Motorola Unveils 2026 Razr Lineup With Silicon‑Carbon Batteries and May 14 Preorders

Motorola signals a shift to longer‑lasting foldables by adopting silicon‑carbon cells that boost capacity without adding bulk.

Overview

  • Motorola’s four‑phone Razr family opens preorders on May 14, with U.S. sales beginning May 21 through Motorola.com, Best Buy and Amazon.
  • The Razr Ultra moves to a 5,000mAh silicon‑carbon battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, while the new Razr Fold uses a 6,000mAh silicon‑carbon cell.
  • Prices increase year over year to $1,499 for the Ultra, $1,099 for the Razr+, and $799.99 for the base model, and the $1,899 Razr Fold undercuts Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 by $100.
  • Chipsets differ by tier with Snapdragon 8 Elite in the Ultra, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 in the Razr+, MediaTek Dimensity 7450X in the base Razr, and Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 in the Fold.
  • The flips now feature dual 50MP cameras and the Fold adds three 50MP rear cameras, which DXOMARK ranks as the top foldable setup, highlighting stronger imaging as processor gains stay modest.
