Name: Motorola razr ultra (2026)
Brand: Motorola

A flip phone earns its hinge every time you leave it closed. The razr ultra has enough room outside for directions and a quick reply, then opens into a tall 7-inch phone for the longer conversation. Its two rear cameras also face you when the cover display serves as the viewfinder.

Displays

4-inch cover AMOLED
7-inch inner AMOLED

Consider the last thing you did at a bus stop. A track change takes a tap. An address may take several lines and a map. The cover can handle both, but it buys more convenience on the first task. Tom’s Guide found the displays clear outdoors and liked the grip of its blue sample. The Cocoa finish uses wood veneer, so that impression belongs to the blue phone. ¹

Battery & Charging

5,000 mAh
68 W wired
30 W wireless

In its rundown, Tom’s Guide measured 16 hours 20 minutes. In a separate charging test it reached 74 percent in half an hour. Both are better guides to a busy travel day than assuming the outside screen always saves power. Reaching the rated charging speeds also takes compatible equipment. ¹

Cameras

50MP main
50MP ultrawide/macro
50MP inner selfie camera

Using the rear cameras with the phone folded gives the person in the picture a way to check framing. The ultrawide is the useful second perspective for fitting friends into a picture at arm’s length. For sport or a performance at the far end of the room, the absence of a separate long lens is a meaningful trade.

Design & Durability

199g
7.19mm open
IP48

At 199g, the razr packs a 7-inch screen into a shape that gets shorter but thicker when you close it. The hinge and inner screen are worth considering if you carry keys, sand or debris in the same pocket. The outer glass and IP48 rating offer some protection, but the solid-particle rating does not certify a dust-tight enclosure.

Performance & Storage

Snapdragon 8 Elite
16GB RAM
512GB storage

The US ultra pairs a Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage in both finishes. Choosing wood veneer or the textured blue finish changes what your hand touches while leaving the same processing hardware inside.

Connectivity & Software

Nano-SIM and eSIM
USB 2.0
Three OS upgrades, five security years

A nano-SIM and eSIM offer flexibility when moving a line to the razr. It supports Wi-Fi 7, but its USB-C port uses USB 2.0 for data, worth knowing before moving a large video library by cable. Motorola specifies three OS upgrades and five years of security updates for the 2026 ultra, a separate part of its long-term value from the hinge and battery.

Alternatives

The previous razr ultra uses the same Snapdragon 8 Elite. An owner satisfied with its cover screen has little reason to change for processing alone. The 2026 Plus lasted 14 hours 13 minutes in the same publication’s test, a more relevant distinction if long days away from an outlet are routine. ¹

Verdict

Choose the ultra if the outside display will carry part of your day. Its battery and grip support that use. Someone who opens the phone to read or type almost every time will get less for the cost of the folding design.
