Foldable phones may be niche, but Motorola’s Razr lineup stands out as one of the best foldable phones Leader in this category. With fun colors, Various textures Clamshell phones are a popular choice for people looking to get away with more Mobile designs are predictable. We’ll likely see the next generation of Razr phones later this month, hopefully with some major upgrades that can help the devices stand out even more.
the Razr Ultra It is Motorola’s most distinctive clamshell display. Last year’s model had a 4-inch display, a 7-inch internal display, two 50-megapixel rear cameras (plus a 50-megapixel selfie camera), and a large 4,700 mAh battery. As CNET’s Patrick Holland said, the 2025 Ultra was also “underpricing” at $1,300. But these top-notch features make it A worthy competitor To $1100 for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7another popular option in Foldable phones space.
Motorola is doubling its production of foldable devices with the imminent release of its first book-shaped phone, the… Razr Fold. With a sleek design and impressive 6,000 mAh battery, it’s likely to give Samsung a run for its money in yet another foldable segment compared to the foldable segment. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Inevitably flowing. The Razr Fold is scheduled to launch in North America this summer.
In the meantime, we’ll likely learn more about the 2026 Razr Ultra as we get closer to its expected spring release date. This gives me some time to imagine what I’d like to see Motorola add to its premium foldable phone to make it a stronger contender in an increasingly competitive space.
A lower price would be great
Phones are expensive, and foldable phones are much more expensive Why do so many people avoid getting one In the first place.
The 2025 Razr Ultra’s $1,300 price tag is steep, even if it’s a great phone with an impressive 512GB of storage. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 isn’t much better at $1,100 for 256GB of storage, but that’s still a saving of several hundred dollars. (Motorola has it now Last year’s Razr Ultra was discounted to $800presumably to liquidate inventory before upcoming releases.)
It would be great if Motorola made the Razr Ultra’s pricing more competitive not only against the Z Flip 7, but also against other premium phones. This might tempt more people to dip their toes into the folding waters if they’re on the fence. Yes, there are more affordable options like the base 2025 Razr and Razr Plus, but the Razr Ultra is about the same price as Samsung’s top-of-the-line phone. S26 Ultra A force that is difficult to justify.
As phones have evolved, their prices have also become more expensive – and that’s without… Lack of RAM Which also threatens to raise prices. Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus Start at $100 more than last year, though the base model now comes with a higher base storage level of 256GB. I hope Motorola stays away from finding reasons to raise the cost of its phones as well.
More years of software and security updates, please
Part of the reason the Razr Ultra’s $1,300 price tag was so hard to swallow last year is that the phone only came with three years of software updates and four years of security updates. Compare that to seven years of software and security updates for the Galaxy Z Flip 7, and it’s hard not to feel a little lacking with the Razr Ultra.
Most premium Android phones, foldable or otherwise, come with seven years of support. In fact, even Motorola’s upcoming Razr Fold will have an extended support timeline. It’s time for Razr clamshell phones to join the bandwagon. This is especially true of the expensive Razr Ultra.
Bring back the slim design of the OG Razr
Well, that’s just a pipe dream, but still Thin phone madness sweeping the mobile phone industry, it’s not entirely impossible. What made the original non-smartphone Razr phone stand out most was its elegance, and it would be great to see the Razr Ultra adopt a similar style Thin design.
Samsung slimmed down its book-style Galaxy Z Fold 7 just last year, but I’d like to think that clamshell phones like the Z Flip 7 and Motorola Razr will one day see a similar evolution. It may not happen this year, but I’ll be happy if it does. It is worth noting that Motorola issued Edge 70 In global markets last year to compete with other thin phones including Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge barrage iPhone Airso it is possible that the general scheme will appear in future Razr clamshell phones.
I’m not getting my hopes up, though. OnLeaks and XpertPick were reportedly accessed CAD renders of this year’s Razr UltraWhich seems a little thicker than last year’s phone. While the 2025 Razr Ultra measures around 15.7mm folded and 7.2mm unfolded, renders suggest the upcoming phone could measure 15.8mm folded and 7.8mm exposed – a difference that’s hard for people to notice. But this is still not the direction I would ideally like to see.
The slightly larger dimensions may be a result of using more camera hardware or a larger battery. These would be welcome updates, so a thicker phone isn’t too bad a trade-off. But it would be great if we could have it all: improved battery life, and more powerful cameras and Thinner phone. I will keep dreaming until (I hope) it comes true.
