ICYMI: Flip Phones Are Back — Jump On The Trend With Motorola’s Newest Razr Drop

Vibe check: Are you wearing your lowest rise jeans? Your chunkiest studded belt? Is your hot pink flip phone clipped just so to your front pocket? If you answered yes to any of these, it’s safe to say that you’re living in a nostalgia-soaked early-aughts world of your own making. Yeah, us too.

Here’s the good news — the most iconic era ever is back, baby. And we don’t just mean low slung denim and bucket hats. The final piece of the 2000s puzzle is falling into place: Meet the new and improved motorola razr devices — the motorola razr and motorola razr+.

While the device’s look is giving quintessential Y2K, its tech exists solidly in the future. Keep scrolling for our favorite features that take the razr from the land of DVDs and T9 texting to 2024 — and beyond.

1. A Dynamic External Display

The new razr’s display boasts a customizable screensaver, a built-in Spotify panel that lets you change playlists in an instant, and even an integration with Google’s Gemini app that helps with writing, brainstorming, and more. But our absolute favorite part? The big external screen allows us to check on all the important stuff without getting sucked into the internet void. In other words, it helps us live like it’s 2004 again. Hallelujah.

2. A Multi-Functional Camera

Both phones have a 50 megapixel main camera and a 32 megapixel front camera that snap sharp, detailed images. The cameras are also integrated with AI capabilities that adjust shutter speed and illumination, create artistic light trails, and enhance details even from a distance.

And when you’re ready to record, simply fold the phone and hold it horizontally to enter camcorder mode. How retro is that?

3. A Durable Design

The simplified hinge means you can flick the phone open and shut with one hand (new party trick just dropped). Plus, it has a wide range of Flex View positions — like Tent and Stand Mode — ideal for hands-free video calls or selfies, no tripod necessary. Oh, and it’s got the dust and water protection that our clumsy early-aughts selves could only dream about.

4. A Must-Have Look

We’d be remiss not to mention the razr’s ultimate cool factor: its new look. You can get it in bold colors (yes, including hot pink) and soft vegan leather or suede finishes, and its contoured edges make it an essential accessory for any throwback lewk.

The new motorola razr devices are everything you loved about early 2000s life — the style, the vibes, the ethos — paired with the evolved tech that’s become a necessity of today. BRB, posting about it on our blog.
