Motorola’s latest Razr Ultra proves that its flip foldable format has evolved to become more than just a nostalgic gimmick. I’d understand if you’re not interested in shelling out $1,499.99 for the 2026 model, but the similar 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra with 512GB of storage is a much more palatable $699.99 unlocked at Best Buy (was $1,299.99) in all colors, while just the green color is available at this price at Amazon. Those may not feel as luxurious in the hand as the 2026 model’s Alcantara finish, but it looks nearly identical and now costs hundreds less. The discount brings it within range of some of our favorite budget-friendly smartphones.
You aren’t making many compromises by opting for last year’s version instead of getting the new one. In fact, some of its internal hardware is the same, including its Snapdragon 8 Elite, which is still snappy and performant, and aided by 16GB of RAM. The 2025 model offers fast 68W wired charging and 30W wireless charging. If you want better camera performance, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 costs around $1,000, but it’s missing the Razr Ultra’s charming design.
