The Motorola Razr 60 isn’t just another smartphone—it’s a fashion-forward lifestyle statement that also happens to make calls. Priced at ₹49,999, this flip phone blends nostalgic charm with modern functionality, albeit with a few compromises. What truly sets it apart is its expansive 3.6-inch cover display—a feature that elevates it beyond a mere conversation starter into something genuinely practical. But do its premium build, clever AI features, and foldable form factor justify the price in a market saturated with conventional slab phones??
Design & Display: Pocket-Sized Versatility with a Purpose
The Razr 60’s highlight is its large 3.6-inch AMOLED cover screen, which redefines what a flip phone can offer. Unlike competitors that treat outer displays as secondary, Motorola delivers what feels like a fully functional mini-smartphone on the outside. Reply to messages with a full keyboard, check Instagram, play games, navigate via Google Maps, or query motoAI—all without unfolding the device. This transforms the Razr 60 from novelty to legitimate tool.
When flipped open, the 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED inner display (120Hz, 3000 nits peak brightness) impresses with vibrant colors and fluid scrolling. The LTPO tech dynamically adjusts refresh rates based on content, conserving battery without compromising user experience. The fold crease is barely noticeable when watching videos or scrolling through social media, and it’s almost imperceptible to the touch—an impressive refinement.
Motorola has also nailed the hinge design, reinforced with titanium and rated for 500,000 folds. It enables Flex View modes like Tent Mode for hands-free video calls, Camcorder Mode for steady recording, and Laptop Mode for easier typing. These thoughtful touches make the Razr 60 more versatile than any standard candy-bar phone.
Visually, the Razr 60 stands out. Our Pantone Gibraltar Sea review unit showcased a refined fabric back that felt premium yet understated. The IP48 rating resists dust and splashes, while Gorilla Glass Victus protects the outer display. The hinge closes with a crisp, confident snap—no creaks or wobble in sight.
Camera Performance: AI-Assisted & Social-Ready
Camera is where the Razr 60 pleasantly surprises. The 50MP main sensor (OIS) captures well-balanced shots in good light, while the 13MP ultrawide handles landscapes and macros competently. Low-light performance, while not flagship-grade, remains serviceable. The 32MP front camera feels redundant—why use it when you can take selfies with the superior rear cameras via the cover screen?
Motorola’s AI-powered enhancements, like Auto Smile Capture, Scene-Aware Tuning and adaptive stabilization, add polish to photos and videos. The gesture-based recording (raise your palm to click photo or start video recording, make a fist to stop) make content creation fun and functional. The Flex View orientation transform this flip phone into a quirky, hands-free camera setup — perfect for creative users and vloggers.
Performance & Software: Smooth for Most, But Not for All
Under the hood, the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X—specially tuned for dual-screen form factors—is paired with 8GB of RAM, delivering consistently smooth performance. Day-to-day tasks like app switching, social media browsing, and light productivity feel fluid and snappy. Even casual gaming runs without noticeable stutter, making the Razr 60 surprisingly capable for a flip phone in this price segment.
In synthetic benchmarks, the Razr 60 puts up respectable numbers:
- AnTuTu: 581,365 points — indicating solid all-around performance.
- Geekbench 6 CPU (multi-core): 2,355 — aligning it with mid-premium smartphones.
- 3DMark Wild Life: 3,658 — suggesting decent graphical handling for moderate gaming and visual tasks.
These scores reinforce the phone’s tuned-for-purpose optimization, where the Dimensity 7400X prioritizes efficient performance across both screens without compromising fluidity or draining power. However, the UFS 2.2 storage is a puzzling choice at this mid-range price. While not a dealbreaker for casual users, it introduces noticeable slowdowns in scenarios. This corner-cut becomes evident during large file transfers, 4K video recording, or heavy app installations. Compared to rivals in this price-point packing UFS 3.1, the slower read/write speeds could make the phone feel slower for power users.
That said, Motorola offsets this with the motoAI 2.0 experience and near-stock Android 15. AI Features like “Update Me” for notification summaries, Next Move suggestions, Pay Attention for live transcriptions, and contextual smart actions enhance usability, especially when paired with the cover display. Motorola promises 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches, which makes razr 60 future-ready.
Battery & Charging: A Reliable Daily Driver
The 4,500mAh battery is one of the Razr 60’s strongest suits. Despite powering two displays, it comfortably lasts from morning to evening with moderate use. This endurance stems not just from the efficient Dimensity 7400X and LTPO screen, but also from the cover display’s practicality—you often don’t need to open the phone at all. Tasks like messaging, notifications, or even short video viewing are easily handled on the outer screen, reducing main screen usage and conserving battery life.
Charging flexibility is another plus. The Razr 60 supports 30W wired and 15W wireless charging, and ships with a 33W wired charger in the box. It takes about 60 minutes to go from 15% to full—fast enough for overnight charging or a top-up during your coffee break.
Verdict: Style Meets Substance
The Motorola Razr 60 gets so much right: a bold and useful cover display, sturdy hinge design, playful camera features, respectable performance, and a price tag that undercuts many of its foldable rivals. Its Achilles’ heel—UFS 2.2 storage—matters less for casual users than spec enthusiasts. So, for the majority of users looking to experience foldable innovation without breaking the bank, it’s a trade-off worth making.
If you’re not chasing benchmark scores but want a versatile, stylish, and future-forward flip phone, the Motorola Razr 60 is easily the best sub-₹50K foldable you can buy right now.
