Ultimate style meets durability

Crafted for both elegance and endurance, the new razr devices feature ultra-thin designs, smooth contours, and premium finishes. Beneath the surface, each device is built with longevity in mind, ensuring lasting performance without sacrificing style.

Across the new razr family, rounded edges and unique materials and finishes elevate the feel of each phone in-hand. razr ultra is available in vivid PANTONE® Orient Blue, featuring a finely-embossed Alcantara® texture. The renowned Made in Italy material is enhanced by a delicate micro-lattice pattern, conveying depth, tactility, and understated luxury. For a natural and grounded feel, razr ultra is also available in PANTONE Cocoa in a natural wood veneer finish for a touch of quiet sophistication. motorola razr+ is available in the earthy shade of PANTONE Mountain View, with a woven-inspired jacquard finish that adds sculptural dimension with a comfortable feel and confident grip. motorola razr comes in several eye-catching curated Pantone® colors, including PANTONE Hematite in a woven-inspired finish, PANTONE Violet Ice and PANTONE Sporting Green in a leather-inspired finish, and PANTONE Bright White in Acetate for a sleek, sophisticated look and feel.

Each phone is as durable as it is beautiful, with a titanium-reinforced hinge refined over multiple razr generations to provide added peace of mind for the longevity of the phone. razr ultra is the world’s first flip smartphone to come protected with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 3, which on the external display achieved over 75% better drop performance compared to previous generation devices,⁹ and motorola razr+ and razr debut with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® to guard against everyday drops and scratches. And users new to the razr family can step confidently into the foldable experience with added peace of mind knowing razr is the first flip smartphone in the category that meets military standards for durability,10 protected against high altitudes, extreme temperatures, and intense humidity so users can worry less and explore more.

Cameras that let creativity bloom

Blending advanced camera hardware with a comprehensive suite of AI-powered features, the new razr lineup delivers a smarter, more intuitive photography experience. Each device is designed to elevate image quality, simplify shooting, and unlock new creative possibilities.

The new razr ultra combines upgraded camera hardware with the most comprehensive set of AI-powered photography and shooting modes in our razr lineup. The high-resolution 50MP camera system is powered by a next-generation 50MP LOFIC sensor that captures up to 6x more dynamic range,¹¹ helping preserve detail in both bright highlights and deep shadows. The result is content that looks closer to real life, whether shooting in harsh sunlight, low light, or anything in between. Behind the scenes, improvements across the system work together to refine every shot while advanced processing and larger effective pixel performance continue to deliver bright, clear images, even in low light. Fast, accurate focusing and optical image stabilization (OIS) ensure sharp results whether shooting stills or video, so users can capture the moment exactly as it happens. They also get to experience true-to-life color validated by Pantone®⁷ and with Dolby Vision® Capture, the same technology embraced by the world’s top filmmakers and storytellers, which lets users bring their favorite moments to life with remarkable picture quality.

The 50MP Ultrawide + Macro Vision lens² on the razr ultra maintains its versatility but benefits from the same improved processing pipeline, providing more consistent color, exposure, and detail across every lens, from expansive 122º landscapes to extreme close-ups. And with the 50MP internal camera,² selfies look better than ever, with improved scene detection and AI enhancements that automatically optimize framing and lighting for individuals or groups. All together, it’s not just about specs, it’s about delivering a more reliable, more polished camera experience every time users press the shutter.

Both razr+ and razr deliver a powerful dual 50MP main camera system,² with a 50MP main camera² equipped with Instant All-Pixel PDAF, Quad Pixel Technology, OIS, and Pantone Validated™ color and skin tones.⁸ A 50MP Ultrawide + Macro Vision lens² allows for even more creative content capture. Both devices also feature a 32MP internal camera with Quad Pixel technology, perfect for selfies and video calls in all lighting conditions.

Flex View positions also allow users to transform their razrs into a tripod, conveniently allowing for hands-free group shots, creative shooting angles, and better selfies using the preview function on the external display. And on top of the powerful camera hardware, all three new razr devices allow you to take advantage of new and updated shooting modes and features, like:

Camcorder Rotate to Zoom: In camcorder mode, a simple wrist rotation gesture lets users smoothly zoom in and out while recording. Using built in AI, the camera also automatically identifies and zooms in on the subject for the perfect combination of nostalgic camcorder controls and smart, hands-free functionality.
Group Shot: Say goodbye to closed eyes and awkward moments in group photos with AI that captures multiple frames in seconds and intelligently blends the best expressions, so everyone looks their best in one perfect shot, every time.¹²
Signature Style: Make every photo unmistakably yours with this feature that automatically learns your editing preferences based on the adjustments you make to photos in your photo gallery.
Frame Match: Need someone else to take a photo but don’t want to risk a bad shot? First, lock the perfect frame with Frame Match, then hand the phone to anyone, step into the shot, and let them simply match the on-screen guide for the perfect photo, just as you envisioned.
Creative Watermarks: With intelligent color matching, Smart Color Watermark blends naturally into every image for a distinctive, professional look. Or personalize photos with a FIFA World Cup™ Watermark, which intelligently adapts its color to match each shot to celebrate the love of the game.
Ultra HDR optimized for Instagram: Experience up to 5x enhanced dynamic range when shooting in the camera app or directly in the Instagram app.

Motorola is also the first brand to showcase Google Photos wardrobe, a new feature that can digitize users’ closets, identify items in their Google Photos gallery, and allow them to mix, match, and try on outfits directly within the app—no downloads required. Motorola is also integrating Google Photos Memories into Daily Drops, a personalized content feed that delivers daily updates, allowing users to see their favorite photos resurface alongside relevant, curated headlines, weather updates and more.

Adaptable AI intelligence

All three razr devices in our lineup are elevated by smart AI experiences like moto ai,¹³ which has been shaped by a user base of over 1 million monthly users. Users can explore a variety of useful features, like the “Catch me up” prompt which gives a tailored summary of top notifications¹⁴ and “Next Move” which offers helpful next steps based on where you’re at and what you’re doing in real time. moto ai’s advanced global search helps users find what they’re looking for not only in the app library, but also contacts, calendar information, and message details with a single search.

But at Motorola, our philosophy is that AI should adapt to you, not the other way around. That’s why we also give users the option to explore other AI platforms. Use Google Gemini to brainstorm ideas or get writing help to craft thoughtful thank-you notes, professional emails, and catchy social media captions,⁷ and have free-flowing conversations with Gemini Live to ask natural follow-up questions and multi-task with ease. Plus, Motorola continues its partnership with Microsoft to bring users easy access to Microsoft Copilot to boost productivity, with voice and vision support that helps users draft, edit, present, and organize across Motorola devices.. Or use Perplexity‘s real-time, AI-powered search to instantly summarize, explore, and take action, getting direct answers instead of a list of links, viewing cited sources for accurate information, and deeply researching topics using intelligent follow-ups.

Supercharged performance, battery life, and charging

As the most powerful razr ever,¹ razr ultra is powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform to deliver flagship performance, faster speeds, and advanced on-device AI experiences. The custom-built 3rd gen Qualcomm® Oryon CPU and the advanced Qualcomm® Adreno GPU elevates graphics-rich gaming for film-quality 3D environments while still maximizing performance and efficiency, and the ultra-powerful Qualcomm® AI Engine delivers fast performance for optimal AI experiences. And Snapdragon® 8 Elite sustains its flagship performance throughout the day without sacrificing battery life, even during demanding tasks. The razr ultra boasts the largest battery among flip phones,³ a massive 5000mAh battery¹⁵ that gives over 36 hours of battery life on a single charge.⁵ And when users do need a boost, they can enjoy the fastest charging on a flip phone³ with lightning-fast 68W TurboPower™ charging that gives power for the day in just 8 minutes^{5, 16} or the freedom of speedy wireless¹⁷ or reverse charging. Thanks to revolutionary silicon-carbon technology, users get the benefit of long-lasting battery life without a thicker phone, maintaining the razr family’s thin and pocketable design without compromise.

From the stunning displays to entertainment and content capture on razr+, all these incredible features are powered by the premium Snapdragon® 8s Gen 3 Mobile Platform. Get speeds up to 3GHz for faster multitasking and improved efficiency, plus the Qualcomm® AI Engine enables on-device AI to work at breakneck speeds. Go all day and night on a single charge with a 4500mAh battery¹⁸ which delivers over 31 hours of power.⁵ When it’s time to recharge, 45W TurboPower™ charging gives power for the day in just 11 minutes,^{5, 19} along with the added flexibility of 15W wireless¹⁷ or reverse charging.

On razr, battery, advanced AI experience, and overall performance are all optimized by the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor. The 4800mAh battery²⁰ gives over 36 hours of battery life on a single charge,⁵ so users don’t need to stop and charge between a whirlwind day and night out with friends, but when it is time to fuel up, 30W TurboPower™ charging gives power for the day in 15 minutes^{5, 21} and 15W wireless charging¹⁷ eliminates the clutter of cables for added convenience.
