Base Motorola Razr 2026 Wins Recommendation Over $1,500 Ultra After Testing 3 Models

Summary
Testing all three 2026 Razr phones, Android Authority said the base Razr is the clear buy for most users because it delivers much of the same foldable experience for hundreds less.
A roughly $700 gap versus the Razr Ultra did not bring a major everyday performance drop in social media, texting, browsing and medium gaming, while the base model still offers dual 50MP cameras and battery life into a second day.
The Razr Ultra was praised for its Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16GB RAM and premium finish, and the Razr Plus for its 4-inch cover screen, but both were judged harder to justify for typical buyers.
Price increases this year were downplayed because Motorola frequently discounts its foldables; the reviewer expects the base Razr to fall to $700 or less soon and potentially $600 on Black Friday.
