The 'fun and powerful' Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) is now $600 off at Best Buy

Best Buy isn't waiting for Black Friday, so why should you?

The 'fun and powerful' Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) is now $600 off at Best Buy

Best Buy is offering a massive $600 discount on the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025), a powerful flip phone that has recently become available for under $700. This early Black Friday deal, which requires no trade-in or additional strings attached, brings to light the Razr Ultra's impressive features. Despite being over a year old, the 2025 model still boasts a striking design, equipped with two high-quality pOLED displays, a titanium-reinforced hinge, and advanced camera technology.

Under the hood, the smartphone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with 16GB of RAM, ensuring strong performance that rivals even the best flip phones currently on the market. Its 4,700mAh battery surpasses the capacity found in newer competitors, ensuring longer usage per charge. Nevertheless, the Razr Ultra (2025) has its limitations.

In terms of software, Motorola has only committed to three OS updates and four years of security updates, meaning the device will only receive updates up to Android 18. This falls short of the seven-year software commitment made by other smartphone manufacturers. Additionally, the Razr Ultra's launch price of $1,300 has since dropped significantly, making it an attractive option at the current $600 discount from Best Buy.
