The €1,149 clamshell offers a useful cover screen, flexible camera features and a compact design, while its battery is best topped up overnight.
Motorola’s Razr 70 Plus is designed for people who want a foldable phone that is easier to carry than a conventional flagship, but without giving up a large display or premium features. In a hands-on review for MAGG, the device was described as weighing 189 grams, folding neatly into a pocket-friendly shape and feeling reassuringly solid in the hand. Motorola’s own specifications support the broader hardware picture, listing a 4,500mAh battery, a 6.9-inch inner screen with a refresh rate of up to 165Hz and a 32-megapixel front camera.
The cover display is one of the phone’s clearest advantages. According to MAGG’s testing, it is practical enough to handle messages, social media, music and even some app use without unfolding the handset. Opened out, the main AMOLED panel is meant to provide the more familiar smartphone experience, with fluid motion and vivid colour. The publication also noted that although the crease is visible, it rarely interferes with everyday use. Motorola’s specifications further state that the screen can reach 3,000 nits of peak brightness, which should help legibility outdoors.
Photography appears to be a major reason to buy this model. MAGG said the Razr 70 Plus performed well in stills and video, helped by its dual 50-megapixel rear cameras and 32-megapixel selfie camera. The foldable design adds flexibility that standard phones cannot match: users can shoot while the handset is partly folded, use both screens to frame shots more precisely or place it on a surface to record video without a tripod. Motorola’s product details and TechRadar’s independent review both reinforce the camera configuration and the appeal of the clamshell format, while the review also places the device in the wider foldable market as a compact alternative to larger slabs.
The software experience also leans on convenience rather than novelty for novelty’s sake. MAGG highlighted AI tools such as audio transcription, which are not headline-grabbing on their own but can save time in everyday use. On battery life, the review found the phone could comfortably last a full day, though a recharge before the next morning still made sense. That sits broadly in line with Motorola’s 4,500mAh specification, while the company’s update policy for the device, as listed on its support page, includes up to three years of operating-system upgrades and up to five years of security updates.
Priced from €1,149 in Portugal, the Razr 70 Plus is not a casual purchase, but the review argues that it offers a strong case for buyers who care most about design, photography and the versatility of dual screens. MAGG also tested Motorola’s Moto Tag 2 alongside the phone. The accessory uses Google’s Find Hub network, Bluetooth and, on compatible phones, precision-finding technologies to help locate keys, bags or luggage. Motorola says it can run for more than 600 days on a replaceable CR2032 battery and includes water and dust resistance with an IP68 rating, while the Portuguese review placed the accessory at €39 and described it as an easy and genuinely useful add-on for day-to-day life.
