Motorola Razr 2025: Why There's No 128GB Model — and What You Get Instead


Looking for the Motorola Razr 2025 with 128GB of storage? You might be surprised to learn that Motorola has skipped the 128GB variant entirely in 2025. All three Razr 2025 models start at 256GB of internal storage—double the base storage of many competing foldable phones.

Here’s why Motorola made this move, and what it means for buyers looking for a more affordable Razr option.

Why Motorola Skipped the 128GB Option This Year

Motorola’s decision to start at 256GB isn’t just about specs — it’s about future-proofing. With AI features growing in size and complexity, 128GB simply isn’t enough anymore. Whether it’s AI photo editing, offline voice models, or personalized assistants, your phone needs the space to grow.

Keep in mind that Motorola is offering at least three years of Android OS updates, so it’s expecting you to keep the Razr 2025 for a few years. And the extra storage space will be very useful.

No.
Motorola’s starting storage for the Razr 2025 family is 256GB. With no options for more on Razr and Razr Plus. However, the Razr Ultra does come with 512GB and an option for 1TB.

Motorola Razr 2025: 256GB
Motorola Razr Plus 2025: 256GB
Motorola Razr Ultra 2025: 512GB, 1TB

It should be plenty of storage, at least for now. Interestingly, we’re still in the infancy stages of AI, so it’s only going to take up more space. But with 256GB of storage, you’re likely looking at around 200GB of actually usable storage, after the OS and AI features.

Only the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (or Razr 60 Ultra) sports a 1TB model. This is going to be exclusive to Motorola’s website, and the unlocked model. So if you’re planning to grab it from a carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile, that won’t be an option.

Motorola Razr 2025 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Series

Surprisingly, Motorola is taking Samsung’s lunch and eating it too. Motorola has more than half of the flip phone market in North America, it’s actually closer to 70%. It’s really not hard to see why. There are three main reasons: Price, Colors and Materials, and Features.

Motorola offers the Razr at a much lower price than Samsung does its Galaxy Z Flip. Samsung still only offers one model, which is now $1,099. While Motorola offers models starting at $699, and has since 2023. This year, the company added a third model, the Ultra, which is now the most expensive flip phone at $1,299.

Motorola also offers some really interesting colors and materials. And as much as people want to say, “you’re just going to put a case on it,” Motorola is proving that to not be true. The company has said that 65% of the phones they sold last year were not neutral colors. The company is also using materials like faux leather, faux suede, Alcantara, and now Wood. Really going back to its days of the Moto X and Moto Maker.

Finally, there are the features. As a phone reviewer, I’ve had the ability to review most of the flip phones on the market. And obviously, here in North America (and most of the world), the only options are Samsung and Motorola. So what sets Motorola apart? That cover display. Not only is it larger, but Motorola also allows you to run any Android app on that cover display. Samsung lets you run Android apps, but you’re limited to a handful, and it’s only a beta feature that must be enabled in the Labs section of Settings.
