Motorola's best flip foldable is now at its lowest ever price — here's why you need to take advantage of this deal

Foldable phones are enticing pieces of tech, but come with some big drawbacks. Their cost compared to regular phones is obviously one, as is their shorter-than-average battery life due to limited interior space. But fortunately, a deal has just popped up that addresses both of those issues.

That deal is the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025, which is on sale at Amazon for $799 — a $500 discount and the lowest price we've ever seen for the phone. It's definitely one of the best Presidents' Day deals we've spotted so far.

Amazon's offer applies to all four Pantone-approved colors offered with the Moto Razr Ultra: Scarab green, Mountain Trail brown, Rio Red and Cabaret pink. And don't worry about choosing the wrong spec — there's only one to pick, with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.

However, if you buy from Motorola directly, you can get more for your money in two ways. First, you can get a free upgrade to the 1TB model, doubling your storage for no extra cost. And second, you get free Moto Buds Plus earbuds thrown in, which Moto normally sells for $199. Quite the bundle if you want as much storage as possible and some new wireless earbuds as well as a cool new folding phone.

The cost advantage of buying the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 with this deal is obvious, but what about the battery life problem? Well, in the case of the Razr Ultra, there isn't one.

Its 4,700 mAh battery capacity is far larger than rival devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, and as a result, has surprisingly good longevity. The Razr Ultra 2025 is in fact the only foldable phone to ever make it onto our best phone battery life guide, which means it beats a huge number of regular, non-folding phones in spite of its disadvantages. And when the battery finally drains, you can fill it up quickly with your choice of 68W wired or 30W wireless charging.

I'll not sell the phone short though — battery life is only the start of the Razr Ultra's benefits. Its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, coupled with 16GB RAM, means it's got flagship-grade power on par with any of the best Android phones from last year, unlike the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with its subpar Exynos chip.

The Razr's 7-inch inner pOLED display is a touch larger and smoother than rival flip foldables, while its 165Hz refresh rate on both the inner screen and the 4-inch outer display means it's smoother than other foldables too. Motorola is also happy to let users operate full versions of their apps on the cover screen for easy access without opening the phone. Samsung meanwhile, only offers cover screen support for select apps, and even then only in the form of widgets with limited functionality.

I'll not hide the uglier sides of the Razr, though. It is only slated to receive three years of software support compared to Samsung's seven, which could impact your decision depending on how long you want to keep your next phone going for. Plus, we don't always like how the Moto's cameras performed, particularly in low light. I don't know if that's a deal breaker for you, but overall, I can't recommend the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 enough, especially at this price.
