Motorola Razr Ultra Costs $1,499.99, Adds Minor Upgrades Over 2025 Model

3 articles · Updated · Boy Genius Report · Jun 12

Summary

  • $1,499.99 buys Motorola’s top 2026 flip phone, but the review says the gains over the 2025 Razr Ultra are modest despite a $200 price increase.
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16GB of RAM and an unchanged design leave performance and hardware largely flat year over year, while Motorola’s 5,000-nit display claim translated to about 3,000 nits in testing.
  • A 5,000mAh battery, up from 4,700mAh, delivered the best endurance in the 2026 Razr lineup at roughly 31 hours of video playback, and the new LOFIC main camera improved dynamic range.
  • Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 is $400 cheaper at $1,099.99, while slab phones at similar prices offer better cameras, displays and longevity, leaving the Razr Ultra positioned as the best flip phone rather than the best value.
