The best phone I tested in 2023 wasn’t from Apple or Samsung

Motorola Razr+ flex video mode shows off clock with the external display.

A lot of phones came out in 2023, starting with the Samsung Galaxy S23 all the way through to the iPhone 15 and Google Pixel 8. While those phones all have plenty to offer, the best one I tried wasn’t one of the usual annual releases. It was the foldable Motorola Razr+.

But it’s not just that the Razr+’s 3.6-inch cover display is the largest of any foldable flip phone. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5’s is only 0.2 inches smaller, and due to its design has very similar amounts of usable screen space. No, it’s actually down to what Motorola actually lets you do with the outer display that makes it so appealing to me — and made it my favorite phone of the year.
