When you buy a smartphone in 2025, it’s often rare that you pay the full MSRP of the phone you’re looking at. Between trade-in deals, price discounts, store credits, and more, virtually every smartphone brand is always running some kind of promotion on its Android handsets.
For years, Samsung has been one of the best at this game. Even for phones that are still in the pre-order phase or have just recently launched, it’s not uncommon to find Samsung throwing in free storage upgrades, discounts on a smartwatch if you buy it with your new phone, etc., etc.
But Motorola has quietly been catching up to Samsung in this regard for a while, and with its latest Razr Ultra promotion, Motorola has finally beat Samsung at its own game.

However, that changed this week with a new deal for the Motorola Razr Ultra.
Right now on Motorola’s website, you can buy a 1TB Razr Ultra for the same price as the base 512GB storage model plus get a free Moto Watch Fit smartwatch with your order. That’s a total value of $400 in savings, and that’s without trading in your old phone — where Motorola is currently offering an extra $200 on top of your phone’s normal trade-in value. So, if you traded in a 128GB iPhone 15 Pro, you could get a 1TB Razr Ultra (plus the Moto Watch Fit) for just $650 — a combo that would normally cost $1,700.
