Motorola teams up with top AI players for its 2025 Razr lineup, creating one of the most versatile AI experiences on smartphones yet.

Motorola has officially unveiled its 2025 Razr lineup—and it’s not just the premium Alcantara fabric or foldable design grabbing attention. The big story? Moto AI. But unlike other smartphone makers, Motorola isn’t betting on just one AI. Instead, it’s integrating multiple top-tier AI platforms into its devices, taking a unique "Swiss Army knife" approach.

In addition to its own Moto AI features, Motorola is partnering with major AI players including Perplexity, Meta’s Llama, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini. This multi-AI model doesn’t just offer users variety—it aims to redefine how we interact with AI on smartphones by allowing each service to shine in its own context.

“We’re not trying to recreate what Android already offers,” said Allison Yi, Motorola’s North American Product Portfolio lead. “Our goal is to add unique, smart layers on top of that, giving users fast access to the AI they prefer.”

The Razr Ultra, priced at $1,300, headlines the new range and comes with a dedicated Moto AI button. Here’s how the integrated AI services work:

• Perplexity AI handles search and planning requests, even functioning when the phone is off.

• Meta’s Llama AI powers the “Catch Me Up” feature, summarizing notifications and chats for faster replies.

• Microsoft Copilot acts as an advanced search tool.

• Google Gemini, accessible via the power button, steps in for general smart assistant needs.

In addition to its AI partnerships, Motorola continues to improve its native features. The Photo Enhancement Engine uses raw file data and AI to boost photo quality, especially in low-light conditions. Users also get a Signature Style mode for personalized color correction and tone adjustment, powered by contextual AI analysis.

The Next Move feature stands out as a game-changer, suggesting next steps based on screen activity—like planning transit to a movie theater after checking showtimes—all without hopping between multiple apps.

This modular AI integration gives users the flexibility to explore and discover what they want AI to do for them. And with AI fatigue growing among consumers, Motorola’s background-first approach could help smooth adoption. As CNET’s Abrar Al-Heeti notes, "Once AI works seamlessly in the background, people will stop resisting and start embracing it."

Whether this experiment pays off remains to be seen. But if Motorola can refine this blend of services, the Razr 2025 may not just fold—it might flip the script on how AI fits into our daily mobile lives.
