For those contemplating the leap into foldable smartphones, the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) might just be the perfect choice. It is currently available at a discounted price of $999.99 ($300 off) on both Amazon and Best Buy. Our reviewer was particularly impressed with its design, featuring a wooden back panel with a layer of actual wood. Additionally, Motorola’s software for foldables was lauded as the best in the market. The phone’s outer screen proved to be sufficiently large for quick notifications checks without the need to fully unfold the device, reducing distractions.
The Razr Ultra boasts two displays: a 4-inch 1080p outer screen and a 7-inch 1224p screen when unfolded. While both screens offer sharp visuals, the exterior display may be challenging to use in direct sunlight due to its brightness limitations. The phone’s hinge exhibits improved resistance compared to previous Razr models, and its IP48 rating ensures durability even when submerged in one meter of water. Although not completely dust resistant, the Razr Ultra held up well in dusty environments. However, caution is advised when using it in sandy conditions. Motorola guarantees three years of OS upgrades for the Razr Ultra, a commendable feature, although Samsung offers six years of OS and security updates for the Flip 6.
In line with the technological advancements of 2025, the Razr Ultra incorporates built-in AI features such as notification summaries and live transcription initiation during voice recordings. While these features showed mixed results in testing, Motorola’s confidence in them is evident with the inclusion of a dedicated AI button on the device. Users can easily access these functions with a single long press or double press of the button. Alternatively, the Moto AI app is conveniently placed on the smartphone’s home screen.
Equipped with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the Razr Ultra offers powerful performance. It supports fast wired charging up to 68W and wireless charging up to 30W, with a battery that can last a full day without draining quickly. The dual-lens rear camera system features 50-megapixel wide and ultrawide lenses, while the selfie camera also boasts 50 megapixels. Users can expect great quality shots in optimal lighting conditions, although some may find the image processing slightly heavy-handed. For a detailed review, refer to our comprehensive analysis.
