- Razr Ultra (2025) $999: Motorola’s new high-end flip phone is 30% off ($300 discount) at Amazon and Best Buy [1]. Our reviewer lauded its design (a real wood back panel) and “best software for foldables,” and notes the large outer screen makes it easy to check notifications without unfolding [2].
- Razr (2024) just $350: The last-gen Razr (256GB, 8GB RAM) is half-price (50% off, ~$349.99) on Amazon and Best Buy [3]. That $350 savings on the $699.99 model makes this “mid-range foldable” incredibly affordable [4], especially compared to any Samsung flip phone.
- Razr+ (2024) bundle – save $700: Motorola’s 2024 flagship Razr+ drops $300 (from $999 to $699.99) and comes with free Moto Watch Fit and Moto Buds+ (together worth $399.98) [5]. In total you get nearly $700 in savings – easily one of the year’s best flip-phone deals [6]. This bundle has returned in early Oct 2025 after selling out last month.
- Razr (2025) budget flip now $171 off: Amazon is offering the 2025 Razr (in Lightest Sky) at its lowest price ever – $171 (24%) off, down to around $528 [7]. Earlier deals never exceeded a $100 discount, so this is a standout deal for a flip phone with two vibrant OLED screens (3.6″ cover, 6.9″ main) [8].
- Razr+ (2025) under $615: The Snapdragon-8s Gen3 Razr Plus (2025) has plunged to its cheapest price to date. A Hot Pink variant is now under $615 (about $387 off its $1000 retail) [9]. Despite Amazon listing it as only $87 off (they arbitrarily marked MSRP down to $700), PhoneArena notes the real saving is $387 – “the best deal we’ve ever seen on this phone” [10].
- Foldable market surge: These deals come as Motorola leads the foldable-phone market. Counterpoint Research reports Motorola’s Razr series shot its global foldable share from 14% to 28% year-over-year [11]. Senior analyst Maurice Klaehne credits Motorola’s $699 base pricing for making its Razr “the lowest-cost foldable phone in the US” – a strategy he calls “a big success factor” in reviving foldable sales [12] [13].
Motorola’s Foldable Phone Lineup and Price Crash
Motorola has been aggressively expanding its Razr foldable lineup, and retailers have matched that with steep discounts. The Razr Ultra (2025) is the top-end model, featuring a 6.9″ 1224p inner display, a full-cover 4.0″ outer AMOLED screen, a wood-accented design, IP48 water resistance, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU [14]. A recent Verge report confirms it’s on sale for $999.99 (down $300) at Amazon and Best Buy [15]. The Verge’s Brandt Ranj notes, “our reviewer praised its design (the wooden back panel has a layer of actual wood),” and that Motorola still offers the “best software for foldables” – a big plus for user experience [16]. In other words, you get a flagship-quality flip phone for a much lower price than its MSRP of ~$1300.
Even the mid-tier Razr+ (2025) is deeply discounted. Normally $999.99, it’s now $699.99 (a full $300 off) at Best Buy – and Amazon’s briefly dropped it to ~$819 (about $180 off) [17]. PhoneArena reports that at this price it “feels pretty right” for the Razr+ (2025), which offers 12GB RAM, 256GB storage, 4.0″ outer screen and the same 6.9″ inner panel (both 165Hz LTPO AMOLED) [18]. The Razr+’s triple camera system (50+50MP rear, 32MP selfie) and 4000 mAh battery match the Ultra except for a slightly lower spec main chip (8s Gen3 instead of 8 Elite) [19] [20].
Last year’s models are even better bargains. The Razr+ (2024) is back in a killer Motorola bundle: you pay $699.99 (30% off the $999 MSRP) and get a free Moto Watch Fit and Moto Buds+ (nearly $400 worth) included [21]. Polina Kovalakova of PhoneArena explains that “the Razr+ (2024) remains among the best Z Flip alternatives,” especially now with the free accessories. The phone itself has a gorgeous 6.9″ 165Hz OLED display, a 4.0″ cover screen, and the same Snapdragon 8s Gen3 chipset as the 2025 model [22]. Factoring in the $300 discount and free watch/earbuds bundle ($699.99 after markdown, $0 for extras), you’re saving roughly $700 in total – arguably the “best Motorola flip phone deal we’ve seen this year” [23].
Similarly, the base Razr (2024) (8GB RAM, 256GB, MediaTek Dimensity 7300X) is half off on Amazon/BestBuy – only about $349.99 [24]. PhoneArena calls this “never-before-seen,” noting that both retailers are clearing out the Koala Gray color variant at this 50% discount [25]. That $350 markdown off the $699.99 list “beats what Amazon Prime members were able to save” on Prime Day [26]. The Razr (2024) isn’t as powerful as the latest Samsung or Motorola flagships, but it still delivers a 6.9″ 144Hz foldable AMOLED, a 4″ secondary screen, 4200 mAh battery, and 50+13MP cameras – an impressive spec sheet for under $350 [27] [28].
Finally, even the Razr (2025) budget flip (successor to the 2024 MediaTek model) has been cut to record lows. Ahead of Prime Day, Amazon slashed the Lightest Sky model by $171 (24%) [29] – the deepest cut it’s ever seen. Now it’s essentially about $528. Kovalakova notes that previous promos never exceeded $100 off, so this 24% deal is extraordinary [30]. This entry-level Razr still packs two bright OLED screens (3.6″ cover, 6.9″ main) and a 50MP main camera, making it “a no-brainer for flip phone fans on a budget” now that it’s cheaper than ever [31] [32].
Why Tech Experts Are Excited
Analysts agree that Motorola’s pricing strategy is reigniting the foldable market. Counterpoint Research reports foldable shipments jumped 45% year-over-year in Q2 2025, largely thanks to Motorola’s new Razr models [33]. In particular, Counterpoint notes “strong demand for Motorola’s latest Razr 60 series clamshells” drove U.S. and China market momentum [34]. Maurice Klaehne, senior analyst at Counterpoint, explicitly credits Motorola’s $699 base price (for the Razr 60) as “a big success factor,” saying it made the Razr “the lowest-cost foldable phone in the US – nobody has yet come close” [35]. In practical terms, Motorola has surged to 28% of the global foldable market (up from 14% a year earlier) [36]. This means Razr sales have helped Motorola become the #2 smartphone brand in the US (by some reports) – mostly on the strength of its flip phones.
In the words of Tom’s Guide deals writer John Velasco, this pricing trend makes now “the time to finally upgrade to a foldable phone” [37]. He reminds readers that foldables used to be “niche gadgets saddled with outrageous prices,” but competition (and deals like these) has dramatically lowered costs [38]. In other words, any lingering objections about cost or practicality are fading. Even tech reviewers are enthusiastic: TechRadar’s Philip Berne writes that the Razr Ultra 2025 “actually delivers” and is “easily the most stylish phone out there” [39]. He praises its “zippy performance, stellar battery life,” and calls its big cover display “astonishing,” saying it “seals the deal, making this phone more than the sum of its undeniably snazzy parts” [40].
Motorola’s success has put pressure on competitors. PhoneArena notes that at these prices, no Samsung clamshell comes close – the Galaxy Z Flip 7 won’t even go under $700 [41]. Huawei and others in China are also stepping up with foldables, but Motorola’s combination of premium features and aggressive pricing currently lead the pack.
What to Expect Next
With October’s Prime Day (and in Europe, the “Big Deal Days”) having come and gone, these Razr deals might disappear at any time. Many are limited to specific colors or require acting fast. But the trend is clear: foldable phones are finally reaching mass-market price points. Industry watchers expect foldables to keep growing (some forecasts predict another surge in 2026) as designs become sleeker and prices keep falling [42] [43]. For consumers, that means any hesitations about durability or value should take a back seat to the value on offer right now. As Velasco summarizes, “now’s the time” – and Motorola’s Razr line is leading the charge [44] [45].
