Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 Review: Brighter Screen, Bigger Battery, $200 Price Jump

The Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 is the company's newest flip-phone flagship, and reviewers agree it is a good phone held back by how little has changed since last year. A $200 price jump makes that lack of change harder to overlook.

Display
The Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 has a 7.0-inch folding main screen at 2992x1224 with a 165Hz refresh rate and Pantone-validated colour, plus a 4-inch cover display on the outside. Peak brightness now reaches up to 5,000 nits, one of the brighter panels on any flip phone.

Battery and charging
Motorola fits a 5,000mAh battery using silicon-carbon technology and claims up to 36 hours of use on a charge. Charging is 68W wired and 30W wireless, and the phone supports reverse charging for accessories.

Performance
The Razr Ultra 2026 runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage on Android 16. That hardware keeps performance fast and matches what you would expect from a phone in this price bracket.

Cameras
The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP selfie camera. Reviewers note the photos are improved over older Razr models, though the system is not the main reason to buy this phone.

What reviewers think
Coverage from outlets like Android Central calls it a strong but familiar device. The performance, cameras, and all-day battery earn praise, but the small step up from the 2025 model paired with the higher price makes it hard to recommend over the older version.

Price and rating
The 512GB Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 costs $1,499, up about $200 from its predecessor. It carries an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance, so it handles splashes but is not built for full submersion.

Should you buy it
If you are coming from an older flip phone, the brighter screen, larger battery, and faster chip make the Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 an easy upgrade. If you already own the 2025 model, the case for switching is weak, and shoppers on a budget may find last year's version at a lower price the smarter pick. The hardware is strong; the value is the sticking point.
