If you're a Motorola devotee (like me) or a hardcore fan of foldable devices in general, you probably already know a big day is upon us all. And if you've been following the mobile tech news over the last few weeks, you may know pretty much everything there is to know about the entire Razr (2026) family as well.
But of course, it can't hurt to receive further confirmation from two sources as reliable as Evan Blass over on X and Roland Quandt on Bluesky of exactly how the Razr 70 and Razr 70 Ultra will look out in the real world, especially when the designs of these two next-gen Android flip phones are so undeniably (and objectively) awesome.
The "vanilla" Razr (2026) is almost too pretty for its rumored price
Dubbed Razr 70 in Europe and likely to be released under the very simple Razr (2026) name stateside, Motorola's most affordable new foldable is expected to be a little costlier than its 2025 predecessor. Specifically, a $799 launch price was tipped last week for an entry-level US variant with 256GB internal storage space and 8GB RAM.

While the $100 price hike over a base Motorola Razr (2025) with the same amount of local digital hoarding room and memory count is undoubtedly connected to the rising component costs all smartphone manufacturers are struggling to navigate, the 2026 edition of this particular device will bring key battery capacity, camera, and processor upgrades to the table that should help prospective buyers digest that increase reasonably well.
What makes a good foldable great?
As evidenced in yet another batch of leaked high-quality product images, however, the Razr 70's number one selling point might be its appearance, which is just about as head-turning as (if not more so than) Samsung's significantly pricier Galaxy Z Flip 7. Once again, I am mesmerized by the marble finish of a particularly eye-catching white model, although the Violet Ice (aka lavender) and Pantone Hematite (aka gray) colorways are undeniably attractive too.
The Razr Ultra (2026) is even more gorgeous
If you reckon you'll be able to afford Motorola's most sophisticated and expensive new clamshell-style foldable of 2026, you may want to start thinking about which model you'll choose.

If you want my advice, I actually don't have one (for a change), as I find the Pantone Cocoa Wood and Orient Blue Alcantara flavors pretty much equally stylish in the latest super-sharp Razr 70 Ultra depictions leaked on social media ahead of tomorrow's big official Razr (2026) roster announcement.
Of course, you do have to wonder if these two super-premium shades and textures justify what seems like an excessive $1,499.99 price tag for a Razr Ultra (2026) configuration with 512GB storage and 16GB RAM in the US. Naturally, the answer depends on a number of things, starting with...
All the differences between the Razr (2026) and Razr Ultra (2026)
6.9-inch primary AMOLED screen with 2640 x 1080 pixel resolution and 120Hz refresh rate technology vs. 7-inch display with 2992 x 1224 pixel resolution and 165Hz refresh rate support;
3.6-inch secondary AMOLED screen with 1066 x 1056 pixel resolution and 90Hz refresh rate technology vs. 4-inch display with 1272 x 1080 pixel resolution and 165Hz refresh rate capabilities;
MediaTek Dimensity 7450X vs. Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor;
256GB storage and 8GB RAM vs. 512GB storage and 16GB RAM;
32MP vs. 50MP front-facing camera;
4,800 vs. 5,000mAh battery;
30W vs. 68W wired charging support;
15W vs. 30W wireless charging capabilities.
And this is everything the Razr (2026) and Razr Ultra (2026) will have in common

That being said, it's impossible to deny that the Razr Ultra (2026) will hold a number of meaningful advantages over the base Razr (2026) in that larger secondary screen, faster processor, higher memory count, additional storage space, and faster charging technology, so if Motorola quickly reduces (or reconsiders at the last minute) the $1,499.99 price tag of the clearly superior product, that can definitely become the smarter buy... and an even better Galaxy Z Flip 7 alternative.
For the time being, let's wait for the Razr (2026), Razr Ultra (2026), and yes, the Razr Plus (2026) to actually see daylight tomorrow and then go on sale (hopefully) soon after.
