Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 Camera Improves Across 200 Photos as 50MP Setup Still Shows HDR Flaws

Summary

  • Across 200 test photos, the Razr Ultra 2026 delivered generally strong results, with reviewer Celso Bulgatti calling the camera system good overall despite some lingering issues.
  • A new LOFIC main sensor helped preserve highlight detail and handle high-contrast scenes—especially in bright sunlight and golden-hour shots—while Night Vision also showed clear improvement.
  • Three 50-megapixel cameras—wide, ultrawide and selfie—remain largely unchanged from the 2025 model, and the phone still lacks a dedicated telephoto lens, though 2x and 3x zoom shots were often decent.
  • Image processing remains a weak point: the phone applies heavy sharpening and oversaturated colors, and several HDR shots showed odd haloing around trees that Bulgatti said Motorola could potentially fix with software updates.

Is Motorola's revolutionary camera sensor being crippled by its own flawed photo processing software?
Why did Motorola choose a niche sensor over the telephoto lens that dominates the market?
