Motorola's 2026 Razr Ultra maintains its distinctive aesthetic with minimal upgrades. The foldable phone jumps to $1,499, up $200 from the previous generation.

The new Razr Ultra adds a new main camera sensor and slightly larger battery, but leaves the core design intact. The wood-finish back panel returns, now accompanied by a new suede-like Alcantara option in orient blue. Motorola has not announced significant performance improvements or software features for the refresh. The price increase positions the device at a premium tier despite incremental hardware updates. The phone maintains Motorola's commitment to distinctive industrial design in a market dominated by similar-looking devices. The Alcantara finish represents the primary aesthetic change for users seeking a different look from the standard wood option. Availability and regional pricing have not been confirmed.
