Earlier in the year, Motorola teased multiple new Razr and Moto phones, with much of the attention directed at the Razr Fold. I've been eagerly awaiting more news on the other devices. And just a few weeks ago, we finally got it when the company officially revealed the rest of the 2026 Razr series, which consists of the base model, the Razr+, and the Razr Ultra as the new flagship.

Based on everything Motorola shared, the Razr Ultra is shaping up to be a solid foldable. Motorola made multiple hardware improvements that I think will give the top foldables on the market a real run for their money, like the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung's device is one of the top Android phones, boasting a larger cover display, a sleeker form factor, and much better battery life than its predecessor.

I recently attended a Motorola event in Hollywood where I had the opportunity to try out the 2026 Razr Ultra. Based on my first-hand experience, Motorola's upcoming foldable could outperform the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in several areas. While my time wasn't enough to warrant a full review, I've broken down the biggest differences below for users split between the two devices.
