Foldable phones went away for a while, replaced by the flat slab smartphones that are now everywhere today. When foldable smartphones came onto the scene, they were an expensive, niche product. The 2023 Motorola Razr started to change that with a $700 price tag, but that price just got even better with a $200 discount at Amazon that makes this foldable more affordable than a lot of popular smartphones that you should never try to fold.

The 2023 Motorola Razr is an elegant little device. Eschewing a glass back in favor of a vegan leather, it will likely have a lot of people wondering what it even is when folded closed. Its metal sides, dual-camera bump and small external screen may clue people into it being a phone, but it’s a subtle and compact device you can easily tuck into your pocket.
Folding it open, you get a very different experience. The phone offers an impressive 6.9-inch display with a bright plastic OLED (pOLED) panel that’s both sharp and smooth, even offering a 144Hz refresh rate. The phone runs on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset that may not be as fast as the flagship phones of this year and may not be the ideal choice for hardcore mobile gamers, but it’s plenty peppy for everyday use. If you’ve been waiting for a good time to make the jump to folding phones, this deal makes one of the lowest barriers to entry we’ve seen.
