Motorola Launches Razr Ultra 2026 at $1,499 as Minimal Upgrades Undercut Value
9 articles · Updated · Android Central · May 21
$1,499 puts Motorola's new Razr Ultra 2026 $200 above last year's model despite keeping the same design, displays and Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
Upgrades are limited to Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, a brighter main screen and a new 50MP LOFIC camera sensor, leaving the price increase as the headline change.
Around $700 can buy a new Razr Ultra 2025, which offers nearly the same hardware at roughly half the price, though it has only two years of Android upgrades left.
$1,099 Galaxy Z Flip 7 emerges as the clearest rival, undercutting Motorola by $400 while offering a thinner build and up to seven years of Android support.
The higher sticker price also pushes the Razr Ultra 2026 into competition with pricier foldables and premium slabs, including Motorola's $1,899 Razr Fold and Samsung's $1,299 Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Is a new camera sensor enough to justify the Razr's $1,499 price when it still uses last year's processor?
Why does Motorola's durable new Razr have a software lifespan four years shorter than its main rivals?
