Motorola Razr 70 Ultra Launches at $1,499.99, Extending Battery Life Despite Sparse Upgrades

3 articles · Updated · T3 · Jul 6

Summary

  • $1,499.99 in the US and £1,199.99 in the UK, the Razr 70 Ultra is now on sale as Motorola’s 2026 flagship flip phone, priced $200/£100 above its predecessor.
  • 5,000mAh battery capacity—up from 4,700mAh—drives the biggest meaningful upgrade, delivering all-day life and faster 68W wired and 30W wireless charging in the same-sized body.
  • 4.0-inch cover display remains a standout, with fuller app and notification access than Samsung’s Z Flip 7, while the 6.96-inch main screen and Pantone-led finishes keep Motorola’s design edge intact.
  • Snapdragon 8 Elite hardware is unchanged from the prior model, leaving the higher price harder to justify for upgraders even with a brighter main display and new 50-megapixel LOFIC main camera.
  • Three Android OS upgrades and five years of security support, plus bloatware and intrusive AI features, temper what the review still calls one of the best flip-phone experiences available.
