+ Editor's Advice:

The Motorola Razr 60 will suit young users who love a foldable smartphone with a unique design and a versatile external screen.

This device is not a suitable choice for users who regularly play games, especially games with complex graphics.

If users have high demands for gaming and professional photography, choosing a regular bar-shaped smartphone will be a better solution in this segment.

Design and display

The Motorola Razr 60 retains the familiar clamshell design of the Razr series phones. All edges and four corners are softly curved.

When used in open screen mode, the body is more elongated than most bar-shaped smartphones on the market. When folded, the device fits comfortably in the palm of the hand and users can easily operate the external screen with just one hand.

The body is relatively sturdy with a metal frame and a front made of scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. On the blue version, the back is covered with a fabric layer for a soft, comfortable grip.

The above design also brings a unique look to the product's appearance when most competitors on the market use a plastic, glass or metal back. In addition, this material also helps to limit dirt and fingerprints during use.

The titanium hinge of the device is designed to be sturdy, allowing users to fold and open the device at many different angles for use. The experience of folding and opening the screen is quite pleasant and smooth, without making any strange noises.

Compared to its rival Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, the Motorola Razr 60's external screen is considered a plus point when it has a borderless design and covers the camera cluster. This design provides more display space and helps users operate more easily.

The external screen of the device is 3.6 inches in size, with a resolution of 1,056 x 1,066 pixels and a refresh rate of 90Hz. This screen provides fast response speed, vivid colors and wide viewing angles. The maximum brightness reaches 1,700 nits, making it easy to use outdoors in the sun.

Nowadays, many manufacturers choose to limit the functionality on the external screen of clamshell phones. The external screen acts as a secondary display, supporting quick notification viewing or limited access to some widgets. However, that limits the user's ability to use it.

On the Motorola Razr 60, the external display is more than just a secondary display for checking the time and reading notifications. Users can easily customize it to quickly access most of their frequently used applications. The device even supports playing games directly on the external display.

Of course, not all applications are optimized and compatible with the ratio of the external screen. Playing games on a small screen is not really comfortable. However, this is still a plus point in terms of customization, helping users to easily use the device according to their personal needs.

The main screen of the device is 6.9 inches in size, using a P-OLED panel with a resolution of 1,080 x 2,640 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. This screen has a maximum brightness of 3,000 nits and is Pantone Validated, providing natural and accurate colors with more than one billion color gamuts.

The screen bezel is not too thick and is slightly raised from the surface. This design helps protect the screen better when folding and opening. The crease is also not a problem on the Motorola Razr 60. In most cases of daily use, users will hardly notice the crease on the screen of the device.

In addition, the device also meets IP48 dust and water resistance standards. This equipment helps users feel more secure during use.

Performance and battery

The Motorola Razr 60 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. The MediaTek Dimensity 7400X isn't a weak processor, but it's not too powerful either, considering the mid-range mobile segment.

A quick assessment through the Antutu Benchmark performance scoring software, the Motorola Razr 60 scored more than 900,000 points. Meanwhile, with the same test, its rival Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE using the Exynos 2400 processor scored more than 1.5 million points.

Actual usage experience shows that the device can handle daily tasks well. The pure Android operating system interface also helps the device's responses become neater and faster.

With some popular games like Lien Quan Mobile or PUBG Mobile, the device can still meet 60 frames/second with medium - high graphics settings. Of course, the device will heat up quite quickly when users run heavy tasks like playing games, especially in the outer screen area near the camera cluster.

In fact, this is also a common limitation of all clamshell folding screen smartphones on the market. The thin and light folding design is not optimal for heavy tasks or playing complex graphic games for a long time.

The included battery has a capacity of 4,500mAh and supports TurboPower 33W fast charging. The integration of a not-so-powerful processor also contributes to optimizing battery life. With the need for multitasking and not much gaming, the device can fully meet the needs of daily use.

Camera and AI features

The camera system on the Motorola Razr 60 includes a 50MP main lens with OIS optical image stabilization and a 13MP ultra-wide-angle lens with integrated macro photography. The selfie camera has a resolution of 32MP.

The quality of photos taken from the main camera of the device is relatively consistent and stable in most cases of use. The image colors are processed in a realistic direction, with good detail and contrast.

With portrait mode, the camera supports taking pictures at 3 focal lengths, respectively 24mm, 35mm and 50mm. The details on the face, glasses and hair are all processed harmoniously. The background is naturally blurred and does not cut into the subject.

In fact, the camera is not the strong point of clamshell phones. Due to the size limitation, the device is also not equipped with a telephoto lens. Therefore, users should only take photos at 2x zoom or less to ensure the level of detail of the image.

With the advantage of a foldable phone, users can also use the main camera cluster of the device as a selfie camera. This helps users take full advantage of the power of the camera system on the device.

Thanks to the deep integration of the Google Photo application, the device also supports a series of AI photo editing tools such as Magic Eraser, Magic Editor, Photo Unblur or Portrait Blur. These features help process and improve images quickly and conveniently.

Motorola Razr 60 deeply integrates Google Gemini AI virtual assistant, helping to enhance search, personalization and interaction. The Circle to Search AI feature allows quick lookup by circling content on the screen.

In addition, the device is also equipped with the Moto AI toolkit with a series of features such as AI image creation, AI note taking, translation, etc. However, it is quite regrettable that language-related AI features do not currently support Vietnamese. Motorola will need to soon optimize and complete its AI toolkit to be able to increase the experience for users in Vietnam.

Summary

In the mid-high-end price segment, users in Vietnam currently do not have many choices when wanting to buy a foldable screen phone. Motorola Razr 60 is a completely new candidate, competing directly with rival Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE in this segment.

Compared to bar-shaped phones in the same mid-range mobile segment, foldable screen smartphones are often at a disadvantage in some aspects.

The Motorola Razr 60 will be suitable for young users who love a foldable smartphone with a unique design and a versatile external screen. Other experiences in terms of camera, AI features or battery life are all at a good enough level.

This device is not a suitable choice for users who regularly play games, especially games with complex graphics.

In addition, the device also has limitations such as the lack of a telephoto lens and some AI language features that do not support Vietnamese. Motorola still has a lot of work to do to improve the product after returning to the Vietnamese market.
