I test a lot of Android phones, and the software looks the same on most of them. There's a home screen, a standard background, and icons that are all the same shape and size. After a while, that gets boring, so sometimes, I like to switch things up. One advantage of having an Android phone is the operating system's flexibility.

The 2025 version of the Motorola Moto G Stylus offers a better display, a swifter processor, and a more protective waterproof rating than its predecessor, all for the same $399.99 price. The standout feature remains its embedded stylus, which is now paired with AI features, including Sketch to Image and a Handwriting Calculator.

The 2025 Motorola Razr ($699.99) is an attractive and feature-rich folding phone that keeps its price in check by dialing back some of the specs available to its high-end stablemate, the $1,299.99 Razr Ultra. Its inner and outer displays are bright and useful, its compact clamshell design slides comfortably into your pocket, and its long battery life helps get you through the day. But it isn't very powerful, its cameras are so-so at best, and its AI tools aren't the smartest.

The Motorola Razr Ultra (starting at $1,299.99) seamlessly blends the appealing, pocketable design of an old-school flip phone with the performance of today's top smartphones. We really like its excellent inner and outer screens, class-leading battery life, impressive performance, and solid connectivity options. That said, we wish its cameras were sharper, its AI a little more inspired, and that Motorola would provide a longer support window.

The Gabb Phone 4 Pro ($199.99 plus monthly service) is a customized Android phone that gives teens basic communication tools while providing parents with peace of mind. Young people can make calls, send texts, and video chat with approved contacts, while parents can monitor the content of conversations and track the phone's location. While parents might feel good about giving this phone to their kids thanks to its tight controls, teens will likely find it woefully restrictive.
