The verdict, up front

The first 5G Razr.

Razr 5G (2020) was the modern Razr's second swing — same iconic flip silhouette, now with 5G — at a not-quite-flagship price. The tiny battery and Snapdragon 765G kept it nostalgia-priced, not performance-priced; as the bridge to today's Razr+ line it deserves catalogue space.
