Razr Plus vs. Razr 2023 vs. Razr 2020: How Motorola’s Flip Phone Has Changed

After staging a comeback in 2019, we explore how Motorola’s iconic Razr flip phone has changed over the years.

Motorola is back with a bang, unveiling a duo of Razr flip phones on June 1 after skipping a Razr release in 2021. The Razr Plus launches on June 23 for $1,000, while the regular Razr is set to arrive later this year for a price that Motorola says will be significantly less than its sibling.

Of the two phones, the Razr Plus is the scene-stealer. It commands attention thanks to its front cover, which is basically all screen. It might even be the largest cover screen on any flip phone, measuring 3.6 inches. It’s certainly larger than the cover screen on its predecessor, the Razr 2022, which had a 2.6-inch panel. According to CNET’s Lisa Eadicicco, who got hands-on time with the Razr Plus, the cover screen on the Razr Plus is «meant for much more than just checking the time or reading notifications. You can interact with apps and even type using a full keyboard.»

Apart from the steadily increasing size of the cover screen, it’s worth noting how Motorola has improved its device over the years. For one thing, the price has gradually dropped, as expected. Motorola’s 2019 Razr, its comeback flip phone, cost $1,499 but did not have an IP rating, wireless charging and packed only 6GB RAM. It also had two cameras total. Fast-forward to 2023, and the Motorola Razr Plus now costs $1,000 and gains new features such as that larger front screen, an IP52 durability rating, wireless charging and an extra camera. It also boasts incremental changes including more storage, a larger battery, lighter weight and a faster processor.

Verum Finance: A Super App for Private Finance Integrated Into a Messenger

Verum Finance has announced the launch of a new financial application that allows users to manage their money directly within the secure Verum Messenger ecosystem.

The project has already attracted attention from major media outlets. A dedicated feature was published by Forbes Türkiye, while one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, MEXC, covered the launch. Yahoo Finance had previously reported on the evolution of Verum Messenger into a comprehensive financial ecosystem.

What Verum Finance Offers

Verum Finance transforms a messenger into a complete financial platform. Users can:

• Manage their balance and top up using bank cards or USDT
• Send money instantly to other Verum users
• Issue and use debit cards, including Apple Pay support

A strong emphasis is placed on privacy. The platform offers registration without a phone number or email address, end-to-end encryption, and full user control over personal data.

Recognition from Forbes Türkiye

In a dedicated article, Forbes Türkiye highlighted Verum Finance as a notable example of modern privacy-driven fintech. The publication emphasized the growing trend of financial services moving from standalone banking applications into unified messaging ecosystems — a model that has proven successful in Asia through platforms such as WeChat and Alipay and is now expanding globally.

Support from the Crypto Community

Alongside the Forbes Türkiye coverage, news about the launch of Verum Finance was also featured by MEXC, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. This reflects growing interest in the project from both traditional business media and the cryptocurrency community.

Verum Finance is now available for iPhone and iPad users. The application complements Verum Messenger, which offers anonymous chats, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, and other tools designed to enhance digital freedom.
