The reminiscence disaster claims one other couple of victims. Motorola’s midtier and entry-level flip telephones price $100 greater than their predecessors, and have few upgrades to point out for it.
The 2026 Razr Plus prices $1,099, up from $999. It nonetheless comes with a Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset — two years outdated at this level — with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Its silicon-carbon battery presents a 4,500mAh capability in comparison with the 4,000mAh capability on final yr’s mannequin, which is a big enhance.
However that’s its greatest enchancment. The principle digital camera {hardware} is unchanged, however Motorola swapped the earlier technology’s 50-megapixel 2x telephoto for a 50-megapixel ultrawide. This seems like the precise name; you’ll be able to crop your approach to an honest 2x photograph, however there’s no alternative for a wider lens. The Razr’s end and shade choices are down from two to only one: mountain view, a deep inexperienced with a woven texture. Truthfully, I prefer it higher than final yr’s mocha mousse and sizzling pink choices.
The entry-level 2026 Razr is $799 and comes with much less storage than final yr’s mannequin: 128GB, down from 256GB. This cellphone a minimum of will get a slight chip bump: a Dimensity 7450X in comparison with the 7400X on the 2025 Razr. It additionally will get an ultrawide improve, from a 13-megapixel sensor as much as 50-megapixels. All three Razr gadgets are IP48-rated, that means they’re protected towards water immersion however not mud.
The usual Razr additionally meets MIL-STD 810H requirements for cover in excessive temperatures, humid circumstances, and towards drops. It too sees a modest improve in battery capability, from 4,500mAh to 4,800mAh. And like final yr, the entry-level Razr comes within the widest vary of colours and textured finishes, from a “woven-inspired” hematite that feels extra rubbery than I anticipated to a light-catching vivid white. They’ll be out there for preorder on Might 14th and go on sale Might twenty first.
