The Verdict

Moto G84 delivers exceptional value at $279, pairing a vibrant 6.55-inch 120Hz P-OLED display with 1300 nits brightness against the Razr 2023's pricey $699 foldable format. The G84 edges out with a larger main screen, faster refresh rate for everyday scrolling, and superior battery capacity at 5000 mAh versus the Razr's modest 3800 mAh. Snapdragon 695 handles daily tasks admirably, though the Razr's Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 offers 15-20% better performance and supports 4K video recording compared to G84's 1080p output. Razr's 64 MP main camera with PDAF and OIS technically outperforms the G84's 50 MP setup, yet both produce competent photos in good light. The Razr's unique folding design with cover display justifies premium positioning for those wanting cutting-edge novelty, but it sacrifices practical battery life and physical durability for form factor. G84 benefits from Wi-Fi 5 adequacy, while Razr's Wi-Fi 6E connectivity adds future-proofing. For most users prioritizing performance, battery endurance, and screen quality, Moto G84 offers substantially better value and reliability. Razr suits those willing to pay 2.5 times more for foldable prestige and slightly better computational power.
