Motorola has unveiled three new flip phones in its razr lineup for 2026, named the razr ultra, razr+, and razr. These devices are bound to draw in the attention of young consumers as their designs feature bold Pantone colors, as well as luxe materials like Alcantara fabric, natural wood veneer, woven-inspired jacquard finishes, leather-like textures, and acetate. The razr ultra, for example, is available in Orient Blue with an embossed Alcantara finish and Cocoa with a wood veneer.
Motorola's razr flip phones offer external displays ranging from 3.6 to 4.0 inches that allow users to run full apps, send messages, and play games without opening the phone, while the internal displays measure up to 7.0 inches. Camera systems include a 50MP LOFIC sensor on the ultra model that captures six times more dynamic range. AI-powered features such as Group Shot blend multiple frames so nobody has closed eyes in the photo.
