The company announced the new phones at an event held in Los Angeles, where it also revealed a new pair of Moto Buds 2 Plus wireless earbuds that look eerily like Apple’s AirPods Pro, but in blue; It will retail for $150 and will be available on April 30. Unfortunately, all of Motorola’s foldable flips are getting price increases, in line with what we’re seeing from competitors like Samsung. The Razr Ultra costs $1,500, the Razr+ costs $1,100, and the Razr starts at $800, representing price increases of $200, $100, and $100 over its predecessors, respectively. The new Razr Fold costs $1,900 and falls between the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7.
Pre-orders for all phones start on May 14, and they will go on sale on May 21. Here’s everything you need to know.
Flippy Razr
These new Razr 2026 phones see very minor spec bumps and no drastic changes to the hardware or design. The Razr Ultra’s internal display is now a bit brighter, reaching a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. Motorola is also touting a new “Extreme AMOLED” display panel for these devices, though that seems to be largely a marketing term. Except for the screen brightness improvement on Ultra, these phones still feature 10-bit displays with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support and up to 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut like their predecessors.
There’s one durability improvement with the Razr Ultra: It’s the first phone to use Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the external display, which Motorola claims delivers “75 percent better performance” compared to previous devices. The Razr+ and Razr have Gorilla Glass Victus on those external displays, as was the case last year. The phones still only have an IP48 water resistance rating, so they’re not as dust-resistant as standard smartphones. Motorola says the Basic Razr is the only foldable phone with a MIL-STD 810H rating, meaning it’s been tested to meet a specific set of durability standards, such as high altitudes and extreme temperatures.
Motorola isn’t shy about playing with textures and colors, though this year’s range of Razrs doesn’t seem to have the same range of options as the 2025 models. The Razr Ultra features an embossed Alcantara finish in Oriental Blue, or you can get it in Cocoa with a natural wood veneer. The Razr+ features a simple jacquard finish, and the Razr Base adds to that with leather and acetate-inspired finishes.
