Motorola’s newest foldable lineup now includes three devices, including a top-tier Razr Ultra that brings considerable upgrades, but also a much higher price point.

Launching in May, the Motorola Razr Ultra will join the Razr (2025) and Razr+ (2025) as the most capable and expensive foldable the company offers. The device shares virtually the same form factor as the Razr+ (2024) with a 4-inch outer display and a slightly larger 7-inch inner display (the result of smaller bezels), but it packs several key upgrades.

That starts with the chip, which is the Snapdragon 8 Elite. The 3nm chip is paired with 16GB of RAM, which Motorola is using to power its Moto AI suite of features which are a big focus of this new lineup. You’ll also get 512GB or 1TB of storage, a bigger 4,700 mAh battery, and faster charging at 68W wired and up to 30W wireless.

Motorola is also upgrading durability on this new lineup, with an IP48 rating that includes low-level dust resistance as well as a “stronger” hinge that, in our hands-on testing, feels much better than prior generations.

Cameras are another upgrade of the Ultra device, with a trio of 50MP sensors. One of those is the selfie shooter on the inner display, while the rear-facing cameras include a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP ultrawide with a 122-degree field-of-view which also doubles as a macro camera.

The last new change you’ll find is the “AI Key,” which opens Moto AI features that are powered by Gemini, Meta AI, OpenAI, and Perplexity. Features include “Catch Me Up” for notification summaries, “Next Move” which suggests ways to use AI features (by using AI to create suggestions based on what’s on screen), “Playlist Studio” which generates a music playlist based on a topic, and “Image Studio” which is basically a run-of-the-mill AI image generator. You’ll also get “Group Shot,” which works similarly to Google Pixel’s Best Take.

Colors – an aspect of Motorola’s phones that the company is continually putting more attention on – include Rio Red, the wood-backed Mountain Trail, Cabaret, and the Alcantara-backed Scarab.

Razr Ultra is pre-loaded with Android 15, and Motorola has committed to 3 years of Android OS updates and 4 years of bi-monthly security updates.

Motorola says that the Razr Ultra will be available for pre-order on May 7, and start shipping in the US on May 15. Retailers include Amazon and Best Buy, while AT&T and T-Mobile will be carrying the device. Pricing lands at $1,299.99, though the ongoing tariff situation may affect this if/when the smartphone exclusion ends, as has been mentioned.
