The Motorola Razr 60 is undeniably one of the standout smartphones of 2025, thanks to its design and the unique foldable form factor. This cool flip phone will set you back by INR 50,000, and that’s the reason we are taking a closer look at the Moto Razr 60. Because when you are spending that kind of money on a smartphone, you expect a lot more than just folding it in half, right?
So, what else does the Razr 60 bring to the table? Worry not, we will dive into all of that and more in this in-depth Motorola Razr 60 review.

Design
One of the first things everyone wants to know about the Motorola Razr 60 is the crease visibility. Honestly, despite multiple generations, I don’t see creases disappearing from foldables anytime soon. It’s there. But thankfully, when you’re watching videos, it becomes far less noticeable.
Now, for another important detail – the Razr 60 comes with an IP48 rating, which offers a degree of dust resistance. However, having seen countless foldables, I can tell you that no design perfectly prevents dust from finding its way into that fold/crease. On the flip side, that IP48 rating also means it can handle its share of water splashes. Lastly, the haptic feedback is truly great.
Just one crucial tip — if you have the habit of keeping the phone in your bag, ensure that it doesn’t share space with keys and other sharp objects, since the internal and external screens are prone to scratches.
Display
Now, let’s jump to the display. On the hardware front, it’s genuinely impressive. With the Razr 60, you get a big screen real estate with a 6.9-inch pOLED display with a dynamic refresh rate that can scale up to a smooth 120Hz. Now, the real question is, how well does the company utilize this impressive screen?
When it comes to gaming, you are definitely in for a good experience. The display is vibrant, and its tall aspect ratio truly enhances gameplay. However, a slight wrinkle appears with HDR on YouTube. It still seems to lag, likely due to some missing OS optimization.

Unfortunately, it’s the same story with Netflix. Despite the phone supporting HDR and boasting a dazzling 3000 nits peak brightness, you can’t stream HDR content there just yet. It works fine on platforms like Amazon Prime, but Netflix users might be left waiting for a software update. Bummer, I know. As for when that’ll arrive? Your guess is as good as mine.
While the refresh rate technically stretches to 120Hz, in practice, most apps tend to stick around 90Hz. You’ll only find a select few pushing that full 120Hz fluidity. Gaming follows a similar pattern. You can expect 60fps or 90fps, but not more, due to a mix of software and some hardware limitations.
And when it comes to the Motorola Razr 60, we have to talk about the display twice! The incredibly useful external screen has a peak brightness of 1700 nits, and it works remarkably well. So, whether you are battling harsh sunlight or lounging in the shade, the sunlight legibility is spot on.
You can quickly snap photos, glance at widgets, or change wallpapers, without struggling to find what’s on the screen. However, if you have the habit of unfolding the phone frequently, then relying on that outer screen might not be the most practical approach.
If you ask me, this phone makes sense for you only if you will genuinely use the secondary screen.
Audio and Speakers
On the audio front, you’ll be glad to know it supports Dolby Atmos. However, it lacks the traditional 3.5mm headphone jack. The razr 60 is simply too sleek to house a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Moving on, the stereo speakers are quite impressive. And if you are planning to watch a movie in a quiet room, you will even catch a hint of bass. Though if you ask me, it could have been more pronounced.
That said, loudness levels are acceptable, but push the volume too high and you might notice the sound starting to crackle a bit, which is a bit disappointing, especially at this price point.
Camera Performance
Alright, let’s talk cameras now. Frankly, that front camera seems to just take photos almost like an afterthought. Okay, I may have exaggerated a bit here. That said, the front camera is there more for video calls than anything else. On the upside, your main camera effectively doubles as your selfie shooter, and that’s usually where the magic happens with these phones.
When it comes to the Motorola Razr 60’s camera performance, you will probably notice the colors and saturation feel a bit on the upper side. In fact, in some instances, I also caught a bit of aggressive over-sharpening. While the color reproduction is undeniably vibrant and punchy, there’s a pretty clear shift in exposure and color when you switch to the ultrawide lens from the primary lens.
That said, the ultrawide camera delivers decent results. But if you ask me, at this price point, you would rightfully expect a more refined overall camera performance. Portraits are fine, though skin tones could definitely use some improvement, and edge detection still feels like it’s a work in progress.
Plus, portrait shots can take a moment to process, and sometimes come out a bit hazy despite the wait.
As for night photos, expect some noticeable noise in very low-light conditions. And if there’s a strong light source in the background, you’ll likely see an unnatural glow around it.
When it comes to videos, you’re capped at 4K 30fps instead of at 4K 60fps, which is quite a bummer at this price point.
At the same time, videos are also quite highly saturated for my liking. And while the stabilization is decent, there’s certainly room for improvement. At the same time, there’s a ‘camcorder mode,’ which feels a little gimmicky; you’re essentially just holding the phone sideways.
Battery Life
Now, let’s quickly chat about the battery. The Motorola Razr 60 packs a 4,500mAh battery and is paired with 33W wired charging. If you ask me, it really should be at least 45W. I’m not even asking for the crazy 90W or 100W speeds we see elsewhere, but a solid 45W would have meant getting a decent charge in just 30 minutes. As it stands, you’re looking at around an hour for a full top-up.
If you are someone like me, who uses the phone for pretty much everything, you’ll likely find yourself needing to charge this phone twice a day. The good news is, the built-in wireless charging makes it super convenient to just plop it down on your office desk for a quick refuel. For lighter users, a morning charge should get you through most of the day, with perhaps a quick top-up once you are back home.
All things considered, the battery life isn’t exactly groundbreaking. However, we have to acknowledge that fitting a substantial battery into this kind of unique foldable form factor is truly a challenge in itself.
Performance
Finally, let’s talk performance, and this is where the phone arguably starts to show its limitations. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X SoC, which is only a modest 10%–15% upgrade over the Dimensity 7300. The biggest problem? This particular chipset feels slightly underpowered for a phone at this price point.
The performance, while functional, is ultimately underwhelming given the overall investment, largely due to the compromises made for the phone’s innovative form factor.
That said, it’s not all bad. The performance is decent enough for everyday tasks. You can absolutely enjoy gaming at a respectable 60fps–90fps. However, because the phone is so slim, heat dissipation isn’t its strong suit, so you’ll definitely notice it warming up during more demanding sessions.
To put it simply, the Motorola Razr 60 isn’t for hardcore gamers. Instead, this premium smartphone is designed for lifestyle users and those who prioritize a genuinely stylish phone that effortlessly stands out in a sea of similar-looking devices.
Verdict
So, should you buy the Motorola Razr 60? You will be shelling out roughly INR 50,000 for this phone, and let’s be clear – a good 25K is purely for the folding mechanism. If your absolute top priority is a compact smartphone (see world’s slimmest smartphone) that slips effortlessly into your back pocket or a small purse, then yes, this device is a fantastic choice.
However, a crucial point to remember is that this phone is absolutely not for performance-oriented users, since it’s less of a pure tech powerhouse and more of a lifestyle product.
So, this concludes our Motorola Razr 60 review. Don’t go into this expecting groundbreaking specs. Think of those as merely bonus perks layered on top of that unique, head-turning foldable form factor.
