Motorola Razr 70 Ultra/Razr Ultra 2026 review

Design and hardware

The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra doesn't stray away from the familiar design concept - quite the contrary. The company is still trying to stand out from the crowd by offering a unique look with standout designs and materials with its Razr series.

There's only one structural change with this generation - the hinge is now reinforced with titanium. Depending on the colorway, you get the lower half of the back with an Alcantara finish or a wood veneer. The top half, where the cover display resides, is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic, while the frame is made of aluminum.

There are only two color options for now, and once again, they are in line with Pantone's color catalog. The Orient Blue color comes with an embossed Alcantara finish, while the Cocoa variant that we have at the office features textured natural wood veneer. It's an interesting choice if you are looking for something classic.

Despite being a flip foldable, the device still offers some sort of ingress protection, albeit not particularly high. It's IP48-rated, which means moderate dust resistance in addition to the solid water resistance.

When you unfold the device, you get to see the 7.0-inch flexible OLED screen with a decent (in a good way) crease in the middle.

The hinge feels solid and smooth; no complaints there. Once closed, the two halves lie flush against each other, and the hinge itself supports multiple angles. It remains open at pretty much any angle.

The fingerprint reader is once again integrated into the power button. It works well, and we didn't have any major hiccups. It's fast and reliable.

Speaking of the power button, it's located on the right side along with the two volume keys, while the dedicated AI assistant button is placed on the left side of the frame. The bottom is home to the SIM card tray and the USB-C port.

The SIM card tray can take up to two physical SIM cards, but the handset also supports eSIM. Regardless of the SIM configuration, there can be only two active SIM cards at the same time.

All in all, the Razr 70 Ultra is a premium device with an excellent build, leaving little to complain about. You also have the choice between two unique materials and styles.
