Motorola's Latest Devices: A Glimpse into the Future of Smartphones

The latest addition to Motorola's lineup is a device that has garnered attention for its innovative design and feature-packed capabilities. With the launch of the Razer Plus and the regular Razor, Motorola is pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a smartphone.

One of the standout features of these devices is their new hinge mechanism. The Razer Plus has a smaller hinge compared to its predecessor, which not only reduces the screen's crease but also makes it easier to open and close. This design change is a major upgrade over traditional smartphones, where the screen often suffers from a noticeable crease due to the opening and closing motion. The internal screen on both devices is brighter, with the Razer Plus' reaching an impressive 3,000 nits. This increased brightness will be particularly beneficial when using these phones outdoors.

The cover screens on both devices have also seen significant improvements. The Razer Plus boasts a larger 4-inch cover screen, while the regular Razor features a smaller but still impressive 3.6-inch screen. One notable difference between the two is the presence of a tiny strip of vegan leather across the top of the regular Razor's cover screen. While it may seem like a small detail, this attention to design will surely be appreciated by those who value the aesthetics of their device.

In terms of software and interface, Motorola has made some exciting updates. The Razer Plus now features a new all-panels view that can be accessed by pinching and swiping. This allows users to access any Android app on the device with ease. Additionally, the cover screen features two cameras, which are likely to appeal to those who enjoy taking photos of their surroundings.

The main camera on both devices has also seen an upgrade, with a new larger sensor featuring 50 megapixels. The regular Razor still retains its 13-megapixel Ultra Wide camera from last year, but the Razer Plus swaps it out for a new 2x telephoto camera. Motorola explained that this change was made in response to user behavior, as they found that their users preferred taking photos with the telephoto lens over the Ultra Wide lens.

Rounding out each device is its respective chip and battery. The Razer Plus runs on the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and features a 4,000mAh battery that supports fast charging and wireless charging capabilities. In contrast, the regular Razor is powered by the Mediatek Dominity 7300X chip and boasts a 4200mAh battery with similar fast charging capabilities.

One of the most exciting announcements from Motorola was the introduction of Moto AI, which will be available on both devices. This AI technology allows for features like "Catch Me Up," which summarizes notifications and communications, as well as recording and transcribing conversations. Additionally, there's a feature called "Style Sync" that generates an original wallpaper based on what you're wearing.

The Razer Plus also comes with Google Gemini built-in, which can be accessed entirely by the cover screen. This means users can quickly access Google services without needing to open the main app. Furthermore, the device will receive three months of free Gemini Advantage with the purchase of the phone.

Motorola has also announced a new accessory called the Moto Tag, which is compatible with all Android phones that have Bluetooth and supports Ultra Wideband technology. This device features a built-in button that can be pressed to locate your phone, as well as serve as a remote shutter button for taking photos.

Finally, Motorola hinted at the pricing of these devices, stating that they would be comparably priced to other Bluetooth trackers sold today. The new Motorola Razer Plus will be available for pre-order on July 10th at T-Mobile, AT&T, and on Motorola's website, as well as Amazon and Best Buy. The regular Razor will also be available for pre-order on July 10th, but will only be available unlocked on Amazon, Best Buy, and Motorola on July 24th.

Overall, these new devices from Motorola showcase the company's commitment to innovation and design. With their sleek designs, feature-packed capabilities, and exciting software updates, it's clear that Motorola is pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a smartphone. Whether you're in the market for a new device or just interested in staying up-to-date on the latest smartphone trends, these devices are certainly worth keeping an eye on.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the brand new Motorola Razer and this the new Razer plus they are joined by Moto AI Google Gemini and the Moto tag a Nifty new Bluetooth tracker for Android let's break it all down so Motorola announced this new 2024 Razer family and like last year we get two the $700 motor Rola Razer and the $1,000 Razer plus now there are actually a number of improvements they both share but let's start with the design and I think the biggest part of Motorola's announcements is that these phones are meant to be fun in a world of phones with drab titanium colors blacks and Grays each razor comes in a rainbow of color options that are as fun to look at as they are to hold and the big news on this front is that the new Razer plus now comes in pink a direct call back to the original Razer V3 flip phone that was available in pink you know the one that Paris Hilton had in fact the phones themselves forgo the glass back slabs we expect on other devices and have similar vegan leather backs that we saw last year but this time in a variety of faux leather textures and even a faux suede the stripe on the back of the two-tone midnight navy Razer plus really catches my eye motor really wants these phones to be as fashionable as they are Innovative in terms of design and speaking of innovation both the Razer and the Razer Plus have a new hinge that's 30% smaller than last year now the benefits of having a small hinge is that there's less moving parts and less places for dust to get in the new hinge in design is rated ipx8 for water resistance meaning it could be submerged underwater for 30 minutes putting it on par with Samsung Galaxy Z flip another benefit of the smaller hinge is that the screen crease is reduced oh it's still there but it's less visible and I noticed that the phone is even easier to open and close the internal screen on both phones is brighter and can get up to 3,000 nits which should be helpful when Outdoors both the internal and cover screens on both phones now have Motorola's new water touch technology that allows the phone to respond to every tap touch and swipe even when using the phone in the rain kind of like we saw on the OnePlus 12 and the Razer Plus's internal screen has a refresh rate that tops out of 165 HZ whereas the regular razor screen can go up to 120 HZ and that's still pretty impressive perhaps the biggest literal changes are the cover screens on each phone the Razer plus now has a large 4in cover screen while the regular razor inherits the 2023 Razer Plus's 3.6 in screen at the briefing I attended it's hard to tell the difference between the two phones from just the cover screen but one clue is that the regular razor has a tiny strip of vegan leather across the top the cover screen and software and interface has been upgraded too you can open any Android app on it and there are new software panels that are easier to navigate including a new all panels view which you trigger by pinching and swiping also on on the cover screen are two cameras now the main camera on both phones has a new larger sensor with 50 megapixels and the regular razor still has the same 13 megapixel Ultra wide camera from last year but the Razer plus swaps out last year's Ultra wide camera for a new 2x telephoto camera motorol told me that the reasoning behind the switch was that they found their users took more zoomed in photos than they did ultrawide ones now personally I like both telephoto and Ultra wide lenses and it would be hard for me to choose one over the other but I probably lean towards having a telephoto lens instead of an ultra wide one but how about you if you had to pick between having a phone with a second camera on the back would you want it to be a telephoto or ultrawide let me know in the comments now rounding out each device the Razer plus runs on a Snapdragon 8s gen 3 chip and has a 4,000 mAh battery that supports 45 wat wired charging and 15w wireless charging including support for 5 W reverse wireless charging by contrast the regular razor runs on a mediatech dominity 7300 X chip and has a 4200 mAh battery and supports 30 W wire charging and 15w wireless charging and now let's talk AI the Razer plus runs Moto AI which is done both on device and in the cloud and can offer features like catch me up to summarize notifications and Communications pay attention where it will record and transcribe a conversation when requested and and a feature called style sync that takes a photo of what you're wearing and generates an original wallpaper for your phone that matches or complement it which seems fun again that word the razor plus will come with Google Gemini built in and can be accessed entirely by the cover screen if you need it uh you also get 3 months free Gemini Advan with the purchase of the phone adding to the fun of these phones are cases with straps that can be swapped out worn across the body or just show off more of your personality perhaps one of the most surprising things that Motorola is announcing is the Moto tag which actually got an audible gasp from the handful of reporters in my briefing it works on Google's find my device Network and is compatible with all Android phones with Bluetooth and supports Ultra wideband the Moto tag has a built button that you can press to locate your phone and that same button can be used as a remote shutter button to take a photo again another fun feature Motorola didn't share any details about the pricing but hinted that it would be comparably priced
