The soon-to-be-released Motorola Razr Plus flip phone is already $100 off

Many smartphones are impressive, but few stand out like the Motorola Razr Plus. Arriving in bright, poolside colors like hot pink, green, and blue, the new flip phone is as much fun to use as it is to admire, and is currently on sale. Priced at $999.99, you can preorder an unlocked Razr Plus with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $899.99 ($100 off) from Amazon and Best Buy ahead of its release date of July 24th.

As The Verge’s smartphone reviewer Allison Johnson wrote in her review, few phones are as delightful as the Razr Plus. That’s largely because of its upgraded cover screen, which now measures four inches — much bigger than its predecessor and the 3.4-inch external screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 — and is even more customizable. It also sports an impressive always-on display, along with Google Assistant and Gemini. Motorola’s even thrown in a turntable background option for the media controls, which make the phone a genuine joy to play with.

Aside from an impressive cover screen, the Razr Plus also has other things going for it, like a decent 6.9-inch inner display and good performance. For a flip phone, it’s also got excellent battery life, and is now far more durable than before with an IPX8 ratings for full resistance against water immersion. It is worth pointing out that this may not be the phone for you if you’re looking for an excellent camera system — it takes decent photos, but you can get a much better camera in cheaper slab-style phones. However, if you’re a flip phone enthusiast, the cover screen alone might make it worth the purchase, as few can rival it.
