Partnering with Swarovski, Motorola has created a foldable phone and earbuds that marry tech with high-end style. The Brilliant Collection is the name of this new lineup and it includes the Motorola RAZR 2025 and Moto Buds Loop, both in Pantone Ice Melt and adorned with Swarovski crystals.
The Motorola RAZR 2025 isn’t a new phone in terms of hardware—it’s the same base model released earlier this year with a 3.6-inch cover display, 6.9-inch foldable AMOLED main display, MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor, 4,500 mAh battery and 50-MP main camera. But the exterior? That’s where the magic happens. The back panel has a leather-inspired finish with a 3D quilted pattern, painted in a cool, light blue Pantone Ice Melt color—a color that pops like frosted glass. Thirty-five Swarovski crystals are hand-placed across the surface, 31 of which are dotting the rear in a rhomboid pattern and a larger, 26-facet crystal on the hinge. Even the volume keys get a crystal-inspired sparkle, turning a functional detail into a subtle showpiece. A premium crossbody case in Ice Melt comes along to keep the phone safe and stylish.

Then there’s the Moto Buds Loop, the open-ear earbuds Motorola introduced earlier this year. These aren’t your typical earbuds—they sit outside the ear canal, so you can stay aware of your surroundings while delivering audio powered by Bose. The Brilliant Collection version swaps the original French Oak colour for Ice Melt, matching the RAZR. Swarovski crystals line the curved loop of each bud, making them look more like jewellery than tech. They’re comfortable for long wear, perfect for jogging or commuting and the sound quality holds its own against pricier competitors. If you were to buy these separately they’d cost $300 so bundling them with the $700 RAZR for $1,000 feels like a deal—those crystals are essentially a free upgrade.
Motorola didn’t just add crystals to a phone and call it a day. The quilted texture, the chosen colour and the placement of each crystal shows a level of thought that takes the RAZR from gadget to statement. It’s still a fully functional foldable phone with a great display and solid performance but now it’s also a conversation starter. The same goes for the Buds Loop—they deliver great audio and are an accessory you’d wear to a gallery opening. This isn’t about specs; it’s about creating something that feels personal, like an extension of your style.
Motorola’s history of fun collaborations—Pantone colorways, Alcantara finishes or even a Paris Hilton-branded RAZR Plus—shows it knows how to make tech feel fresh. The Brilliant Collection is the first in what Motorola calls its “Collections” series, a promise of more curated, limited-edition drops that pair tech with artistry. Unlike some luxury tech experiments that feel like novelties, this one keeps its footing by sticking to the base RAZR instead of the pricier RAZR Plus or Ultra. It’s a smart move, keeping the price accessible while still delivering a premium vibe.
Availability is limited and Motorola’s playing that card hard. The Brilliant Collection launches globally but quantities are capped and the company’s urging buyers to register on its website for a shot at getting one.
