Motorola Razr 60 & Moto Buds Loop Brilliant Collection Launch in India
Motorola is bringing a bit of sparkle to the Indian smartphone scene—literally. Starting September 1, 2025, Indian buyers will get their hands on the new Brilliant Collection: the Motorola Razr 60 and Moto Buds Loop, each decked out with genuine Swarovski crystals and launching exclusively in that oh-so-cool Pantone Ice Melt finish. It might sound fancy, but there’s heart behind the hardware—these aren’t just pretty faces, they’re also clever little gadgets ready to turn heads in a sea of cookie-cutter tech.
Let’s start with the Razr 60. In India, the regular version retails at Rs. 49,999 for the 8GB RAM, 256GB storage model. If you’ve ever found yourself bored with “just another foldable,” the anticipation for this crystal-studded variant is palpable. Under the glitz, it’s still packing the punchy MediaTek Dimensity 7400X chip, a generous 4,500mAh battery that supports both 30W wired and 15W wireless charging (seriously, I lose chargers daily; having either option is a real-world blessing). The screen is a 6.9-inch pOLED LTPO foldable affair—sharper and brighter than your most optimistic Instagram filter—paired with a 3.63-inch cover display that’s actually useable, not just for show.
I once swore off flip phones after my trusty pre-smartphone Motorola met an untimely end at the bottom of a swimming pool. But there’s some sort of nostalgia (and, dare I say, status?) that comes with flipping open the Razr. The camera setup has the goods too: a 50MP main shooter, a 13MP ultrawide, and a pretty generous 32MP front camera—solid stats, but more importantly, it feels right in the hand and in those mirror selfies that, let’s be real, are half the fun of a foldable.
The Moto Buds Loop, meanwhile, are making the leap to India with the same air of exclusivity. Globally, they launched at $299 (about Rs. 26,000) in that Pantone French Oak shade, but the Indian version is all about the crystal-embellished Ice Melt. It almost feels like Motorola’s having a little fun with luxury—these aren’t your dad’s office earbuds. Tuned by Bose (don’t sleep on that branding; listening to a podcast on Bose-tuned buds actually feels like an upgrade), they’re also supposed to last up to 37 hours on a single charge. I can barely keep my eyes open that long, so battery anxiety isn’t even on the table. Throw in CrystalTalk AI for calls and Moto AI voice features, and you have a stylish, practical set of buds that’s not just about looking pretty at brunch.
If you’re comparing the new Brilliant Collection with the existing Razr 60 or Buds Loop, the core specs haven’t really changed. It’s more about the experience—the Pantone Ice Melt colorway is uniquely classy (Instagram stories, here we come), and the crystals do catch light in a way that’s genuinely eye-catching without feeling gaudy. Word on the street is that initial quantities might be limited, so if you’re a sucker for shiny tech or just want your pocket gear to get noticed at the café, it might be wise to jump on Flipkart early.
Sometimes it’s easy to roll your eyes at special editions. But honestly, in a world where every new phone starts to look the same, the Razr 60 and Moto Buds Loop Brilliant Collection are welcome outliers. My neighbor once said all tech these days is “just glass sandwiches”—he hasn’t seen this much sparkle on a phone since the bedazzled BlackBerry era (pour one out for the QWERTY days). This launch feels playful, premium, and—here’s the real kicker—kind of personal. If Motorola’s aim was to get noticed, the blingy yet thoughtfully designed Brilliant Collection might just pull it off.
