There's a ton of debate centered around how, and whether, you should carry your phone with you while working out. Some people prefer to leave their favorite Android smartphone at home while running, hiking, and cycling. Others use an armband or a fancy hip belt, and a bunch do things the old fashioned way by using their hand or pockets to bring a phone along.
As a runner with a thousand-plus miles tracked with either a smartwatch or smartphone, I haven't found any of these options to be particularly satisfying. That is, until I started testing the Motorola Razr 2025 — a clamshell foldable that's half the height of a normal Android smartphone when closed. Suddenly, holding a phone that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand isn't so bad on a long run.
