Best high-end Motorola phones in the US

Motorola has several excellent high-end models that arrive at a lower price than Samsung's alternatives. The brand launched two gorgeous clamshell foldables in 2024, including the Razr+ (2024), a superb Galaxy Z Flip 6 alternative. 

For non-foldable phone fans, Motorola's Edge (2024) and last year's flagship, the Edge+ (2023), offer great specs at a more affordable price. Unfortunately, Motorola does not offer any top-end non-flip phones in the US this year.

Motorola Razr Plus (2024): Motorola's latest foldable perfection



The latest Razr+ (2024) is here. This time, Motorola has really outdone itself, fixing some annoying issues that were present in last year's model. One of the most obvious ones is the somewhat wobbly hinge. The latest clamshell foldable now feels significantly sturdier, which is always good news.

The ultra-stylish phone now has an even bigger AMOLED cover screen, measuring 4 inches. The device retains the same size for its main screen as last year's model. So, you again get a 6.9-inch AMOLED display with 165Hz max refresh rates. Under the hood, the model has a flagship-level Snapdragon 8s Gen 3.

With a 50MP main camera within its dual camera setup and a larger (and better performing) 4,000mAh battery, this is indeed one of the best flip Motorola phones for 2025.


Motorola Razr (2024): the stylish, budget flip


The Motorola Razr (2024) follows the legacy of its 2023 predecessor. In other words, it's a flip phone with a reasonable price and plenty of things to offer. The device features an improved 3.6-inch OLED screen and a 6.9-inch main OLED display with 120Hz refresh rates, a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X chipset, and a 4,200mAh battery.

The latest bargain foldable from Motorola is already up for grabs at the official store and Amazon.


Motorola Edge Plus (2023): blazing-fast performance


This year's Motorola Edge Plus (2023) is an incredible flagship. It looks stylish and elegant but also packs some serious power. At $799.99, the Moto smartphone provides lighting performance facilitated by the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. You also have a 6.7-inch pOLED display with a blazing-fast 165Hz refresh rate. Anything you do feels buttery-smooth and snappy on this phone. There's also a great camera setup with a 50MP primary camera. It captures detailed images in bright and vivid colors day and night.

The device supports charging speeds of 68W and wireless charging, so you can be sure it'll stay with you longer. Incredibly, you even get a TurboPower charger in the box, a luxury few other flagship phones have nowadays. Don't forget that the device goes by a different name in Europe – Motorola Edge 40 Pro.

Motorola Edge (2024): the new mid-range warrior


Released on June 20, 2024, the Motorola Edge (2024) is the brand's latest US-available model from the Edge series. Until the Edge+ (2024) sees the dawn of day (if it sees it at all), this will be the best Moto phone with Android 14 to get.

So, this beautiful newly-released IP68-rated handset sports a 6.6-inch pOLED display that supports up to 144Hz refresh rates, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip (same as the Edge 50 Fusion in the EU), and a 5,000mAh battery. Charging speeds are pretty decent, with the phone supporting 68W wired and 15W wireless charging.

On the rear, you have a dual camera setup with a 50MO Sony LYTIA 700C main sensor and a 13MP ultra-wide unit. Additionally, Motorola added a 32MP AF selfie camera.

This could be a real gem for Moto fans who don't want to wait until the Edge+ (2024) release. It's already available at the official store with a starting price of $549.99. Before long, it should also arrive at Best Buy, Amazon, and various US carriers.

Motorola's Moto G Series offers solid price-performance ratios. This makes options like the Moto G Power 5G (2024) and the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) ideal for users on a budget who don't mind settling for a less impressive but still decent spec sheet.

Moto G Stylus 5G (2024): Motorola's fashion star with a stylus


Continuing the legacy of its older relatives, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) offers a stylus experience and 5G on deck without breaking the bank. Indeed, with its launch price of about $400, the phone packs a punch!

Slightly bigger than its predecessor, this bad boy features a 6.7-inch screen with 120Hz refresh rates. Motorola finally ditches the IPS LCD display technology, adopting pOLED for its 2024-released stylus-wielding star.

You also have improvements in the RAM department. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) featured 6GB RAM, while this one packs another 2GB for your convenience. The Android phone also has 128GB of built-in storage, with expansions available (up to 2TB!).

The camera setup was also worked on. Now we get a 13MP ultra-wide unit replacing the 8MP one found in last year's device and a 32MP selfie camera. For context, the stylus phone of yesteryear relies on a 16MP front unit for selfies.

Ultimately, the Moto G Stylus 5G (2024) offers several welcome updates, plus it runs on Android 14 out of the box. The phone hit the market on May 31, 2024.


Moto G Power (2025): Motorola's new battery beast



Motorola released its Moto G Power (2025) model not long ago, pricing it at $299.99 as the older model. It maintains the same 5,000mAh battery and 30W wired charging capabilities as its predecessor. However, it brings several improvements over the Moto G Power 5G (2024). One standout improvement is a 6.8-inch FHD+ display with higher brightness levels, up to 1,000 nits.

There's also a Corning Gorilla Glass 5 technology for better protection. Similarly to most Motorola phones, the G Power (2025) features a vegan leather back and boasts a high IP69 water and dust resistance.

On the camera front, the $299.99 Android 15 phone comes with a 50 MP primary rear-facing sensor with OIS, just like the previous model. A second 8 MP ultra-wide camera is available on the rear, and you have a 16 MP selfie unit on the front. Cool extras here include Dolby Atmos support and Bass Boost for louder, more captivating audio.

Under the hood, you have a Dimensity 6300 chip, which should be more than good enough for everyday use. In short, this Motorola phone is a sensible upgrade over last year's battery beast. The improved design and display are arguably the most notable upgrades here, so if that's a top priority for you, you should be more than happy with it.

Moto G (2025): multiple improvements at an ultra-low price



Looking for an ultra-cheap Android phone that doesn't disappoint as an everyday device? The Moto G (2025) is the one for you. Released at the same time as the G Power (2025), this device features a vegan leather back that's soft to the touch and very pleasing overall. What's more, the Moto G 5G (2024) successor comes with a slightly larger display, which measures 6.7 inches with 120Hz refresh rates. 

For an ultra-cheap phone, the Moto G (2025) offers very decent photos in ideal conditions. It features a 50 MP main camera on the rear and a 2 MP macro lens, while the front sensor is now upgraded to 16 MP from 8 MP on the previous model. Running on Android 15 out the gate, the handset should receive two years of OS upgrades and three years of security support. 

Motorola has also boosted charging speeds to 30W instead of 18W. That should allow the 5,000mAh battery to replenish a bit quicker. The best part? The Moto G (2025) comes at the same asking price of $199.99 despite the improvements.

Motorola Edge 50 Fusion: flagship-grade experience on a budget



The Edge 50 Fusion may not boast an ultra-high-end build, but it still gives you pretty good value for money. The device features a large-sized 6.7-inch pOLED screen with up to 144Hz refresh rates. It has a 50MP main camera with OIS, a 13MP secondary ultra wide-angle unit on the rear, and a 32MP front camera. For its asking price of €399 (~$420), takes photos that look simply great.

Then you have the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 mid-range processor, offering decent performance and even some gaming capabilities. Battery-wise, the smartphone largely follows Motorola's latest 5,000mAh capacity trend, providing you with hours of entertainment per charge.

Motorola Edge 50 Ultra: nature's timeless elegance


The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra is the brand's latest global flagship. Its design is what makes it a truly unique option—the unit comes with a wooden back in Asia and Europe, called Nordic Wood. There are also vegan leather and bronze glass versions, but those are limited to some markets.

Given that you can get the model with 16GB RAM and 1TB storage for only about €1,207/£1,000 (~$1,266), it's a very suitable alternative to other mainstream options. The model features a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display with 144Hz refresh rates and offers lots of potential with its Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor.

While the model has great specs, it gets only three years of software updates. If that's no biggie for you, there's a good chance you'd like it.


Motorola Edge 50 Pro: camera excellence at decent prices


The Motorola Edge 50 Pro is another international model from the Edge 50 Series, launched this year. The handset sells for €699 in the EU and £599.99 (~$733) in the UK and offers a fantastic camera performance for its asking price. The model features 50 MP + 13 MP + 10 MP cameras on the rear, including a dedicated 3X telephoto lens with OIS.

The handset also packs a great visual experience, featuring a 6.67-inch pOLED display with 144Hz refresh rates. Under the hood, the handset packs a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. While it doesn't excel on the benchmark tests, the processor packs lots of potential and even runs games like Minecraft.
