The ordinary 2025 razr makes an unusually good case for a second screen. When the phone is closed, the display sits beside the rear cameras so the person in a picture can see the framing. Unfold it and the same device becomes a tall 6.9-inch phone for typing.

Display & Design

3.6-inch outer pOLED
6.9-inch inner pOLED
188 g

The small outer panel is useful for short tasks before the phone becomes a distraction. Open it for a full paragraph or a long reply. Folding cuts the phone’s height to roughly 88 mm, but stacks its two halves to almost 16 mm thick. The pocket saves height at the expense of depth.

Cameras

50 MP main
13 MP ultrawide with macro

Set the partly open phone on a stable surface and use the rear camera for a group picture. Nobody has to stretch an arm toward the center of the frame. For distant subjects these are still wide-angle lenses, so there is no optical telephoto alternative to moving closer.

Performance & Storage

Dimensity 7400X
8 GB RAM
256 GB storage

Tom’s Guide saw only about a 3% increase in both single- and multicore Geekbench scores over the 2024 razr. Its reviewer observed some stutter as PUBG Mobile scenes loaded, while a simpler side-scrolling game played well. ¹ The fold and the cover screen are stronger reasons to buy than a generational jump in gaming.

Battery & Charging

4,500 mAh
30 W wired
15 W wireless

The wireless option is convenient on a desk, especially when using the small display to check incoming calls. A compatible cable and adapter permit a higher charging rate. If you are doubling the phone as your primary navigation device, take a cable rather than relying on its capacity rating to predict runtime.

Alternatives

The 2025 Ultra increases the cover display to 4 inches and uses a Snapdragon 8 Elite. Compare it if demanding games are part of the reason to switch. If you already have the standard 2024 razr and like its folded size, the measured processor difference is a weak incentive on its own.

Verdict

Buy the base razr for a shorter folded phone that can handle a few jobs while closed. A buyer who wants every task, including intensive games, to run on the large screen has less reason to accept a hinge and the thicker folded body.
