Summary
$1,499 puts Motorola’s Razr Ultra 2026 under value pressure, with the review calling its upgrades too modest to justify a $200 jump from last year’s $1,299 model.
16 hours 20 minutes of tested battery life, a 5,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery and a brighter 2,322-nit main display stand out as the phone’s clearest gains, alongside improved low-light camera performance.
Snapdragon 8 Elite remains unchanged from the prior model and is described as two generations behind newer flagship chips, while Motorola’s software adds little beyond existing AI tools.
A free bundle of Moto Buds Loop and Moto Watch—worth $398—softens the increase, but the review says the offer may be temporary and the phone still looks expensive against cheaper premium flagships.
Motorola’s own discounting of the 2025 Razr Ultra to $799 further weakens the new model’s case, making the older version the better buy for cost-conscious foldable shoppers.
