Motorola's Razr foldable phones debut with minor changes, higher prices
30 Apr 2026


Motorola has unveiled its updated Razr series for 2026, comprising three models: the flagship Razr Ultra, mid-range Razr+, and budget-friendly Moto Razr.

The company has kept most of the specs unchanged from last year's models but increased their prices.

The new devices will be available in the US starting May 21 and can be pre-ordered from May 14.


Razr Ultra costs $1,500
Flagship features


The Razr Ultra, Motorola's flagship model, comes with a steep price tag of $1,500. This is $300 more than last year's starting price and a whopping $700 hike from the discounted rate of its predecessor.

The phone packs a bigger battery (5,000mAh) and new color options: an Alcantara-textured "Orient Blue" and "Cocoa," which combines last year's wood-like finish with a darker brown hue.


Other changes in the flagship model
Design enhancements


The Razr Ultra features a new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on its outer 4.0-inch display, instead of the standard Gorilla Glass Ceramic used last year.

The brand has also dropped the 1TB model that was recently discounted on Motorola's own website for just $800 with a free pair of earbuds.


What about the Razr+?
Model similarities


The Razr+ (2026) is almost identical to its two direct predecessors, featuring the same 6.9-inch and 4.0-inch displays, a two-year-old Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor, and similar storage and RAM configurations.

The only major changes are a larger battery (4,500mAh), a new green "Mountain View" color with a "woven-inspired jacquard finish," Gorilla Glass Victus on the front panel, and an ultrawide shooter instead of its telephoto lens.


Moto Razr is now more powerful
Budget model


The base Moto Razr has seen some major changes this year, both good and bad.

It swaps processors from MediaTek's Dimensity 7400X to the newly-announced 7450X, bumps up the ultrawide lens to 50MP from last year's 13MP, and adds support for a smoother outer screen at 120Hz (alongside its own Victus upgrade).

The battery capacity also increases to 4,800mAh with four color options: Hematite, Violet Ice, Sporting Green and Bright White.
