The Razr+ 2025's displays are one of the areas where the phone does an obvious balancing act between the 'entry-level' Razr and the Ultra. The Razr 2025 is a decent option, the Razr Ultra 2025 is the best, and the plus falls somewhere in between. The main display is similar to the non-plus in many ways: 6.9-inch LTPO OLED with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,640 pixels and a taller 22:9 aspect ratio.
However, it also shares some characteristics with the Ultra, such as its Dolby Vision compliance and 165Hz refresh rate. On the cover, things are almost entirely Ultra-grade. Yоu get the 4-inch panel diagonal, the same 165Hz refresh rate (LTPO panel too), and Dolby Vision too - on the Razr 2025 you'll have to make do with 3.6 inches, 90Hz, and HDR10.
In our testing, the Razr+ 2025's foldable panel produced slightly more than 1,200 nits in bright ambient conditions. This was about the same as the standard model, but it was a few hundred nits lower than the Ultra and the Galaxy Z Flip6. The Flip is also noticeably brighter in manual operation, where the Razrs are around the 500-nit mark.
Similarly, the Razr+ 2025 and Razr 2025 hover in the 1,200-nit ballpark on the cover display, with the Ultra being capable of 300nits more. It's hardly consequential, but it's a difference alright.
The phone will choose a refresh rate up to that ceiling depending on the content, and it will go down to 1Hz when it is idling. Both of these serve as ceilings. In practice, we could force the 165Hz refresh rate only in games through the gaming utility - there doesn't appear to be another way.
Having said that, the phone would happily maintain 120 Hz on its own with no input from the user, both in games and everyday use. We did not experience any hiccups with 24fps or 48fps content, but videos appeared to receive 60Hz regardless of frame rate. The Razr+ 2025 will provide a brightness boost in Google Photos and Google Chrome for compatible images taken on this Razr or other devices that comply with the Android Ultra HDR photo standard.
The Razr+ 2025 runs on a 4,000mAh capacity battery, which sounds like very little in 2025. It's less than the Razr 2025's capacity (4,500mAh), and less than what Ultra has (4,700mAh), though it's a match for the Galaxy Z Flip6.
The Razr+ 2025 behaved similarly to the non-plus during our testing in that it did not quite meet our expectations for longevity. Even so, the plus did outlast its less expensive stablemate, despite the vanilla model having a smaller battery and weaker chipset, so we can count that as a win for the plus. The Z Flip6 is also not better than the Moto, though conventional models like the iPhone 16 Pro and even the Pixel 9 Pro will have it beat in an endurance race.
