Motorola Razr 2024 — 20 years later, is the flip phone cool again?

Motorola Razr V3 next to Motorola Razr Plus 2024.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since the launch of the original Razr V3. I’ve been around long enough that I remember putting that sliver of a device on the cover of Laptop Mag way back in 2004. That’s how long it’s been since Motorola reinvented the flip phone with the world’s thinnest design. 

Now the company is trying to make flip phones cool again with the launch of the Razr 2024 and Razr Plus 2024. For just $699, the regular Razr boasts a pretty big 3.6-inch cover display, a grippy vegan leather design in fun colors and faster charging. Meanwhile, the Razr Plus 2024 ($999) gets the biggest cover screen yet on a flip foldable at 4 inches, a telephoto zoom and a beefier Snapdragon 8s Plus Gen 3 chip.
