One year after the revitalization of Motorola’s most iconic phone, the company has released the Razr+ – the 2024 edition. This flip-style foldable knocks it out of the park in almost every aspect while maintaining one of the best foldable price points in 2024.

      I have a Verizon Razr+ 2023 (on an MVNO), and it’s now running Android 14.

      Ask your service provider why they are holding back updates.

      Edit: 14 fixed one of my annoying issues with this phone; the outer screen did not play nice with certain keyboards (I like Unexpected Keyboard). Now you can choose different keyboards for each screen.

          My bad. Well, obviously Motorola has 14 configured and available for this device, so I don’t know what to tell you.

          Luckily, my gov’t now forces providers to un-network-lock devices after a certain waiting period (60 days?), and the bootloader seems to be unlockable! I’m not feeling like a slave, just paying more for the phone than what I signed up for.

          Edit: I’ll always trust Motorola over, say, Samsung, where the Galaxy S-whatever (US version) and the same name device (International version) even have a completely different processor!

    Meh, I was never more tempted to buy one than when they actually looked like the old razr too. The 2019 model had that little ridge at the bottom, it looked nice! Or at the very least different.

    I’m tried of everything looking nigh exactly the same, did we just give up on design after the iphone 6?

    Ive been burned took many times by hardware manufacturers not supporting their devices. I loved my Sony XA2, but they freaking tanked that thing.

    I want to support Motorola, but if this thing is going to either stagnate or lost features on update then I can’t justify it.
