge over the Z Flip 7 FE. The Z Flip 7 starts at 256GB of storage with pricier models featuring a fairly large 512GB, whereas the Z Flip 7 FE starts with 128GB of storage and caps out at 256GB of space. The Z Flip 7 model with the least storage capacity matches the Z Flip 7 FE model with the most storage capacity. The Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE both run Android 16. Joe Maldonado/CNET/PCMag Software support and AI When it comes to software support for these two models, you aren't missing out on too much by picking one over the other. Both phones run Android 16, which is an upgrade over the Galaxy Z Flip 6's Android 14 operating system -- a result of Google releasing the newest version of Android months earlier than it typically does. Samsung has committed to shipping updates for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE for seven years after their launch date. That means you can expect the latest in software and security capabilities for both phones until at least 2032. If you're the type of person that will trade your phone in every few years, this probably won't be what sways you toward picking up one of the latest Flip phones. But if you're like me, and you keep using a phone until it's on its last legs, this promise means you'll be in good hands if you choose to upgrade to either the Flip 7 or the Flip 7 FE. If AI features are your make-or-break variable for a new phone purchase in 2025, you won't find that much of a difference between the Flip 7 and the Flip 7 FE in that regard, either. Both phones support the full suite of Galaxy AI tools as well as Google's Gemini assistant -- the Flip 7 FE's 8GB of RAM should ensure that it can operate these tools, while we expect that the Flip 7's 12GB of RAM could let you run a couple more taxing apps in tandem with the AI.
