All old trends come back eventually, including flip phones. These unique and stylish hybrid models have been making a comeback lately, with Motorola's latest Razr Plus earning a spot on our list of the overall best phones for 2025. Its $1,000 starting price may be a little too steep for many people, but right now you can snag a still-excellent 2023 model at a super impressive discount.
Motolora has knocked the black, blue and magenta variants down to just $500, a whopping 50% off the usual price and a new record low. Amazon has matched this offer as well, but the magenta one isn't on sale there. And you can enjoy free shipping from both retailers. This deal will expire on Feb. 9. so we'd recommend getting your order in soon if you're hoping to pick one up at this price.
CNET reviewer Lisa Eadicicco hailed the 2023 Razr Plus as the model that made her "a flip phone believer." It features a 3.6-inch cover screen that makes it easy to check the time, incoming messages and more on the fly. Open it up and you get a stunning 6.9-inch pOLED interior display with a buttery smooth 165Hz refresh rate. It's equipped with a first-gen Snapdragon 8 Plus processor, as well as a respectable 8GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage.
The front camera boasts a 32-megapixel resolution, and the Razr Plus' unique design makes it easy to set up selfies and group photos from a distance. The main camera has a 12-megapixel resolution, along with a 13-megapixel ultrawide secondary camera. Other features our reviewer appreciated were its thin and lightweight design, impressive all-day battery life and the fact that the screen crease is barely visible.

Why this deal matters
The current Motorola Razr Plus is one of the absolute best phones on the market right now, and this previous-gen model only predates it by one year, so it shares many of the same excellent features and hardware. It's even managed to retain a spot on our list of 2025's best flip phones as our favorite value option.
When it was originally released, our reviewer found a lot to love about the 2023 Razr Plus, but felt that the $1,000 starting price was still a little too steep to justify. But now that it's available for just half that, it's a can't-miss bargain for those looking to make the switch to a flip phone.
And if this isn't the model you're looking for, be sure to check out our full roundup of all the best phone deals for even more savings on both Android and Apple devices.
