Motorola Razr 70 Ultra vs 70 Plus vs 70: The entire line-up compared

Specs comparison table

Price and Availability

As its name suggests, the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra is the priciest of the series, with a starting RRP of £1199.99 / €1399.99. 

In the middle is the Motorola Razr 70 Plus which has a starting price of £999.99 / €1149.99, while the Motorola Razr 70 is the cheapest at £799.99 / €899.99. 

Each of the three handsets in the Razr 70 series runs on a different chip, however both the Ultra and Plus are powered by Qualcomm iterations while the standard 70 runs on a MediaTek offering instead.

In fact, the Razr 70 runs on the recently announced Dimensity 7450X processor which is specifically designed for affordable foldables. As we’re yet to review the chip, we’ll have to wait and see how it performs in real-world use, however MediaTek promises we can expect faster AI, reliable gaming and “exceptional power efficiency”. 

The Razr 70 Plus runs on Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, Qualcomm’s mid-range chip that launched back in 2024. Also found in the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is promised to ensure the Razr 70 Plus sees faster multitasking, improved efficiency and on-device AI. Sure, Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 is a slightly older chip, but it should still result in a lag-free performance. 

Finally, the Razr 70 Ultra is powered by Qualcomm’s 2025 flagship chip: Snapdragon 8 Elite. Surprisingly, this is the same chip that powered last year’s Motorola Razr 60 Ultra. While we would have preferred Motorola to use the newer Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, in reality last year’s processor is still impressively powerful. However, keep in mind that it likely won’t offer quite the same level of performance as some of the best Android phones – but we’ll have to wait until we review the phone and run our benchmarking tests to determine whether that really is the case.

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra has the largest battery, but the 70 isn’t far off

At 5000mAh the Razr 70 boasts the largest battery of the entire line-up, however the Razr 70 isn’t too far off with its 4800mAh cell. The two leave the Razr 70 Plus trailing behind, as it sports a 4500mAh capacity instead.

Where things get confusing, however, is with their respective charging speeds. While the Razr 70 Ultra boasts the fastest support at 68W, it’s actually the Plus that comes in second with 45W speeds. The Razr 70 is the last of the bunch, with 30W charging speeds.

Finally, usefully all three support wireless charging although their exact speeds naturally depend on the handset. Unsurprisingly, the Razr 70 Ultra boasts the fastest support at 30W, while the Razr 70 maxes out at 15W. 

Motorola Razr 70 Ultra has a 50MP internal camera

All three handsets are fitted with a 50MP main and a 50MP ultrawide and macro lenses, and include new and updated shooting modes. Part of those modes is Group Shot, which is essentially an iteration of Google’s Best Take and takes multiple group photos and blends the best expressions into one.

Where the camera hardware differs is with the internal lenses. Both the Razr 70 and 70 Plus sport 32MP internal cameras whereas the Ultra sports a 50MP alternative instead. Although there are slight differences, generally the 70 Ultra has the same hardware as the Razr 60 Ultra, which is promising considering we concluded the 60 Ultra to be a solid camera phone. 

Both the Ultra and Plus models have four-inch external displays

Much like the Razr 60 Ultra, we’re pleased to see that both the Razr 70 Plus and 70 Ultra sport four-inch external displays. The external display is one of the most usable we’ve seen on a foldable, and is bright enough for you to check notifications while you’re on the move. Not only that, but the four-inch panel offers enough space for users to send messages too.

In comparison, the Razr 70 is fitted with a smaller 3.63-inch external display which is more in line with the Razr 50. Sure it’s smaller, but it’s worth noting that we still found the 3.6-inch display to be good at quickly replying to messages and following walking routes while on the move. Plus, Motorola promises you’ll still enjoy the “same flexibility and customisation of the larger displays”. 

While the Ultra and Plus iterations share the same external displays, the Plus actually uses the same 6.9-inch internal panel as the standard Razr 70. In comparison, the Ultra has a 6.96-inch internal display instead. Either way, all three handsets sport AMOLED inner panels.

Motorola Razr 70 comes with more shade options

If style is the most important aspect of buying a phone, then it’s important to know that the shades available with the Razr 70 series differ significantly depending on the handset. The Razr 70 Ultra is available in two finishes: Pantone Orient Blue, which features an embossed texture, and Pantone Cocoa with a natural wood veneer finish. 

Next, the Razr 70 Plus is only available in one Pantone Mountain View shade, which has a jacquard finish.

In comparison, the Razr 70 comes in several colours, including Pantone Hematite, Pantone Violet Ice, Pantone Sporting Green and Pantone Bright White.

Otherwise, the Razr 70 Ultra sports Gorilla Glass Ceramic on its external display which promises 10x better drop resistance, while the Razr 70 and Plus models sport Gorilla Glass Victus. 

Early Verdict

There are a few factors to consider when choosing between the Razr 70 series, with the biggest likely being budget. The Razr 70 is the cheapest of the trio, so if you’re keen to try a foldable but don’t want to splurge, then that’s the best option. 

Of course, you should also carefully consider performance. The pricier Razr 70 Ultra does boast the most premium chip of the bunch, however the Razr 70’s processor is designed specifically for foldables which bodes well.

Finally, the Razr 70 Plus could be a solid middle-ground between the trio as it borrows features from its Ultra sibling but isn’t quite as expensive.

We’ll have to wait until we review the three handsets to provide a conclusive verdict.
