Like clockwork, Motorola is back with a new set of Razr phones are folding. The process is the same like last yearwith three smartphones that vary in price: Razr Ultra, Razr+, and Razr. But aside from these models, Motorola is introducing its original style folding phoneRazr Fold, that is it was first teased at CES 2026.
The company announced the new handsets at an event in Los Angeles, where it also revealed the new Moto Buds 2 Plus wireless earbuds that look remarkably like Apple’s AirPods Pro, but in blue; this will sell for $150 and will be available on April 30. Unfortunately, all Motorola’s folding devices are increasing in price, according to what we see. from competitors like Samsung. The Razr Ultra is $1,500, the Razr+ costs $1,100, and the Razr starts at $800—that’s $200, $100, and $100 more expensive than its predecessors, respectively. The new Razr Fold costs $1,900, coming in between Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7.
Pre-orders for both phones begin on May 14, and they go on sale on May 21. Here’s everything you need to know.
Flippy Razrs
The new 2026 Razr phones see minor bumps and no major changes in hardware or design. The Razr Ultra’s internal display is now slightly brighter, with a maximum brightness of 5,000 nits. Motorola is also showing off a new “Extreme AMOLED” panel for these Razrs, though it appears to be a marketing stunt. By limiting the brightness of the images on Ultra, these phones still have 10-bit screens with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support and hit 100 percent of DCI-P3 color gamut like their predecessors.
There is one strong improvement with the Razr Ultra: It’s the first phone to use Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the exterior display, which Motorola says offers a “75 percent better reduction” over previous devices. The Razr+ and Razr have Gorilla Glass Victus on the exterior screens, just like last year. The phones still have only IP48 water resistance, so they are not as dusty as normal phones. Motorola says the Razr’s base is the only foldable phone with a MIL-STD 810H rating, meaning it’s been tested to meet tough standards, such as high temperatures and high temperatures.
Motorola is not shy to play with shapes and colors, although this year’s crop of Razrs doesn’t seem to have the same opportunities as the 2025 models. The Razr Ultra has an Alcantara design in Orient Blue, or you can grab them in Cocoa and natural wood. The Razr+ has a simple jacquard finish, and the base of the Razr adds a leather-inspired acetate.
