Can I use a Motorola Razr 2024 case on a Razr 2025?

You would think it's the exact same phone, but it's not

Let's go a little more in-depth about the Motorola Razr 2025 and its last-gen counterpart, the Razr 2024. Both devices have the exact same measurements, and they even weigh the same. With the Plus models, it's the same thing. Both the Razr Plus 2025 and the Razr Plus 2024 have matching dimensions.

It's not always true that these factors determine whether you can use the same case on both phones though. After all, Samsung is notorious for changing camera lens positions or button placement just enough that you can't use an older case on a newer phone model. However, Motorola didn't go down that path and we are thankful for it.

The Motorola Razr 2025 and the Motorola Razr 2024 are mirror images of each other, as are the Razr Plus 2025 and Razr Plus 2024, except for the color options (and of course the internals are completely different, but that doesn't matter here). Everything from the button placement to the location of the cameras is identical. This is what makes it possible for you to use a Razr 2024 case on the newer Razr 2025.

In fact, most smartphone case manufacturers that cater to Motorola didn't even bother to release new cases made specifically for the Motorola Razr 2025 or Razr Plus 2025. As far as I've seen, a good 80% to 90% of them have just renamed their pre-existing product listings for Razr Plus 2024 or Razr 2024 cases to include the Razr Plus 2025 or the Razr 2025.

This isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Manufacturers don't need to make a new mould to make new cases for the latest Razr model, so the price stays the same. And since the Razr 2024 lineup is already old now, those cases are cheaper than they were at the Razr 2024 launch.

This means all Razr 2025 and Razr 2025 Plus owners have access to a cheaper and much more diverse and wider assortment of cases than they would if they had bought another newly launched phone, like the Pixel 9a. The cherry on top is that it's good for the environment too, since you can reuse your old case should you choose to upgrade. Everybody wins.

What about the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025?

As it turned out, Motorola introduced a third new model with the Razr 2025 series. The Razr Ultra 2025 is a new entrant to the Razr family, so there's no last-gen version of it.

In case you're wondering whether you can use the Razr Plus 2024 or 2025 case on the Razr Ultra 2025, let me stop you right there. The dimensions are slightly off, so none of the Razr Plus covers will fit it.

Apart from the difference in measurements, the Razr Ultra 2025 also deviated from the Razr and Razr Plus models of 2024 and 2025 in button placement. The volume buttons of the Razr Ultra 2025 are situated on the right side of the phone instead of the left. So even if you wanted to use a soft malleable case for the Razr Plus 2025 or 2024 on the Razr Ultra 2025, it could never work.
