“The Motorola Razr 2026 is still a great value at $800, and is arguably a better deal than its premium Plus and Ultra siblings.”

Critics' Take
Critics call the base Razr the cheapest way into a flip phone and praise its design, cover screen and battery life. Most also say it changes little from the 2025 model while costing $100 more. Performance is only average and the three years of Android updates draw repeated complaints.
What critics loved
- Stylish, durable design with IP48 rating
- Useful cover screen with broad app support
- Battery comfortably lasts a day
- Lowest-priced flip phone in the US
Common gripes
- $100 price increase to $799
- Few changes from the 2025 model
- Average performance from the Dimensity 7450X
- Only 3 years of Android updates
- Cameras are good but not top-tier

“Until then, it remains a solid foldable that is held back more by its pricing than by any major flaw in the device itself.”
