Since reviewing the new Motorola Razr in September, I've been asked two questions more than any other. The first is: How is the new Razr different from the one that came out in February? That answer remains unchanged: The new one has a refined build and design, support for 5G , 2020 specs, new cameras and a bunch of useful enhancements to the external display. The second question I get is: When can I buy one? That one, finally has a good answer: You can buy the new Motorola Razr 5G as of today, Oct. 2. Even better, you can save $200 to $700 for a limited time.
Here are the key deals.
At AT&T, if you trade in an eligible device, get an unlimited data plan and purchase the Razr on a monthly installment plan, you can get some truly huge discounts. Port your number and service over to AT&T, and get the Razr for half off and pay just $700. If you're an existing AT&T customer, add a line to get a $400 discount or upgrade your phone to get up to $300 off.
It's worth noting that AT&T is the only carrier that will carry the Liquid Mercury color Razr. It's the same color as the original Motorola Razr V3 from 2004.
T-Mobile is also doing a $700 discount in the form of 24 monthly bill credits. You have to activate a new line and trade-in an eligible device. If you don't add a new line but just trade in a phone, you can still get $400 off the Razr.
