I tested Motorola's $1,500 Razr Ultra, and it's so close to being my dream flip phone
The 2026 Razr Ultra is a flagship flip phone with a design that closely resembles the previous generation. After hands-on testing, the differences become clearer through improved performance, better efficiency, and longer battery life compared with the 2025 model. The phone’s seven-inch Extreme AMOLED display is Pantone Validated for accurate colors and supports HDR10+ for strong dynamic range. A 165Hz refresh rate enables exceptionally smooth, lag-free animations. Audio performance is a major strength, with stereo speakers fine-tuned with Dolby Atmos and support for Spatial Audio. The result is immersive sound with stronger bass and clearer, fuller audio output.
"On the inside, the phone boasts a large seven-inch Extreme AMOLED that is Pantone Validated (meaning it produces highly accurate colors) and supports HDR10+ for excellent dynamic range. Together, these features ensure consistently strong visual output. On-screen animations were exceptionally smooth thanks to the 165Hz refresh rate. Everything looks fluid and responsive, with no noticeable lag."
"A big part of what makes the Razr Ultra so good for multimedia is the audio system. I found it even better than the Razr Fold's system, delivering richer, fuller sound. The Ultra model has stereo speakers fine-tuned with Dolby Atmos and the ability to output Spatial Audio. These two features work together to create an immersive bubble of sound. The bass is superior, too, giving the audio output a nice punch."
"The 2026 Razr Ultra is a meaningful upgrade over the 2025 model, delivering better performance, improved efficiency, and longer battery life, among other enhancements. On the surface, it appears nearly identical to the previous generation, sharing much of the same design and aesthetic language. Once I dug in and experienced what the phone can do, the differences became clearer."
