Motorola RAZR 2026: What You Need to Know

Summary

Motorola's latest RAZR flip phones are here, and they're building on last year's success. The company captured 44% of the North American foldable market, driven largely by its flip phone sales. After a year with the previous RAZR Ultra, its hardware proved surprisingly durable, withstanding numerous drops and everyday use, though charger compatibility and Bluetooth issues were noted. While the camera performed well for stills, video remains an Android-wide challenge, and software updates were slow, causing some cover screen usability regressions. The new RAZR models offer updated colors and materials, including a quilted Alcantara option, and the Ultra boasts a brighter display and a larger battery. However, price increases are across the board, with the Ultra now costing $1,500. Motorola also announced its first RAZR Fold, priced at $1,899, but its market impact is uncertain. Ultimately, this year's RAZR line represents an evolution rather than a revolution, suggesting Motorola believes its current strategy is working in the competitive foldable market.
