Motorola’s latest flip phone is going big where it matters.
The Razr 70 Ultra headlines the new Razr lineup with a sizeable 5000mAh battery, a rare sight for flip-style foldables. Alongside that battery comes a spec sheet that pushes it firmly into flagship territory.
That battery claim translates to over a day of use, with support for 68W wired charging, 30W wireless, and reverse charging. It’s a notable step up not just for Motorola, but for clamshell foldables in general. Historically, these devices have lagged behind traditional phones in endurance.
The Ultra also leans heavily into its displays. You get a 6.96-inch internal AMOLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. It also offers up to 5000 nits peak brightness, plus a fully functional 4-inch external screen. That outer display isn’t just for notifications either; it can run full apps, making it genuinely useful without flipping the phone open.
Beneath the surface, it runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with up to 16GB of RAM. That’s a clear jump over the standard Razr 70, which uses a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X. Even the Razr 70 Plus sits somewhere in between with a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. In short, the Ultra is the one built for performance.
Cameras are another area where Motorola is drawing a line between models. The Ultra packs a triple 50MP setup, including a new LOFIC sensor designed to improve dynamic range and low-light shots. The Razr 70 and 70 Plus still offer capable dual 50MP systems, but they do so without the same level of processing or flexibility.
Elsewhere, Motorola is doubling down on materials and design. The Ultra comes in finishes like Alcantara and even real wood. This is a bit different from your usual glass-and-metal slab. It’s still thin, still pocketable, but clearly trying to feel more premium this time around.
The rest of the lineup keeps the same core idea but scales things back. The Razr 70 Plus retains the large external display and strong performance. Meanwhile, the standard Razr 70 trims things further with a smaller outer screen, slower charging, and a less powerful chip.
Put simply, all three phones stick to the same foldable formula, but the Ultra is where Motorola is pushing things forward.
