Motorola's 2026 flagship foldables are among the most impressive devices I've tested this year.

In one corner, you have the Razr Fold, a no-compromise foldable phone that, in some areas, outclasses Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. The fusion of powerful hardware, versatile triple-camera system, and expansive inner display transforms the Razr Fold into a mini tablet.

In the other corner, you have the Razr Ultra, a premium flip phone that packs flagship hardware into a more compact form factor. What's great is that the Ultra doesn't play second fiddle, boasting unique features the Razr Fold lacks.
