If you intend to keep a flip phone closed while changing a playlist or replying to a message, the cover panel deserves as much attention as the inner one. On the 2025 razr ultra it measures 4 inches, and Motorola couples it with its flagship processor and 16 GB of memory.
In depth
Motorola razr ultra (2025) review

Best forPeople who want a flip phone with a genuinely usable cover screen and substantial local storage.
At a glance

- Up to 165 Hz
- Processor
- Snapdragon 8 Elite
- Storage / RAM

- Rear cameras

- Battery capacity
- 4,700 mAh (typical)
Pros
- The large cover display can handle short tasks without opening the hinge.
- The 512 GB version has the same 16 GB of memory as the higher-capacity option.
Cons
- The camera system uses wide and ultrawide lenses, with no dedicated telephoto.
- How you set the display refresh policy materially affected endurance in a published test.
Display
- 4-inch outer pOLED
- 7-inch inner AMOLED
- up to 165 Hz
The outer panel is the useful place to adjust framing with the rear cameras or check a short message. The 7-inch foldable display is where editing a longer response is comfortable. Max refresh matters most for movement and requires content fast enough to take advantage of it.
Cameras
- 50 MP wide
- 50 MP ultrawide
- 50 MP front
A wider group selfie is a good use of the outer preview. Someone standing at the edge of the group can see whether they fit before the shutter fires. For distant shots, cropping a wide image is your option; the Ultra name here does not buy a dedicated zoom lens.
Battery & Charging
- 4,700 mAh
- up to 68 W wired
- 30 W wireless
Tom’s Guide reported 15 hours 42 minutes in its battery test using the default Smart and Balanced refresh mode. In the efficiency-focused mode, the same test lasted 18 hours 57 minutes. 1 That gives you a useful choice for a travel day, although navigation, video capture and weak reception create different loads.
Performance & Storage
- Snapdragon 8 Elite
- 16 GB RAM
- 512 GB or 1 TB
A collection of offline games or locally edited video can make 512 GB worthwhile. Motorola also documents a 1 TB version through its own store. Both share the same memory capacity, so paying for the larger one primarily buys space rather than more headroom for open apps.
Alternatives
The regular 2025 razr preserves the folding design with a 3.6-inch cover screen and 256 GB. Compare it if the big draw is propping up a phone for calls. Buyers who need an optical telephoto should look at a conventional camera-focused phone before spending more for this flip design.
Verdict
Choose the Ultra when the external display will see daily use and large local files justify its storage. If the cover mostly acts as a clock, the less expensive standard razr delivers much of the reason to own a flip.
