The Razr Ultra (2026) sits at the top of Motorola’s Razr family, above the Razr+ (2026) and the Razr (2026). This page gathers the facts Motorola publishes on its US product page, explains what they mean for the cable and charger you buy, and points to repair resources. Every figure is traced to a source listed at the bottom of the page. Where Motorola’s page says nothing, we say so instead of filling the gap.

The display rows describe the large inner screen. The Qi standard is not named on Motorola’s page, so the wireless row shows the wattage only. The iFixit rows are blank because we could not verify an iFixit device page for this phone.
Where does the Razr Ultra (2026) fit?
Motorola’s US lineup page lists three Razr families next to the Edge and Moto G phones: the Razr Fold, the Razr Ultra (2026), the Razr+ (2026) and the Razr (2026). The Ultra’s product page opens with the line “Performance goes iconic” and calls it the most powerful Razr ever. An excerpt of Motorola’s launch announcement says it was available to pre-order on May 14 and on sale unlocked on May 21, 2026, at an MSRP of $1,499.99. We could not load that announcement page directly, so treat the date as unconfirmed until we can (see our review notes).
Motorola’s phones do not appear in the sales rankings we cite, so the Razr Ultra (2026) ranks thirty-first in our library as part of Motorola’s current lineup, which Motorola lists on its US smartphones page. See the Motorola hub for the family. For another flip phone from a different maker, see the Galaxy Z Flip8.
What cable does the Razr Ultra (2026) use?
The phone has a USB Type-C port, and Motorola’s specification row reads “USB Type-C (USB 2.0)”. USB 2.0 is the slowest of the USB generations, which means the cable and port are fine for charging and for moving a few files, but they will not give the speed of a USB 3 port; see the USB speed guide. The USB-IF says USB products run at the lowest common speed, so a faster cable will not speed up a USB 2.0 port. Motorola’s components list names a USB Type-C cable. For a spare, read cable buying safety and our USB-C explainer.
What charger does the Razr Ultra (2026) need?
Wired. Motorola lists wired charging of 68W and says 68W TurboPower charging gives power for the day in 8 minutes. That is a marketing claim with footnoted conditions, so treat it as a best case. The components list names no power adapter, so you must supply one. Motorola’s accessory menu lists a TurboPower 68W charger, and the USB charging standards that matter for any charger are explained in USB Power Delivery and PPS. Motorola does not say which of those standards its TurboPower adapters follow on the page we read, so check the charger’s own specification, and read the wattage guide.
Wireless. Motorola lists wireless charging of 30W and reverse charging of 5W. It does not name the wireless standard on the page, so we do not say the phone is Qi or Qi2. The Wireless Power Consortium explains the Qi family in its guide, and our Qi2 explainer and wireless charger guide help you compare. For a checklist, read which charger is safe for my phone.
The screens, explained
A flip phone has two displays, and Motorola lists both as Extreme AMOLED panels.
- Main display: 7.0 inches, 1224 x 2992 (1.5K), 165Hz, a peak brightness of 5,000 nits (500 default), ultra thin glass, 22:9 aspect ratio, 10-bit color, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and 100% DCI-P3.
- Cover display: 4.0 inches, 1272 x 1080, 165Hz, a peak brightness of 3,000 nits (500 default), Corning Gorilla Glass-Ceramic 3.
Motorola lists Pantone Validated color on the main display only, and Water Touch, an always-on display and SGS low blue light and low motion blur certification on both. AMOLED is a kind of OLED panel, so we list the type as OLED. Motorola does not use the LTPO label for the Ultra’s screens, unlike the Razr+, so we do not claim adaptive refresh. For what 165Hz means in use, see the refresh rate guide.
Size, weight and build
Motorola lists the closed phone at 88.12 x 73.99 x 15.69 mm and the open phone at 171.48 x 73.99 x 7.19 mm, with a weight of 199g. It lists IP48 water protection and a premium build, with Pantone colors Orient Blue and Cocoa that use Alcantara and natural wood veneer finishes. The cover display glass is Gorilla Glass-Ceramic 3. Motorola’s page footnotes explain the IP48 test conditions, so read them before you take the phone near water.
Performance, cameras and battery
The Razr Ultra (2026) uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, an octa-core CPU that Motorola says reaches up to 4.47GHz on a TSMC 3nm process, with an Adreno 830 GPU. It lists 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM plus RAM Boost of up to 16GB additional, 256GB or 512GB of storage, and Android 16. Battery size is 5,000mAh, a lithium polymer cell with a silicon-carbon anode, and Motorola says it lasts over 36 hours on a single charge.
Motorola lists a 50MP wide camera with a LOFIC sensor (f/1.8, 85-degree field of view, 1/1.56-inch sensor, optical image stabilization), a 50MP ultrawide (f/2.0, 122 degrees) and a 50MP front camera (f/2.0). Video recording formats go up to 8K at 30 frames per second, with 4K at 60. The page highlights Flex View, which lets you prop the phone and use the main camera as a selfie camera.
Software and connectivity
Motorola lists Android 16, a side fingerprint sensor and face unlock, NFC, dual SIM with one nano SIM and an eSIM, Wi-Fi 7 (backward compatible down to Wi-Fi 5), and 5G sub-6 band support for the US. It lists voice control through Google Gemini and Moto AI features such as “Catch me up.” We did not find a software update policy on the page, so we do not state one.
Motorola’s page also lists US carrier compatibility. It marks T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and many prepaid brands as compatible, and it marks Xfinity Wireless, Ting and Republic Wireless as not compatible. Carrier lists change, so check with your carrier before you buy.
What is in the box
Motorola’s components list names a USB Type-C cable, guides and a SIM tool. No power adapter is listed, so a TurboPower or other USB charger is a separate purchase.
Repair overview
We could not verify an iFixit device page for the Razr Ultra (2026) when we checked, so we link none and show no repairability score. Motorola’s US site has a repair section, which you can reach from its support menu.
Read our repair overview for the Razr Ultra (2026), battery replacement basics, screen replacement basics and how to read repairability scores. Foldable screens are more delicate than flat ones, so check any repair offer carefully. Our battery page cites Apple’s guidance because we have not yet found a Motorola equivalent.
Video reviews
We have not verified individual review videos for this phone, so we do not list any. You can browse more video reviews of the Razr Ultra (2026) on YouTube.
