Motorola reveals 2026 Razr lineup with modest upgrades and higher prices
Ars Technica • • general
Key Points:
- Motorola is launching four foldable devices on May 21, 2026: the Razr Fold tablet-style phone and three flip-style phones—Razr Ultra, Razr+, and Razr—with modest upgrades and price increases due to rising component costs.
- The Razr Fold, Motorola’s first tablet-style foldable priced at $1,900, features a large 8.1-inch inner display, 6,000 mAh battery, stylus support, and competitive specs, positioning it alongside premium foldables from Google and Samsung.
- The three flip phones range from $800 to $1,500, with improved cameras, larger silicon-carbon batteries, and enhanced AI features integrating Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity, though privacy concerns arise due to multi-platform data processing.
- All devices run Android 16 and will receive five years of security patches and three OS updates, which is less than the support offered by Samsung and Google foldables.
- Availability varies by model, with the Razr Ultra initially sold only by Motorola, Razr+ launching on AT&T and later T-Mobile, and the base Razr having the broadest carrier support including Verizon and Google Fi.
