Foldable devices are no longer a novelty—they’re quickly becoming a major part of the next wave in smartphone evolution. Leading that shift, Motorola is stepping forward with the new Razr 60 Ultra and its lineup, blending the charm of classic flip phones with modern innovation. It’s a smart fusion of nostalgia and cutting-edge technology, proving that old-school design and futuristic features can work together seamlessly rather than compete.
Style Meets Substance
Motorola’s partnership with Pantone goes beyond պարզապես adding trendy colors—it’s about making design a core part of the overall experience. With the Razr 60 Ultra, you’re not just getting a phone that looks good; you’re getting one that feels thoughtfully crafted. It comes in a range of premium finishes, from soft vegan leather to wood-inspired textures and even suede-like Alcantara, giving each device its own distinct personality.
The color options help reinforce that identity. Standard models feature shades like Gibraltar Sea, Spring Bud, Lightest Sky, and Parfait Pink, while the Ultra steps things up with more refined choices such as Scarab (an olive suede finish), Mountain Trail (wood grain), and Rio Red (leather-inspired). But it’s not all about aesthetics—there’s serious durability underneath. An aluminum frame, a hinge reinforced with titanium strength, and Gorilla Glass Victus—upgraded to ceramic on the Ultra—combine to give the phone a sturdy, premium feel that’s built to last.
Displays That Steal the Show
Unfolded, the Razr 60 Ultra boasts a 7-inch OLED screen with razor-thin 2992 x 1224 resolution and an ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. The base Razr is still impressive with a 6.9-inch screen at 120Hz. Both reach eye-popping levels of brightness, but the Ultra’s 4,500 nits peak makes it one of the brightest screens available, readily visible in full sun.
Outside, the cover display maintains the flip phone personality. The Ultra’s 4-inch, nearly edge-to-edge panel encircles the dual cameras, transforming the front into a practical mini-dashboard. The standard Razr’s 3.6-inch cover screen is slightly more compact but remains roomy enough for brief interactions without opening the phone.
Power Under the Hood
Performance is where the Ultra earns its “flagship” moniker. It’s driven by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite, along with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, and it glides through demanding apps and games. Benchmarks reveal it’s almost three times as fast as the regular Razr, which is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400X. The base model is more than sufficient for everyday tasks, but the Ultra is designed for those who demand maximum speed and multitasking power.
Camera Hardware That Means Business
Both phones begin with a 50MP primary lens with optical stabilization, but the Ultra’s larger sensor ensures lower-light captures and softer background blur. The Ultra also features a 50MP ultrawide and 50MP front camera—serious hardware for phone photography. The regular Razr offers a 13MP ultrawide and 32MP front camera. Video maxes out at 8K 30fps on the Ultra and 4K on the regular model.
AI-editing apps, such as Google’s Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur, allow one to easily refine shots on the phone. Motorola’s Moto AI brings intelligent capabilities such as text summarization, content-aware search, and even image generation, driven by a combination of Microsoft, Google, and other AI engines.
Battery Life That Keeps Pace
Foldables have a bad rep for poor battery life, but Motorola is pushing back. The Razr 60 Ultra has a 4,700mAh battery, while the standard Razr packs a slightly smaller 4,500mAh silicon-carbon cell—both bigger than some competitors. Charging is rapid, too: the Ultra charges via 68W wired and 30W wireless charging, reaching 80% in some 30 minutes. The standard Razr handles 30W wired and 15W wireless speeds.
Software Smarts
Both phones ship out of the box running Android 15 with Motorola’s Hello UI overlaid on top. The look and feel is nearly stock Android but with truly useful additions, such as the Moto AI assistant. Remember This, Pay Attention, and Catch Me Up make the phone a productivity companion, making it easy to capture, transcribe, and summarize information at your fingertips. Three significant OS updates and a fourth year of security patching are what Motorola guarantees.
A Top Contender in the Foldable Market
The Razr 60 Ultra competes head-to-head with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip series and Xiaomi’s Mix Flip lineup. With an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance and a titanium-reinforced hinge, it feels ready for everyday life, while still being more delicate than a standard slab phone. For those who miss the tactile satisfaction of snapping a phone shut, it’s a joy. For everyone else, it’s simply a stylish, forward-looking alternative to the usual flagship fare.
Price and Positioning
Motorola is aiming at various consumers with its foldables: the Razr 2025 begins at $699.99, the Razr+ at $999.99, and the Ultra at $1,299.99 (with the 1TB Ultra now priced similarly to the base). The Ultra is for consumers who are willing to spend the most on a Motorola foldable; the regular model is more basic and budget-friendly.
The Razr 60 Ultra is more than a retro comeback—it’s a declaration that foldables are potent, useful, and enjoyable all at the same time. Motorola isn’t only following the foldable curve; it’s forging it.
