Verdict
While the Razr 50 made a real leap with its large external display, the Razr 60 only takes small steps forward: A little more power, a slightly larger battery with slightly longer runtimes, a slightly brighter screen, and slightly faster Wi-Fi.
So there's no real killer argument as to why you shouldn't go for the predecessor. Unless, of course, you really want the new color variants, which are actually very pretty.
It is pleasing that Motorola has reduced the price of its cheaper flip phone by 100 Euros (~$115) in times of inflation fears. However, four years of security and system updates are only mediocre.
On its own, the Motorola Razr 60 is still an unusual smartphone that will delight design fans and photo enthusiasts: thanks to the hinge and the external display, you can also take selfies with the main camera or set up the phone without a tripod.
However, other flip phones often offer even more power and slightly better cameras. In view of the comparatively low price, the Razr 60 is nevertheless a recommendation for anyone who is enthusiastic about the concept and doesn't want to spend too much money.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
The manufacturer wants 799 Euros (~$921) for its smartphone in its online store.
However, other retailers such as alza.de already offer the phone with a 100 Euro (~$115) discount.

Specifications
Case and features - still stable
With the Razr 60, Motorola is launching an update for its relatively inexpensive flip phone. You can open it up at the short side and then get a huge inner display in addition to the already large outer display. At first glance, it is difficult to distinguish it from its predecessor, as nothing has changed in terms of appearance, dimensions and weight.
But wait - that's not quite true, because if you know what colors and materials were available last year, Motorola 2025 presents completely new variants: The dark blue Gibraltar Sea, for example, with a nylon back, the light beige Lightest Sky with an acetate finish or, like our test device, in a leather look in the light green Spring Bud. All colors are selected from the Pantone palette.
The Motorola Razr 60 is once again a feast for design fans and can also bring color into everyday life if desired. The titanium-reinforced hinge and the barely visible and barely noticeable crease in the main display make the phone easy to use in many situations. The workmanship appears sturdy, but the chassis creaks quietly when twisted.
Thanks to IP48 protection, the phone can also be taken into shallow water.
8 GB RAM and 256 GB mass storage is the only available memory configuration. Dual SIM operation is also possible thanks to nano and eSIM support.
Communication and operation - WiFi 6E and fast touchscreen
WiFi 6E is also on board the Razr 60 and thus support for the little-used 6 GHz network in the WLAN. This allows the phone to achieve quite decent speeds of around 700 - 1,000 MBit/s.
There are so many LTE and 5G frequencies available that the phone is also well-suited for frequent travelers.
Thanks to the 300 Hz sampling rate, touch inputs on the inner display are captured without any problems; the outer display also reacts quickly with a 120 Hz sampling rate, but is sometimes a little less precise.
The fingerprint sensor is integrated into the standby button on the right and unlocks the phone very quickly and reliably. Unlocking using facial recognition is possible via the cameras on the inside and outside.

Software and sustainability - Motorola with 4 years of updates
Android 15 is pre-installed, manufacturer-specific changes are outsourced to apps so that they can be updated more easily. There are many AI functions in the system, for example notifications are summarized on request or images are created and improved.
The phone will receive updates until June 2029, i.e. four years. Samsung offers 7 years here and is therefore still unbeaten.
The packaging is only printed in one color and does not use any plastics. We were unable to find any information about the device's CO2 footprint.
Cameras - Hardly any changes to the predecessor
If you compare the camera equipment of the Razr 60 with its predecessor, no changes are visible: there is still a 50-megapixel sensor as the main camera and a 13-megapixel wide-angle lens.
The image quality of the main camera cannot keep up with conventional high-end phones. The pictures are usable, but usually a little grainy and the edges fray. In very low light and with high contrasts, decent photos can be taken.
The wide-angle camera also takes nice snapshots, but they are too coarse in detail.
Inside there is a 32-megapixel camera for selfies, which are passable but not bright enough in dark areas.
Image comparison
Choose a scene and navigate within the first image. One click changes the position on touchscreens. One click on the zoomed-in image opens the original in a new window. The first image shows the scaled photograph of the test device.
Main camera PlantMain camera EnvironmentMain camera Low LightWide-angle camera
Display - Slightly brighter, but slower
There is also no further development of the screens, rather the opposite: the maximum 165 Hz of the main display on the Razr 50 has been reduced to 120 Hz on the current model and the external display shows a maximum of 90 frames per second. However, hardly anyone will really notice the difference in everyday use.
Motorola has optimized the brightness in everyday use a little, otherwise the measured values of the main displays on the Razr 50 and Razr 60 are quite similar. The color reproduction is very good.
PWM flickering is to be expected, but at a very high rate of 764 Hz at low brightness (probably due to DC dimming). This should hardly cause any problems, even for sensitive people.

The display backlight flickers at 764.3 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) . The frequency of 764.3 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8350 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||

Performance, emissions and battery life - fast enough for everyday use
With the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X soC, the Razr 60 offers slightly more power than its predecessor, but the difference should hardly be noticeable in everyday use. Compared to more expensive flip phones, the performance is significantly lower, but it is usually sufficient for smooth operation.
There is a noticeable warming after a very long load, but this is not critical. At the same time, there is hardly any visible loss of SoC performance in the stress tests.
The speaker is supported by the earpiece during sound playback. The duo is not as loud, but sounds quite decent. There are also many wireless audio codecs for connecting headphones or speakers.
The battery life is slightly longer than its predecessor thanks to the more powerful battery. However, other flip phones last significantly longer than the 13:34 hours we measured with the Razr 60 in our Wi-Fi test.

Notebookcheck overall rating
The Razr 60 is comparatively inexpensive and therefore has a special status among flip phones.
At the same time, little has changed compared to its predecessor and that leaves an opportunity to pick up the Razr 50 at a reasonable price.
