Motorola today unveiled the next iteration of its clamshell models. The Motorola Razr 70, Razr 70+, and Motorola Razr 70 Ultra may not be particularly surprising, but they're just as charming as the previous models.
In my opinion, clamshell smartphones are bought with the heart, not the head. And they can certainly be forgiven for only minor changes in specifications or a near-absence of visual changes. In the latter case, it's probably even better, because sometimes trying to forcefully improve a successful design can ruin it. I think owners of last year's models won't be tempted by the newer ones, and the Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra are meant to win over those who haven't used foldable phones before. But let's leave these speculations aside and take a look at the new models.
Motorola Razr 70
The Motorola Razr 70 is intended to be a more affordable model, so it doesn't have the same striking appearance as the Ultra variant. However, it does have a fairly large 3.6-inch external OLED screen with a resolution of 1056x1066 pixels and a 90 Hz refresh rate, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The main, foldable LTPO OLED screen measures 6.96 inches diagonally, has a resolution of 2640x1080 pixels, and a 144 Hz refresh rate. The screens have cutouts for the cameras. The internal camera houses a 32-megapixel selfie camera (f/2.4), while the external camera houses two 50-megapixel rear cameras: a main camera (f/1.7) and a wide-angle camera (f/2.0). Power is provided by a 4800 mAh battery with 30-watt wired and 15-watt inductive charging. The phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor, supported by LPDDR5x and UFS 3.1 memory, and runs Android 16. The Razr 70 also offers eSIM and DualSIM support and an IP48 rating. When folded, the smartphone measures 88.08 x 73.99 x 15.85 mm, and when unfolded, it measures 171.3 x 73.99 x 7.25 mm and weighs 188 g.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra
Motorola Razr 70 Ultra has a larger, 4-inch external screen that covers almost the entire surface of the flap. Unlike the two cheaper models, it's protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3. There are also cutouts for two 50-megapixel cameras: the main camera with LOFIC technology and a wide-angle camera, as well as a punch-hole for the 50-megapixel camera in the flexible OLED LTPO internal display. This one, as always, measures 6.9 inches diagonally and has a resolution of 2640x1080 pixels, but the refresh rate has been increased to 165 Hz. The smartphone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, supported by LPDDR5x and UFS 3.1 memory, and runs Android 16. Power is supplied by a 5000 mAh battery with 68-watt wired and 30-watt inductive charging, and the casing remains IP48-rated. When folded, the smartphone measures 88.09 x 73.99 x 15.69 mm, and when unfolded, it measures 171.42 x 73.99 x 7.19 mm, and weighs 199 g.
Motorola Razr 70+
Motorola Razr 70+ is a smartphone that combines both of the above. It looks similar to the Ultra, but has a slightly smaller 6.9-inch internal screen—though still with a 165 Hz refresh rate. It also has a smaller battery, with a capacity of 4500 mAh with 45-watt charging and 15-watt induction. The camera setup is the same as in the base model, and the heart of the smartphone is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. When folded, the smartphone measures 88.09 x 73.99 x 15.32 mm, and when unfolded, it measures 171.42 x 73.99 x 7.09 mm, weighing 189 g. In the US, these models will be known as the Motorola Razr (2026), Motorola Razr Ultra (2026), and Motorola Razr+ (2026). Prices for the Motorola Razr 70 start at €869 for the 8+256GB variant. The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra costs €1399, while the Motorola Razr 70+ costs €1049 and €1149 for the 12+256GB and 12+512GB variants, respectively.
