These new Razr 2026 phones see very minor spec bumps and no drastic changes to the hardware or design. The Razr Ultra’s internal display is now a bit brighter, reaching a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. Motorola is also touting a new “Extreme AMOLED” display panel for these devices, though that seems to be largely a marketing term. Except for the screen brightness improvement on Ultra, these phones still feature 10-bit displays with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support and up to 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut Like their ancestors.

There’s one durability improvement with the Razr Ultra: It’s the first phone to use Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the outer display, which Motorola claims delivers 75 percent better performance than previous devices. The Razr+ and Razr have Gorilla Glass Victus on those external displays, as was the case last year. The phones still only have an IP48 water resistance rating, so they’re not as dust-resistant as standard smartphones. Motorola says the Basic Razr is the only foldable phone with a MIL-STD 810H rating, meaning it’s been tested to meet a specific set of durability standards, such as high altitudes and extreme temperatures.

Motorola isn’t shy about playing with textures and colors, though this year’s range of Razrs doesn’t seem to have the same range of options as the 2025 models. The Razr Ultra features an embossed Alcantara finish in Oriental Blue, or you can get it in Cocoa with a natural wood veneer. The Razr+ features a simple jacquard finish, and the Razr Base adds to that with leather and acetate-inspired finishes.
