In recent years, companies such as Motorola and Samsung have embarked on a mission to breathe new life into the classic flip phone design. Their endeavors aimed to blend nostalgia with modern functionality, sparking a resurgence of interest in this iconic form factor. Among the latest contenders in this revival is the 2023 Razr Plus, standing out as a prime example of successful execution.
Its $1,000 price. But ahead of Black Friday, Amazon has marked the 2023 Razr Plus down to $700, knocking $300 off its regular price. That’s significant because foldable phones don’t come cheap; most worthwhile options cost upwards of $1,000.
What makes the Razr Plus stand out from previous flip phones is its large external display, which measures 3.6 inches. While you’ll still want to open the Razr Plus for most tasks, having that roomy front screen makes it possible to run full apps like TikTok and Spotify from the palm of your hand.
The Razr Plus’ bendable design also means it essentially has a built-in kickstand for taking photos hands free, along with some other camera tricks. That large front screen, for example, can also show previews of photos before you hit the shutter button.
