6 secret Motorola Razr 2025 features that will save your battery life

While Android OEMs have been trying their best to cram in more battery into smartphones, and have even switched to different battery types like silicon-carbon batteries on the new OnePlus phones, Android users still complain about battery life. Battery is an even bigger issue on devices like foldable phones, which have not only one but two screens to power, with limited physical space to fit a battery.

The Razr (2025) is Motorola’s latest flip-style foldable and comes with a 4,500 mAh cell. If you’re frustrated with the battery experience on your Motorola foldable and want better performance, this guide shows how to improve the battery life of the Moto Razr 2025 so you won’t face unnecessary drain.

Check what’s draining your battery

Battery stats often reveal the real culprit

The Google Play Store offers a lot of useful apps and games, and naturally, we download many apps on our Android phones. However, many times, these apps are the culprit. Some apps may have bugs that keep them running in the background or use excessive system resources, which leads to more battery drain.

For instance, Instagram’s app on Android was recently found to have an issue causing major battery drain, though the bug has now been fixed. Thankfully, you can quickly check what’s using the most battery on your Razr 2025. If there’s an issue with a particular app, you can try reinstalling or updating it. Here’s how to check:

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Battery.
3. Tap Battery usage and check which app is using excess battery.

Let Adaptive Battery do the thinking for you

Learns your usage and saves power where it can

On that note, you can also let your Razr automatically manage the battery for apps you don’t use often by enabling the Adaptive Battery setting. This feature learns which apps are used less frequently and limits their battery usage. However, Moto notes that notifications from these apps might be slightly delayed since they won’t always run in the background. Here’s how to enable it:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Battery.
3. Scroll down and select Adaptive Battery.
4. Turn on the toggle.

Set Battery saver to turn on automatically

Don’t wait until you’re at 10% to use it

One of the simplest ways to extend the battery life of your Moto Razr 2025 is by using the built-in Battery saver mode. It disables the high refresh rate, turns on dark theme, and limits background activity of apps that consume more battery.

You can even schedule the battery saver to turn on during parts of the day, like when your phone is idle on your desk at work, to conserve battery. Moreover, you can enable Maximum battery saver mode, which disables 5G and pauses all non-essential apps and notifications. Here’s how to set up the battery saver mode on your Razr:

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Battery.
3. Tap Battery saver.
4. From here, schedule Battery saver or enable Maximum Battery Saver.

Enable Optimized Charging overnight

Protect long-term battery health

A part of your battery not performing like it did when new may be due to battery health. Charging your phone multiple times a day, leaving it plugged in overnight, and repeatedly charging and recharging can degrade your battery over time. This reduces the battery’s ability to hold the same charge it once did.

To help prevent this, you can enable Optimized charging on your Razr 2025. This feature learns your usage habits and charging routine — for example, if you typically charge overnight. In that case, it charges the phone to 80%, then completes charging to 100% just an hour before you usually unplug. This efficient charging method helps extend battery health over time. It’s recommended to keep this feature enabled. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to Battery.
3. Tap Optimized charging and toggle it on.

2

Lower the refresh rate when you don’t need 120Hz

High refresh looks nice, but drains quick

Just like any modern Android flagship, the Razr 2025 ships with capable internal and cover displays. Both support high refresh rates, making content appear smooth and fluid. However, high refresh rates also consume more battery. To conserve battery life, consider lowering the refresh rate on your Razr 2025:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Display.
3. Select Display refresh rate.
4. Choose Standard to reduce the refresh rate to 60Hz.
5. Optionally, you can enable the High refresh rate setting when gaming for better graphics.

Adjust brightness and screen timeout settings

Small tweaks that make a big impact fast

One of the simplest ways to conserve battery on your Moto Razr 2025 is by tweaking a few display settings, in addition to changing the refresh rate of the device. Using high brightness can drain your phone’s battery much faster. If you don’t want to adjust brightness manually each time, consider enabling Adaptive Brightness via Settings > Display > Adaptive Brightness.

Similarly, while you’re in Display settings, consider lowering the screen timeout (the time before the display turns off when idle) so the screen stays off more often and doesn’t use battery unnecessarily. To adjust this, go to Settings > Display > Screen timeout and select your preferred time. Ideally, set it to one minute or less.

These tricks will make your Razr 2025 last longer

These are some of the ways you can get the most battery life out of your Moto Razr 2025. You can also consider restricting the background processes of apps you don’t often use to improve the battery life of your smartphone even better, but the settings mentioned above should be more than enough for getting solid battery life.

In addition to these settings, there are other settings you can try on your Moto Razr 2025, like customizing the outer cover display and using Moto Connect, which can turn your Razr 2025 into a desktop machine to further improve your experience and help you get more out of your foldable.
