Motorola’s Latest Razr Phones Are All In on AI
Moto AI’s core features are Catch Me Up, Remember This, and Pay Attention. Catch Me Up summarizes notifications, prioritizing urgent messages, if you’re coming back to your Razr after some time and have a pile of notifications to sift through. Remember This lets you ask Moto AI to remember anything, even ask it to save screenshots, and you can ask it to recall that information later on. Pay Attention starts an audio recording, where the Razr will auto-transcribe a conversation and provide a summary at the end.
A few new tricks are here that weren’t announced before, like Next Move. This predicts what you might want to do based on what’s on the screen. Naturally, Motorola also has some AI generation services—Image Studio lets you create AI-generated art, and Playlist Studio comes up with a fresh playlist based on a prompt, though it seems to only work with Amazon Music right now.
If you put the Razr Ultra in tent mode, you’ll enable a hands-free Moto AI mode, which lets you have a conversation with Motorola’s assistant without manually activating it.
Moto Things

Rounding out the announcements are “Moto Things,” Motorola’s umbrella term for accessories. They include open-ear earbuds, the Moto Buds Loop, and a new smartwatch, the Moto Watch Fit.
Open-ear earbuds are all the rage, and Motorola is elevating the look and sound with two collaboration partners: Bose and Swarovski. Yes, the earbuds have Sound by Bose for souped-up audio quality, and there’s a version of the Buds Loop with Swarovski crystals. They have all the standard features you’d expect in earbuds today, from spatial sound support and a water-repellent design to 37 hours of battery life with the case alone (8 hours for the buds). No word on the price, though they arrive this summer.
The Watch Fit is not a Wear OS smartwatch, so you won’t be able to use your favorite apps on this fitness watch. It works with any Android phone, and the Apple Watch-inspired 1.9-inch OLED screen will let you check notifications, control music playback, and track workouts. It can track your heart rate, sleep, and blood oxygen, plus it sports built-in GPS. It has an IP68 water-resistance and a 5 ATM rating, and 16 days of battery life. Motorola did not share pricing, but this wearable will arrive sooner in the “coming weeks.”
The Razr, Razr+, and Razr Ultra will be available for preorder starting May 7, and they officially go on sale May 15.
