Key Takeaways

• The Razr 70 starts at $799.99, with pre-orders opening May 14 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Motorola
• The Razr 70 Ultra tops the lineup with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 16GB RAM, and a 5,000-nit display
• All three models share IP48 water resistance and 50MP main cameras with OIS

Three Foldables, Three Price Points

Motorola's 2026 foldable strategy is clear: cover every price tier. The company announced the Razr 70, Razr 70 Plus, and Razr 70 Ultra today, with each model targeting a different buyer. In North America, these go by Razr 2026, Razr+ 2026, and Razr Ultra 2026.

All three run Android 16 out of the box and carry IP48 ratings for dust and water resistance. They also share the same 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization and 50MP ultrawide shooter. Beyond that, the differences stack up fast.

Razr 70: The Entry Point

The base model costs $799.99 in the US. It runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X chip with 8GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of expandable storage. The main folding display measures 6.9 inches with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3,000-nit peak brightness. The cover screen is a 3.6-inch panel running at 90Hz.

Battery capacity sits at 4,800 mAh. Charging tops out at 30W wired and 15W wireless. The 32MP front camera handles selfies.

Motorola is offering four colors: Pantone Hematite, Pantone Bright White, Pantone Sporting Green, and Pantone Violet Ice. Pre-orders start May 14 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Motorola's own store.

Razr 70 Plus: The Middle Ground

The Plus model jumps to a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Both displays get faster: 165Hz on the 6.9-inch main screen and 165Hz on the larger 4-inch cover display. The cover screen also gets brighter at 2,400 nits.

Battery capacity drops slightly to 4,500 mAh, but charging speed increases to 45W wired. You also get 5W reverse wireless charging for topping up earbuds or a smartwatch.

Color options narrow to one: Pantone Mountain View.

Razr 70 Ultra: The Flagship

The Ultra brings Motorola's best specs to the flip form factor. It uses the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The internal screen grows to 7 inches with a 165Hz refresh rate and 5,000-nit peak brightness. That's among the brightest foldable displays on the market.

The cover display matches the Plus at 4 inches and 165Hz, but pushes brightness to 3,000 nits. Camera hardware improves too. The main sensor adds LOFIC technology for better low-light performance, and the selfie camera jumps to 50MP.

Battery capacity leads the lineup at 5,000 mAh. Wired charging hits 68W, wireless reaches 30W, and reverse wireless stays at 5W.

Two color choices: Pantone Orient Blue and Pantone Cocoa.

What's Missing

Motorola hasn't announced US pricing for the Plus or Ultra models. Pre-order dates and availability for those two are also unclear. The company only confirmed the May 14 pre-order date and $799.99 price for the base Razr 70.

IP48 certification covers dust and splashes, but not submersion. If you want better water resistance, you'll need to look elsewhere in the foldable market.
