It’s rare to feel delighted by a phone in 2024, but that’s the Motorola Razr Plus, baby.
Sure, phones are amazing little computers. For $999, which is what the Razr Plus costs, they should be. But they’re mature products — tools rather than objects of delight — and for the most part, they’ve blended into the background noise of our lives. But the Razr Plus is different, and not just because it folds in half.
I’ll give you an example: one of the background options for the media controls on the cover screen is a turntable. When music is playing, the record spins with one of the camera cutouts at the center. Press pause and the needle will lift off the record and stop. Are you kidding me? That’s adorable.
