Phone Comparisons: Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024 Specs

Motorola announced three new Razr smartphones in April 2025. The Motorola Razr 2025 is the base model that the company announced, the most affordable variant. That’s the one that we’ll focus on today, along with its predecessor. In other words, we’ll be comparing the Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024 specs. These two smartphones actually have a lot in common, especially when it comes to their design.

That’s not the only area where there are similarities, you’ll notice the same in the spec department too. Motorola opted not to make many changes this time around, even though the Razr 2025 is more powerful, of course. We’ll kick things off by listing the specs of both of these phones, and will then move to various other categories. That includes their designs, displays, performance, battery life, cameras, and audio output.

Specs

Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Design

You’ll immediately notice that these two phones look very similar. In fact, it’s almost impossible to tell which is which if you just glance at them. They’re so similar that even their bezels are exactly the same thickness. Both of them have a flat main display with a centered display camera hole up top. Both of them fold right down the middle, of course, and even their physical keys are in the same spot on the right-hand side. When unfolded, the power/lock key sits below the volume up and down buttons. It’s the other way around when they’re folded.

The power/lock key on the two devices does double as a fingerprint scanner, as you may have guessed. Their sides are not flat, they’re slightly rounded. Speaking of which, both smartphones have a frame made out of aluminum. They both utilize a silicon polymer (eco leather) backplates. A piece of that silicon polymer is also included above the cover display (when folded).

You’ll notice that the two main cameras are placed inside the cover display. When the phone is unfolded, they sit in the top-left corner, and the LED flash is right next to them. The two phones even have the Motorola logo in the same spot, and the same goes for the ‘razr’ branding on the back. They’re exactly the same when it comes to height, width, and thickness, while they’re practically the same in terms of weight too. The old model is technically 0.4 grams heavier, but that’s not something you can feel when you hold it.

It is worth noting that both are very easy to grip due to their build. The Motorola Razr 2025 comes with an IP48 certification for water resistance, while the older model is IPX8 rated for water resistance.

Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Display

These two phones have the same panels, basically. That goes for both their main and cover displays. The main display on both smartphones is a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED panel, which is foldable. It can project 1 billion colors, and it offers an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. HDR10+ is supported, and the display can get up to 3,000 nits of brightness at its peak. The screen-to-body ratio here is around 85% on both displays. The resolution is 2640 x 1080.

The cover display on both phones is a 3.6-inch unit. This is an AMOLED panel that can project up to 1 billion colors. It offers a 90Hz refresh rate and supports HDR10+ content. The peak brightness here is 1,700 nits at its peak. The resolution is 1066 x 1056 on both phones, and this panel is protected by the Gorilla Glass Victus. That also goes for both cover displays. There’s no difference between them.

You’ll get the exact same experience on these displays. Motorola opted to stick with the same main and cover displays this time around. That’s not exactly a bad thing, as there was nothing wrong with what the Motorola Razr 2024 offered. The displays are vivid and sharp, and have good viewing angles. It would be nice to get a 120Hz refresh rate on the cover panel too, but a 90Hz refresh rate is not a problem, not at all. That cover display is quite small, so… it was not something that bothered us when scrolling or anything like that.

Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024e: Performance

The Motorola Razr 2025 is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor. That is the company’s mid-range chip, and it’s a 4nm processor. It is backed by 8GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 flash storage. In fact, the only storage option is a 256GB model. The Razr 2024, on the other hand, is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor. That is also a 4nm chip, a predecessor to the Dimensity 7400X. That phone also offers 8GB of RAM (LPDDR4X) and 256GB of UFS 2.2 flash storage. And no, the storage is not expandable in either phone.

The Motorola Razr 2024 performance was not exactly great. It was not bad, but it certainly was not great. The phone did pause at times when opening apps, especially resource-heavy apps. It did not happen all the time, but it did happen. The phone also stuttered when jumping between apps and similar actions. Other than that, it was okay. We did not get to test out the Razr 2025 just yet, but we do not expect to see major improvements there.

Why? Well, the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor is basically the same as its predecessor, but with a slightly higher clock speed. Even the GPU that is used here is the exact same. So, unless some major optimizations have been made, we’ll get similar performance out of the device. Don’t get me wrong, the performance is fine, it’s just not top-notch. You can easily play simpler and mid-range games too, but those demanding ones will likely prove to be a problem, as they won’t perform as you’d expect them to. These are certainly not gaming phones.

Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Battery

It’s nice to see that Motorola did not stick with the same battery pack. The company decided to improve things in that area. The Motorola Razr 2025 includes a 4,500mAh battery, while its predecessor comes with a 4,200mAh battery. The Motorola Razr 2024 battery life was… good. It wasn’t outstanding, groundbreaking, or anything like that, but it was good enough for most people. We’re expecting to see an improvement out of its successor, though.

We did not review the Motorola Razr 2025 at this point, but it does offer 300mAh more in terms of battery life, without an increase in display size, nor does it have a more power-hungry chip. So, we do expect to see an improvement, which is nice. Your battery life will, of course, depend on how much you use the main display vs the cover display. That’s always a huge factor when it comes to foldables, of course. Just to give you an idea, the Motorola Razr 2024 offered a notably better battery life than the Galaxy Z Flip 5, for us, but worse than the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

What about charging? Well, the two phones are exactly the same in that regard. They support 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. The Motorola Razr 2024 can reach a full charge in about an hour, while the Razr 2025 will likely take slightly longer, but still around an hour. That’s not bad. It’s not blazing fast, but it’s not bad at all. Do note that neither phone ships with a charger in the box, though. A cable is included, yes, but not a charger itself.

Motorola Razr 2025 vs Motorola Razr 2024: Cameras

These two phones are so similar that even their cameras are the same. You will find a 50-megapixel main camera (1/1.95-inch sensor size) and a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera (1/3.0-inch sensor size, 120-degree FoV) on the back of this phone. Both of those cameras can be used as selfie cameras when the phone is folded, of course.

There’s also a third camera, though, of course, a regular selfie camera on the main display. It’s centered in the form of a display camera hole up top. This is a 32-megapixel snapper (1/3.14-inch sensor size). You’d be better off using the two main cameras, but if you need one for video calls or something, that selfie camera on the main display can do its job just fine.

We presume that the camera performance on the new phone won’t be much different from that on the Razr 2024. Why? Well, they have basically the same chip, not to mention the same camera hardware. In that case, you can expect okay camera performance from the new phone. Just don’t expect flagship-level performance, and you’ll be fine. The colors are good, and the images also end up looking sharp on the Razr 2024. Noise is a part of the experience, though, especially if you use digital zoom.

Audio

Both of these phones come with a set of stereo speakers. The speakers on the Motorola Razr 2024 are really good, and more than loud enough. We’re expecting something similar from the Razr 2025, and based on what we heard initially, it is on the same level.

There is no audio jack on either of these two smartphones. You can, however, use their Type-C ports in order to connect your wired headphones. Alternatively, Bluetooth 5.4 is supported on both devices.
