Paris Hilton on building a business empire as the original influencer
Paris Hilton's evolution from reality TV to product partnerships and media ventures has relied on ensuring every new venture is authentic to her and her lifestyle, she told Axios' Sara Fischer in Cannes. Why it matters: Hilton was the original influencer and has continued to grow her brand and businesses over decades of fame. "I think everyone loves that I've always stayed true to myself. People first got to know me through 'The Simple Life' and the character I was playing, which was a lot of fun," Hilton said. Zoom out: Hilton has expaded her brand into new categories: Razr+ phone: She recently partnered with Motorola to launch a Paris Hilton edition of the iconic 00's flip phone she helped popularize. Hilton's 11:11 Media houses a portfolio of global media brands which span television, film, books, fragrances, fashion, skin care and more. The company did an animated series called " Paris and Pups" last year that will be published by Scholastic as a new children's book series. As a "sliving" mom — a portmanteau of "slaying" and "living your best life" she coined in 2019 — she has a kid's clothing line at Walmart and will be launching toys and products for children. Between the lines: After releasing the "This is Paris" documentary in 2020, Hilton said she's found "power in being vulnerable and being real and talking about things that are difficult." The documentary touches on childhood trauma, the reform schools she attended meant to curb her teenage rebellion and the glare of growing up in the spotlight. "That's the first time where I really peeled back the layers and showed that there was much more to me than this character, and now people are connecting with me in an even deeper way," she said. What's next: Besides launching new products, Hilton said she'll be following in her family's footsteps and getting into the hotel business.

The affordable Motorola Razr (2024) foldable drops to an irresistible price at $200 off
If the Motorola Razr (2024) felt like a compelling value proposition at $100 off its $699.99 list price a couple of weeks ago (because it most certainly was precisely that), I'd love to hear your thoughts on Best Buy's enhanced $200 discount available right now with no strings attached. No, you don't need to trade anything in or activate the mid-range foldable device on a specific carrier to lower its price to a seemingly unbeatable $499.99 in your choice of Koala Gray or Beach Sand colorways. And although the Razr Plus (2023), Razr Plus (2024), Razr Plus (2025), and Razr Ultra (2025) are all massively discounted at the time of this writing too, this might just be the best foldable deal available... before Prime Day next month. $200 off (29%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, MediaTek Dimensity 7300X Processor, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 3.6-Inch AMOLED External Screen with 1066 x 1056 Pixel Resolution, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Single Selfie Snapper, 4,200mAh Battery with 30W Charging Capabilities, Koala Gray and Beach Sand Color Options Buy at BestBuy $200 off (29%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 8GB RAM, MediaTek Dimensity 7300X Processor, 6.9-Inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED Display with 2640 x 1080 Pixel Resolution and 144Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 3.6-Inch AMOLED External Screen with 1066 x 1056 Pixel Resolution, 50 + 13MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 32MP Single Selfie Snapper, 4,200mAh Battery with 30W Charging Capabilities, Three Color Options, Trade-In Required ($100 Discount Available Without Trade-In), Free Razr Strap Case Included Buy at Motorola It's enough to take a quick look at our in-depth Motorola Razr (2024) review to fall hopelessly in love with this bad boy, which sports an almost shockingly large 6.9-inch primary AMOLED display and a pretty impressive 3.6-inch second screen as well. Granted, the MediaTek Dimensity 7300X processor is no match for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powering Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 6, and although they look more than decent on paper, the 50 and 13MP rear-facing cameras don't exactly deliver the best real-life performance. But let's not forget that the aforementioned Z Flip 6 is normally priced at $1,100 and up and very rarely available for less than $950... while sporting smaller screens than the $499.99 Razr (2024). Motorola's ridiculously affordable one-year-old flip phone also packs a hefty 4,200mAh battery equipped with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging technology, not to mention that the design is pretty much as stylish and the build quality as premium as what the costlier Razr Plus (2024) and Razr Plus (2025) have to offer. In short, it's hard to think of a logical reason to snub this phenomenal new Best Buy deal... unless, of course, you want to trade in your existing mobile device, in which case you can get both a $200 discount and a free strap case on Motorola's official US website.

Affordable, adorable, and imperfect: How the Motorola Razr stole my heart
Just the other day, I had the pleasure of reviewing the mid-range Motorola Razr (2025), and the verdict was rather clear: it's a bargain phone that cuts the right number of corners to achieve its super-affordable price tag that make it an appealing buy. It's perfectly clear that's precisely what other manufacturers need to do to bolster the sales of their foldable phones. But the Razr isn't just a clamshell foldable with a colorful design language and just little to no party tricks: it's a fairly decent mid-range phone that doesn't run away from its inherent nature: it wears its heart on its sleeve and is easily the one phone you should try out if you've been curious about foldables but didn't want to splurge on the more premium specimens. What exactly makes the Moto Razr (2025) a good phone despite the humble specs? It's simple, really: this device is the most affordable way to experience foldable phones instead of going all-in on a Galaxy Z Flip 6 or its successor. I know, these are by no means a new device category, but even more than half a decade since we saw the first devices hit the shelves, foldables are definitely more of a rarity rather than common. Foldable simply are not as common as the tech blogosphere tries to persuade us. As per the latest intelligence reports, the market penetration of foldable phones exactly a year ago was just 1.5%, and I can't imagine it has grown immensely since then. And while it's true that experiencing the low-cost version of something doesn't really deliver the ultimate experience, it can very well create a grounded foundation for your expectations. The experience of using the Motorola Razr isn't really indicative of what an Oppo Find N5 or a Huawei Mate XT feel like, true, but this value-for-money trooper will still successfully show you whether foldables are worth it in the first place. Starting at $700, the Motorola Razr (2025) already sets a fairly low bar for your expectations. While it's true that great phones exist at even lower price points, seeing the price tag here immediately soothes your desire to criticize and find faults. And faults, there are many here. Don't expect the best camera, just a pair of wide and ultrawide snappers that will get the job done but nothing else; video isn't great either. But what's probably the biggest issue with this phone and one of the bigger corners that have been cut is the chipset and its unimpressive performance. That's the key part here, as while you might not have to capture masterpieces with the camera every day, you will have to suffer the consequences of the modest MediaTek chipset paired with the slow storage inside. Gaming and heavier multitasking simply aren't enjoyable here. I tried playing some Balatro, which is not a perfect port that makes even seasoned Android flagships warm to the touch, the experience here was just not good: the phone got too hot, frames began dropping towards the endgame, and the overall experience was suboptimal, and let's not mention the immense battery life drop-off. The same applies to other 3D games I tried: they run, but you will quickly understand that this is by no means a gaming phone. What's there to like, then? It seems that all the core aspects of a good phone are disappointing here, right? Well, no. It has a lovely display with just a slight crease, which is absolutely normal for any foldable, no matter the brand or the model. It's moderately pronounced, but not distractingly so, making it a non-issue. At the same time, the screen is bright and vivid. And the outer screen is quite useful. You can pin multiple apps to it and not only check notifications and control most features of the phone, but also use those apps on the tiny outer screen. Sure, it's hardly as useful as the outer screens on the book-style foldables out there, but none of those can match the ultra-compact size of this Motorola either. Just flip the video and gaming results and the two are fairly comparable The design is also something I didn't know I'd like so much. There's this stigma around clamshell flip phones. It feels as they are perceived as more feminine and are often marketed towards women because why wouldn't a man want to use a larger foldable device? Well, damn whoever raises that point with me again, as using a compact flip phone like this one showed me that foldables shouldn't tear holes in your pockets. A compact device like this one just blends so seamlessly with my daily usage that I struggled to let it go and return to the other daily-driver slab of monstrosity I'm using right now. I'm not a die-hard Motorola fan and never have been, but this Motorola Razr almost converted me. It's perfectly aware of its shortcomings and doesn't try to hide them away, which made the overall experience so much better. If you've ever talked yourself out of trying out a foldable phone , give this one a spin: it doesn't cost a fortune and will show you that this phone category is more than ready for the prime-time.

Motorola Razr 2025/Razr 60 in for review
Say hello to the Motorola Razr 2025, the "entry-level" folding phone from Moto for the North American market that is known as Motorola Razr 60 elsewhere. But there's nothing entry-level about the way this one looks and feels. Shipping in four unique PANTONE colors with different finishes, the Razr 2025 costs $700 and is available in a single 8/256GB configuration. The box includes a USB cable. You get a choice of the PANTONE Gibraltar Sea with a nylon finish on the back, PANTONE Spring Bud and Parfait Pink with a leather finish, and our Lightest Sky, which has an acetate finish. It's a unique-feeling finish and has a bright, pearl-esque color that matches it nicely. A sort of pearlescent finish on the back Paired with the soft, rounded edges, the Razr 2025 is very pleasant in the hand and stands out, even in this least impressive color we have. For some time now, Motorola has understood that a phone is more than specs and features. Moto phones are among the prettiest around, especially in their clamshell folding lineup. Given that Motorola truly made the form factor fashionable back in the day, it's no surprise the company is leading the same revolution these days, too. On a similar note, the Razr 2025 is IP48 rated for some dust protection and full water protection. Motorola Razr 2025 Looks aside, the Razr 2025 is more than well-specced for its price. It has a 3.6-inch 90Hz cover AMOLED screen, a 4nm Dimensity 7400X SoC, and a dual camera system with a 50MP 25mm f/1.7 wide angle camera, and a 13MP ultrawide. There's also a 32MP selfie on the inside. Speaking of, the folding display is a plentiful 6.9-inch 120Hz LTPO panel. The phone feels snappy and responsive. It ships with Android 15 under Motorola's very stock Android experience. Capping things off, there's a 4,500mAh battery with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging. That's around 200mAh less than the Razr 60 Ultra, but that phone tips the scales at 199g, whereas this Razr is a more manageable 188g.
