Overview
- U.S. preorders open Thursday, May 14, with retail sales set for May 21 across Motorola.com, Best Buy, and Amazon.
- The new Razr Fold targets Galaxy Z Fold buyers at $1,899 with an 8.1-inch inner screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, a 6,000mAh silicon‑carbon battery, fast 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, and optional Moto Pen Ultra stylus support.
- The Razr Ultra rises to $1,499 despite reusing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite; reviewers highlight the bigger 5,000mAh silicon‑carbon battery and premium finishes, but question the value of the higher MSRP.
- Motorola is selling the Razr Ultra unlocked only through retail channels, while the $1,099 Razr Plus (with Snapdragon 8s Gen 3) launches unlocked and at AT&T on May 21, with T‑Mobile to follow later in 2026.
- Across the 2026 family, larger silicon‑carbon batteries are a key hardware gain that should boost runtime, though analysts also note Motorola’s history of quick post‑launch discounts and the impact of limited carrier financing on how U.S. buyers upgrade.
