In the natural order of things, “thou shalt pay more to see fewer ads.” Netflix is living by that code pretty seriously. Naturally, it has hiked the price of its Standard and Premium plans, too, ones that spare you the…

So, don’t expect it to feel any different in hand compared to last year’s Razr 60 Ultra. And visually…
