Motorola Razr Fold Beats $1,500 Razr Ultra After 1-Month Test

3 articles · Updated · ZDNet · Jun 4

Summary

  • A month of testing led ZDNET to pick Motorola's 2026 Razr Fold as the better overall foldable, ahead of the Razr Ultra despite the Fold's higher $1,900 starting price.
  • An 8.1-inch inner display, triple 50MP rear cameras and steadier sustained performance drove that choice, with the Fold topping 9,100 in Geekbench multicore and throttling less under heavy loads.
  • The Razr Ultra still stood out for portability and media use: its 199g flip design, 7-inch main screen, Dolby Atmos audio and $1,500 price make it the more compact, cheaper option.
  • Both phones ship with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, but the comparison frames Motorola's 2026 lineup as a trade-off between the Fold's productivity and camera edge and the Ultra's style and convenience.
