15% of voters backed the Razr 70 Ultra, but the poll’s overall verdict was that all three new Motorola flip phones need discounts before most buyers would consider them.
Prices of $1,500 for the Ultra, $1,100 for the Plus and $800 for the base model drew the strongest criticism, especially because Motorola pairs them with older chips and limited software support.
Motorola’s stated support window in the UK and Germany—up to 3 OS upgrades and 5 years of security patches—left voters worried the phones will age faster than similarly priced flagships, while the US offers no clear promise.
Older Razr models also undercut the new lineup: Motorola US still sells the 2025 Razr Ultra with 1TB storage for $800, matching the new base model, while Europe has seen the Razr 60 Ultra fall to €650.
With better older models still for sale, has Motorola released the worst value foldable of 2026?
As Apple and Samsung advance, is Motorola's confusing Razr strategy a fatal misstep in the foldable war?
