Motorola launches $1,500 Razr Ultra foldable with upgraded display and battery

Motorola unveiled the 2026 Razr Ultra, a premium flip‑style foldable smartphone priced at $1,499.99. The device features a Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, a 5,000‑mAh battery claimed to last up to 36 hours, and dual high‑resolution 50 MP cameras. Both the 4‑inch pOLED cover screen and the 7‑inch inner AMOLED display sport 165 Hz refresh rates, HDR10+ support, and peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits on the main panel.

The reviewer praised the Razr Ultra’s design, pocketability, and “gorgeous” display, but noted the steep price and occasional sluggishness in the lower‑spec Razr+ variant. Upgrades over the previous model include a slimmer profile, a textured back panel, a larger battery, and a brighter, higher‑resolution screen. The review suggests consumers seek carrier deals or trade‑in offers to offset the cost, given recent price hikes driven by AI‑related memory shortages.
