Motorola Razr 2026 Rumors: Release Date, Price, Specs

Motorola has dropped an April 29 date for announcing its new Razr phone lineup, continuing the foldable Android phone line. The date confirmation was posted on Motorola’s social media accounts in a teaser video showing glimpses of the phones. We’ve already heard plenty of rumors about what to expect. We anticipate a base Razr, a Razr Plus and Razr Ultra, as Motorola continues to refine its take on the flip-style phone.

We also know that any new flip-style phones will join Motorola’s book-style Razr Fold, which is set to go on sale this summer. 

Until Motorola does provide a look into its next line of flip phones, here’s what we heard around the internet regarding the rumored phones’ new designs, improved cameras and beefier specs.

Release date and price

As we said up top, we just heard that Motorola will officially announce the new Razr line on April 29th, 2026. As for price, we’re guessing they’ll either stay the same (the 2025 Razr starts at $700) or be more expensive due to the global RAM shortage and other world events. 

A recent report from Dealabs (hat tip to 9to5Google) seems to indicate that the new Razrs will be a lot pricier than previous years. Allegedly, the new Razr 2026 will start at $800, the Razr Plus 2026 will start at $1,100 and the Razr Ultra 2026 will start $1,500. That’s about a $100 increase for all phones except the Ultra, which has a $200 increase.

Motorola’s UK website has begun preorders for the Razr Fold with an £1,800 price for a model with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage. Those preorders will be shipping in that country on May 6. However, pricing and availability will likely be different for the US market, which has yet to announce those details. The aforementioned Dealabs report states that the US pricing could be around $1,900. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 costs £1,799 for a 256GB model, and starts at $2,000 in the US.

Design and display

According to recent rumors, the design of the 2026 Razr will likely be similar to its predecessor. It’ll have the famous clamshell design and the smaller Quick View display on the cover.

Color-wise, Moto is expected to introduce new colors to the Razr lineup. Some rumors say they’ll be called hematite, sparkling green and pink, while others say they could be hematite, sporting green and violet ice. All of these colors are from Motorola’s Pantone collaboration. Leaker Evan Blass recently posted some rendered images of what could be the Razr’s base colors. The Razr Ultra, according to Android Headlines, is expected to ship in an Orient blue alcantara, a Pantone cocoa wood and an African violet. 

Another particularly interesting rumor is that the new Razrs won’t just come in new colors but new textures as well. We’re hearing that they’ll come in a fabric-like texture, a carbon-fiber-like texture and one additional finish that’s yet to be identified. Apparently, the Sparkling Green will have the carbon-fiber texture while the Hematite will have the fiber texture. A newly released Instagram video from Motorola seems to reveal a purple quilted edition as well. 

Unfortunately for those who prefer slender handhelds, there’s some speculation that the 2026 Razr Ultra will actually be bulkier than its predecessor. Leaker OnLeaks says that the phone will be 3.46 by 2.92 by 0.62 inches when folded and 6.74 by 2.92 by 0.3 inches when unfolded. That makes it just 0.02 inches thicker in its unfolded state when compared to the 2025 Razr. (The 2025 Razr, by comparison, is 0.28 inches thick unfolded and 0.62 inches thick folded.) While 0.02 inches is only a smidge thicker, it’s not great if you were hoping for the Razr to become a slimmer handset. 

Display-wise, the new Razr is said to have similar specs to the 2025 version. It’s expected to have a 6.9-inch OLED display when unfolded and a 3.63-inch OLED panel to use while folded.

Camera upgrades

Recent rumors seem to indicate that the base 2026 Motorola Razr could have a camera upgrade. The 2025 version has a 50-megapixel rear camera plus a 13-megapixel ultrawide. New speculation, however, brings those specs up to the Razr Plus level.

Android Authority has heard that it could have a 50-megapixel main rear camera along with a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x zoom. We haven’t heard too much about the specs for the 2026 Razr Plus and Ultra, however. A recent Dealabs report seems to corroborate the camera details. 

Rumored specs and performance

Eagle-eyed folks on the internet recently spotted the Motorola Razr 2026 listing on TENAA, which is China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center. The listing revealed some key specs. According to Phone Arena, the new Moto Razr could come with massive amounts of RAM — 8, 12, 16 or 18GB RAM. 

Other specs include an Octa-core 2.75 GHz processor, a 4,500-mAh battery and 33W charging capabilities. It could also come in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB storage variants. A new Dealabs report, however, says it could have a 4,800 mAh battery along with a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor. The report also says that the Razr+ could have a 4,500 mAh battery and the same Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip as before. 

Though the storage and RAM options sound impressive, especially with the global RAM shortage, Android Police warns that these upgrades might not be available in the US. The outlet points out that international models of the Razr last year included higher storage and RAM specs than what was available in the US. Motorola does often release higher-end phones in other countries, such as the Motorola Signature. It remains unclear if the specs seen here are only for the Chinese market. 

Motorola Razr vs. Razr Plus vs. Razr Ultra vs. Razr Fold

Aside from the above leaks, we haven’t heard too much about the 2026 Razr Plus. That said, it stands to reason that the Plus will have slightly more premium specs when compared to the base Razr. As for the Ultra, it looks like it could have the same processor as last year. According to Android Headlines, the Razr Ultra looks to have the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. However, Android Headlines also says that it could ship with a bigger battery — a 5,000-mAh battery, to be exact. That’s about a 6% bump over its predecessor. 

That’s why, for many, the most exciting handset in Moto’s upcoming lineup is the book-style Razr Fold.

According to our hands-on earlier this year, the Razr Fold has the following specs: a 6.6-inch external display, an 8.1-inch internal display, a measurement of 4.6mm thick when open and 9.9mm thick when closed, a triple 50-megapixel camera system plus a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the cover and a 20-megapixel selfie on the inside, and a 6,000-mAh battery.

It’s also powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor. It comes in Pantone blackened blue (textured back) and Pantone lily white (smooth and matte).
