Introduction and specs
The revitalized Motorola Razr series makes a return exactly a year later, along with a new family member – the Motorola Razr Fold. But that’s a subject for another review.
The Razr 70 Ultra, which is also known as the Razr Ultra 2026 for the North American market, doesn’t stray away too much from its predecessor with little to no changes to the hardware. Motorola feels confident enough with its last year’s flagship flip phone, so with just some minor tweaks, it’s good to go against the 2026 competition. Which, to be honest, is still limited in the US and Europe.
The handset still relies on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, although the lack of a chipset upgrade doesn’t bother us at all. This is a powerful flagship SoC from 2025 to begin with, so the performance jump to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 doesn’t seem justified considering the form factor.

The display configuration is roughly the same as before – 7.0-inch foldable OLED on the inside and a 4.0-inch OLED on the outside.
There are no notable changes to the camera either, 50MP main camera aided by a 50MP ultrawide shooter and a 50MP selfie camera on the inside.
Perhaps the most noteworthy change is the battery capacity – Motorola bumped it up by 300 mAh this year, and the phone now carries a 5,000 mAh cell. It still supports 68W wired and 30W wireless charging.
Despite the modest upgrade this year, Motorola still hiked the price in some markets, potentially pushing some customers toward the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7. Let’s check out how the new Razr 70 Ultra performs in our full review.
Unboxing the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra
In Europe and in the USA, the retail package is modest as it contains only the usual quick start guides and a USB-C to USB-C cable used for charging and data transfer. Our unit in Europe also came with a stylish, faux leather protective case that matches the handset’s design.

To get the most out of the device’s charging rate, you should buy Motorola’s 68W USB PowerDelivery charger, or a compatible third-party one.
