Deal: The Motorola Razr Ultra now comes with a free smartwatch and a 1TB upgrade
Ryan Haines / Android Authority Motorola has been offering a free upgrade to the Razr Ultra's 1TB storage version for some time, but today, I woke up to a new freebie. Now, you can also get a free smartwatch with your purchase! Get the Motorola Razr Ultra with a free 1TB storage upgrade and Moto Watch Fit for $1,299.99 ($399.99 off) This offer is available directly from Motorola's website. The freebies come with all color versions available: Pantone Scarab, Pantone Cabaret, Pantone Mountain Trail, and Pantone Rio Red. Motorola Razr Ultra + free 1TB upgrade and Moto Watch Fit Motorola Razr Ultra + free 1TB upgrade and Moto Watch Fit High-end processing power in a folding shell Adding Ultra to the name, the Motorola Razr Ultra is the first folding phone from Moto with a top-tier processor. The 7-inch folding display is paired with a half-size front display to give you both a premium experience, and a compact and portable communication device. See price at Motorola Save $399.99 Many would consider the Motorola Razr Ultra the best foldable flip phone around. In fact, our own Ryan Haines mentions in his full Motorola Razr Ultra review that you were better off getting it instead of waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7. This is because the Razr Ultra takes the flip phone experience to a high-end level. You'll get a premium Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 16GB of RAM, specs you usually only find in the very best Android phones around. And getting that free upgrade to a whole TB is undoubtedly nice, as that is a $200 value. It also features an excellent construction, with an aluminum frame, steel hinge, and an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance. Aside from the usual vegan leather back, this time around, Motorola also brought back the wooden look it used to be known for. The colors are super fun, and the alternative backs offer a unique look, as well as a soft touch. Ryan Haines / Android Authority The display is another really nice treat with the Razr Ultra. It has a 7.0-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a nice 1,224 x 2,912 resolution. Get this: it also has a buttery smooth 165Hz refresh rate that beats most of the top phones in the market. The 4.0-inch external panel gets the same tech and refresh rate, but the resolution is reduced to a still impressive 1,272 x 1,080 definition. Battery life averaged about 25 hours during our tests, while playing 4K content continuously. This is really nice for a 4,700mAh battery. The best part is that it can recharge super fast, too, reaching 68W speeds when wired, and 30W wirelessly. Very few phones can reach these speeds! For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is limited to 45W, and that is a highly respected, high-end Android phone. Ryan Haines / Android Authority The addition of a free Moto Watch Fit is certainly enticing, especially since you don't have to pay an extra penny for it. It's not exactly the most desired smartwatch around, but it can offer notifications, capture health and activity details, let you change songs, and more. It is a more simplified smartwatch, but it works well and handles the basics pretty well. Again, it's also free, and it usually costs $199.99! If you were already thinking of getting a Motorola Razr Ultra, this is the best offer we've seen on it. Get yours before the free storage upgrade and smartwatch offer goes away! All freebies considered, you are pretty much getting $399.99 of value added to your purchase.

I completely upgraded my car videos with the help of this magnetic phone mount — and it's under $20
I've tested many of the best electric cars in the last year, but the one thing I constantly use to help me shoot video is a car phone mount. Lately, I've switched from using one of those electric vacuum phone mounts that uses a motor to stick onto my windshield to a more low-tech one — and it's changed the way I shoot car videos. The Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount doesn't have anything fancy about it. In fact, it has a suction cup on one end and a MagSafe mount on the other. But don't be fooled by this handy car accessory because it's both one of the most reliable car phone mounts I've used and the one with the most utility. Best of all, it's under $20 right now. It's definitely one of the best car phone mounts I've used. Quickly connect or remove the Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount to just about any surface thanks to its incredible suction power and easy removal. The MagSafe mount holds your phone in place, while allowing you to easily adjust its angle for shooting video or using your phone as a dash cam. For a limited time, you can get the Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount with a 33% off instant discount that brings its price from $29 down to $19. Amazon also has a promotion going on right now where you can get it for free when you add the Lisen Electric Retractable Car Phone Mount along with the Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount. At checkout, you'll see a $19.99 off discount — so you're technically paying only $37 for both gadgets. What I really like about the Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount is how easy it is to fasten to different surfaces in my car. With a quick slide of the lock, it stays secure in place without having to rely on other adhesives. The suction cup is made of this sticky material, but doesn't leave the residue that typically comes from other adhesives. At the same time, it's a breeze to remove. When you're shooting several videos all at different angles as much as I do, it's nice to have a car phone mount that can quickly adapt — and the Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount does exactly that. Whether I'm sticking it to the front windshield or dangling it off the glass roof, it never loses its suction. Thanks to its magnetic mount, I'm able to use my iPhone 16 Pro Max (or any other phones with a MagSafe case on) without worry it'll fall off. I've paired the Lisen Suction Cup Phone Mount with flip-style phones like the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 to capture amazing shots while I'm driving. The amount of utility it provides beats all other car phone mounts I've used to date. Plus, it doesn't require charging like other electric car phone mounts.

The Motorola Razr Ultra still comes with a free 1TB upgrade
Ryan Haines / Android Authority Now that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is out, it's time to make a decision. Will you get Samsung's flip phone or the Motorola Razr Ultra? Motorola's is actually more expensive, but it is better in many ways, and the brand is making the purchase a bit more enticing with a free 1TB storage upgrade. Buy the Motorola Razr Ultra and get a free 1TB storage upgrade for $1,299.99 ($200 off) This offer is available directly from Motorola's official website. You get the same deal with all color versions: Pantone Scarab, Pantone Mountain Trail, Pantone Cabaret, and Pantone Rio Red. Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (1TB) Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (1TB) High-end processing power in a folding shell Adding Ultra to the name, the Motorola Razr Ultra is the first folding phone from Moto with a top-tier processor. The 7-inch folding display is paired with a half-size front display to give you both a premium experience, and a compact and portable communication device. See price at Motorola Save $200.00 Before the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 was even announced, we mentioned in our Motorola Razr Ultra review that you should probably not even wait for Sammy's new flip phone. We suppose we were right! The Razr Ultra stands firm as the top flip phone around, unless you really want Samsung's design language and features. There are plenty of reasons to put it on top. I would say this is the first flip phone that is actually considered 'high-end.' It features a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 16GB of RAM, which means it has blazing performance that competes only with the best Android phones around. The design hasn't changed much since last year, but that is a good thing! It has an aluminum frame, a stainless steel hinge, and an IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. I am also a massive fan of the design, as Motorola is offering a vegan leather back that looks and feels fantastic. It's also available in some really fun colors, if you're into that! Ryan Haines / Android Authority When unfolded, you'll enjoy a large 7.0-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a crisp 1,224 x 2,912 resolution and a buttery smooth 165Hz refresh rate. That refresh rate beats most of the top phones, which usually stick to 120Hz. And the 4.0-inch external screen keeps the same display tech and refresh rate. Of course, it is smaller, so the resolution is reduced to 1,272 x 1,080. Even the battery life is outstanding, something that flip phones usually underperform in. The 4,700mAh battery can run the phone for 25 hours straight playing 4K video. And when it's time to recharge, it can also do so really fast at 68W wired or 30W wireless. We know paying $1,299.99 for a phone is still pricey, but if you're set on getting the highest-end flip phone around, this is it. The free storage upgrade is a $200 value, and it's still the best deal we've seen on it. The offer has been running for some time now, so act quickly if you want in. It might go away soon!

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: 5 reasons to buy (and 3 reasons to skip)
After Motorola released a trio of foldable flip phones earlier this year, Samsung is firing back with two new models of its own, highlighted by the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The latest version of Samsung's modernized take on the flip phones of a generation ago introduces a number of changes from previous models, as Samsung looks to re-establish itself as the device maker to turn to for the best foldable phones. And the new flip phone makes a pretty compelling case if our Galaxy Z Flip 7 hands-on is anything to go by. Along with some design changes that particularly boost the displays on the new model, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 sees software changes that deliver a more useful flip phone overall. Still, whether you've got an earlier version of the Galaxy Z Flip or are just trying to decide if you should finally give foldable phones to try, we've spotted some very good reasons in our initial testing to give the Galaxy Z Flip 7 a miss. With Galaxy Z Flip 7 preorders underway in advance of the phone's July 25 release, here are the reasons you may wind up buying the Galaxy Z Flip 7 along with reasons to pass up the chance to get this particular phone. The last version of Samsung's flip phone, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, made no changes to either of its displays, delivering a 6.7-inch main panel augmented by a 3.4-inch screen on the outside of the phone. That's a stark contrast to Motorola models like the Razr Plus and the Motorola Razr Ultra, both of which have 4-inch cover displays. The interior screens are larger, too, at 6.9 inches and 7 inches, respectively. It's safe to say that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 attempts to catch up with the latest Razrs when it comes to display size. The interior panel on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 now reaches 6.9 inches while the outer Flex Window stretches to 4.1 inches. It's not just size that makes the Z Flip 7 more usable than its predecessors. Samsung extends that Flex Window all the way to the edge of the phone, even wrapping it around the outer cameras to free up more space for you. And that interior screen delivers some nice viewing angles with vivid colors. Samsung's foldables have struggled to last a long time on a charge. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 endured for a bit more than 11 hours on our battery test, which is only a little bit ahead of the average time posted by smartphones. Can the Galaxy Z Flip 7 improve on that performance? We won't know until we finish testing the new phone. But Samsung has at least set itself up for success for increasing the size of the battery in the new model. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a 4,300 mAh power pack, a modest increase from the 4,000 mAh battery that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 used. It may not be a big gain, but every little improvement helps when it comes to eking out more time between charges. Samsung isn't slowly down its Galaxy AI push, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is one of the big beneficiaries. Features like the Now Brief and Now Bar added with the Galaxy S25 release earlier this year are included with Samsung's latest foldable phones — with Now Bar updates even appear on the Z Flip 7's outer screen. The real boost comes from support for multimodal AI, where the Gemini assistant on board the Galaxy Z Flip 7 can use the phone's cameras to see what you're seeing — and then provide information about what it observes. My colleague John Velasco has only had a little hands-on time to test this particular feature so far, but the way he describes it certainly feels like the future. Samsung DeX is a hidden weapon on many of the best Samsung phones where you can plug your phone into a display and use it as a makeshift desktop computer. But it's also a feature that hasn't been available to Galaxy Z Flip owners — until the arrival of the Z Flip 7. DeX support has been one of the most requested features by many of my Tom's Guide colleagues, especially John Velasco. He's had a chance to try out DeX on the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and while it's not without its issues — DeX hasn't been refined for the Flip — the arrival of a long-missing feature should be celebrated. We live in a world where a Galaxy Z Fold 7 now costs $1,999 — a $100 price hike from the previous model. So any time Samsung holds the line on pricing, we're going to breathe a sigh of relief. And that's the case with the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which starts at the same $1,099 price as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 before it. Would we have preferred to see a price cut back down to the $999 cost of the Galaxy Z Flip 5? Sure, but you could argue that's the point of the $899 Galaxy Z Flip FE 7, which scales back on some of the Z Flip 7's features to offer that lower price. The point is that prices may be on the rise everywhere, but at least that doesn't apply to Samsung's new flip phones. Galaxy Z Flip 7 preorder: up to $770 off w/ trade-in @ SamsungSamsung is knocking up to $770 off Galaxy Z Flip 7 preorders when you trade-in an older phone. Additionally, you'll get a free storage upgrade with your preorder. The phone features a 6.9-inch AMOLED (2520 x 1080) inner display w/ 120Hz refresh, 4.1-inch AMOLED (948 x 1048) outer display w/ 120Hz refresh, Exynos 2500 CPU, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. You also get 50MP f/1.8 main and 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide rear cameras and a 10MP f2.2 selfie cam. If you own a recent Galaxy Z Flip model, you probably can get by without an upgrade to the latest version unless the allure of larger screens proves too great to ignore. In other areas, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 shares a lot in common with its predecessors. Take the camera hardware, which is unchanged from the 50MP main shooter and 12MP ultrawide lens on the Galaxy Z Flip 6. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as the Z Flip 6 has been the best camera phone among foldables, but Samsung is clearly relying on its ProVisual Engine photo-processing to boost camera performance with the Z Flip 7. Likewise, Samsung hasn't changed charging speeds for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. You'll still get the 25W wired charging Samsung has offered since the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which will benefit from the processing power of Qualcomm's impressive Snapdragon 8 Elite system-on-chip, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is turning to Samsung's own Exynos 2500 silicon. And while we'll need to run benchmark tests on the flip phone to see what that means for performance, it's safe to assume that the Exynos 2500 isn't going to be able to keep pace. Samsung's Exynos chips tend not to match the CPU and GPU performance numbers that top-of-the-line Snapdragon silicon posts in benchmarking. You can argue that may not matter in terms of real-world performance, but it's still a compromise you'd be making with the Galaxy Z Flip 7. And it's a particularly notable compromise since past Flip models have used Snapdragon chips. One of our favorite things about Motorola's Razr lineup is the ability to run apps on the cover displays of those phones. That's not something you can necessarily do on the Galaxy Z Flip 7, not even with the larger 4.1-inch panel on the phone's exterior. While some apps have been optimized for the Galaxy Z Flip 7's Flex Window, if you want to run apps natively, you'll need to download the Good Lock app. While that's a proven workaround, it feels like an unnecessary inconvenience, especially when a Z Flip rival shows just how easily native app support can be implemented. We'll have our full review of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 out soon, along with our definitive buying advice for the latest foldable flip phone from Samsung. But from what we've seen so far from this phone, its biggest strengths are the larger displays and new features, particularly when it comes to AI. The biggest reason to pass up the new phone boils down to how much it really improves upon older models — and from a camera and performance standpoint, the gains could be minimal.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold leak: Google's upcoming foldable may beat Samsung with full dust-proof design
Google's next foldable smartphone might bring the kind of durability that other brands haven't yet achieved. As per the latest leak, the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be the first foldable phone to come with an IP68 rating, making it resistant to both dust and water. In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Motorola Razr Ultra only have IP48 protection, which blocks larger particles but doesn't fully guard against would be a big leap in terms of ruggedness for foldable phones, a category that has often been criticised for being delicate. In comparison, Samsung's Fold 7 and Motorola's Razr Ultra are still limited to IP48 protection, which doesn't fully keep out dust. If Google delivers on this promise, it could be a major selling point for the Pixel 10 Pro device is expected to debut at Google's Made by Google event next month, alongside the regular Pixel 10 series. And while its outer appearance might not see a dramatic change, there are meaningful upgrades under the hood and on the display. Starting with the front screen, Google is reportedly increasing the cover display size from 6.3 inches to 6.4 inches, thanks to slimmer bezels and a reworked hinge. It's also said to offer up to 3,000 nits of brightness, which should make outdoor usage more comfortable. The inner display is expected to be around the same size as the performance front, Google is likely to equip the device with the new Tensor G5 chip, built on a 3nm process. Paired with 16GB RAM, this should help improve multitasking and power efficiency. Storage options may now go up to 1TB, joining the standard 256GB and 512GB variants, a first for Google's foldable area that might impress users is battery life. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is tipped to pack a 5,015mAh battery, making it roughly 7 per cent larger than the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and about 9 per cent bigger than the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Despite having a similar form factor, Google seems to have found space for a larger cell, which could translate into better screen-on-time and all-day use without camera setup, however, may not change much from the previous model. Leaks suggest a 48-megapixel main camera, along with 10.5-megapixel ultra-wide and 10.8-megapixel 5x telephoto sensors. Selfie cameras on both the inner and outer screens are said to be 10-megapixel each, keeping things simple and the overall camera system remains largely unchanged, the leaks suggest that Google is focusing this year on durability, performance, and battery improvements. With the launch expected in a few weeks, it won't be long before we see whether these upgrades give Google the edge in the growing foldable market. If the IP68 rating holds true, it may push other brands to follow suit.- Ends
