Motorola was nothing if not patient before adding AI features to its Razr and Edge lineups. It sat by, letting Google and Samsung take the lead on things like Circle to Search, image generators, and more, before adding Gemini to the Razr (2024) series and beta testing Moto AI features at the end of last year.

Now, though, Motorola is all-in. It’s made features like Remember This and Catch Me Up part of the Razr’s Moto AI menu and made room for AI-powered assistants — oh, so many AI-powered assistants. In fact, I’m starting to worry that it’s going too far in the opposite direction, putting AI over everything else on its new Razrs, and here’s why.

These days, most phones come with one assistant onboard, maybe two. Google’s Pixels come with Gemini, Apple’s iPhones come with a slowly improving version of Siri, and Samsung’s Galaxy devices use a slightly confusing mix of Bixby and Gemini. You can install others like ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Copilot, but they’re not the defaults.

With Motorola, however, there seems to be an idea that more is better. Its Razr now lineup ships with Gemini set as the default assistant and Copilot, and, for the first time, Perplexity is optimized for both the small, square cover screen and the internal display. There’s also Moto AI itself, which covers everyday features like the Image Studio, Playlist Studio, and Pay Attention, along with the Razr Ultra exclusive Look and Talk — confused yet? Yeah, same.
