Motorola Razr Ultra Is Our Favorite Flip Phone of 2025, and It’s Now $300 Off on Amazon

This Prime Day deal puts the latest Motorola Razr Ultra smartphone in your pocket for less.

Flip phones are weirdly nostalgic — all the cool kids had them. Smartphones have evolved way past the early 2000s days, and today’s flip phones are both smarter and sleeker. If you’ve been thinking of treating yourself to one, this Prime Day is the perfect time to make the upgrade.

The latest Motorola Razr Ultra — our favorite flip phone of the year — is now $300 off on Amazon, going for $1,000. This is the lowest price we have seen this unlocked version ever go for, and the discount applies to red and green options. Other colors are also on sale, but they’re priced a bit higher. The retailer is also offering up to $650 in gift card credit when you trade in an eligible device, which is a great way to save even more.

This smartphone earned a CNET review score of 8.3/10, after being inspected in detail by our expert phone reviewer, Patrick Holland. According to him, it’s a big step up from older Razr models, especially those that are a few generations old. His only real complaint was the $1,300 price, which this deal takes care of.

The 7-inch main display delivers stunning Super HD resolution (2992 x 1224), paired with a 165Hz refresh rate that keeps everything running smooth. But the main highlight is the bright 4-inch cover screen that can be used for anything, including apps and even games. The overall design is quite sturdy, and the phone features an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance.

There’s a trio of lenses with 50-megapixel sensors for crisp pictures. You also get a whopping 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in this model, so storing all those high-definition photos and videos won’t be an issue. Add over 36 hours of battery life, and you’ve got yourself a reliable companion that won’t tap out halfway through your day.

Why this deal matters

The Motorola Razr Ultra is one of the best flip phones out there, but at its regular price of $1,300, it’s not exactly cheap. This deal brings it down to $1,000, which is the lowest price we’ve seen. It probably won’t stick around for long, so we recommend acting fast to grab one.
