How long has it been since you've used a folding phone? The Motorola razr+ is a great throwback that you'll love whipping out of your pocket in front of people, but it's also genuinely a fun little phone. Mashable's RJ Andersen called it "worth considering" and a "worthy opponent" to the Samsung Galaxy Flip5, with a great external display, "solid specs" and a variety of aesthetically pleasing colors. If you loved your Razr back in high school, you'll love it even more today.
