The iconic Motorola Razr is back—and this time, it’s sharper than ever. With the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra. Motorola isn’t just reviving nostalgia it’s redefining what a foldable phone can be. Packed with premium specs, a sleek redesign, and a focus on durability, this clamshell-style device aims to outshine rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. Here’s why the Razr 60 Ultra might be the foldable to watch in 2024.
Design
The Razr 60 Ultra leans into its retro roots with a polished aluminum frame and a signature hinge that snaps shut with satisfying precision. But this isn’t your 2004 flip phone.
Early leaks suggest a 3.6-inch cover screen—larger than the Razr 50 Ultra’s 3.5-inch panel—offering full interactivity for notifications, apps, and even video playback. Motorola reportedly refined the hinge to reduce crease visibility on the main 6.9-inch foldable OLED display.
Which now boasts a 165Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth scrolling. IP58 dust/water resistance returns, a rarity in foldables, making it a rugged yet glamorous choice.
Under the hood, the Razr 60 Ultra is rumored to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. Translation: This phone can multitask like a pro, juggling apps across both screens without breaking a sweat.
A 4,200mAh battery (up from 3,900mAh in the Razr 50 Ultra) could finally solve foldables’ stamina woes, supported by 45W wired and 15W wireless charging.
Camera:
Motorola has historically lagged in camera tech, but the Razr 60 Ultra might flip that narrative. Leaks point to a 50MP main sensor with larger pixels for improved low-light shots, paired with a 13MP ultra-wide lens. The cover screen doubles as a viewfinder, enabling crisp selfies via the main camera—a feature Samsung popularized. AI-powered tools like “Cinematic Zoom” and real-time photo enhancement could further elevate its game.
Software:
Running Android 14 with Motorola’s My UX, the Razr 60 Ultra introduces “Flex View,” allowing apps to adapt seamlessly between the folded and unfolded states.
The cover screen gains new widgets and shortcuts, while the main display supports advanced split-screen multitasking. Motorola also promises four OS upgrades—a nod to Samsung’s commitment—keeping the device relevant longer.
Price
The Razr 60 Ultra is expected to launch in July 2024, with a starting price around **1,199∗∗—200 more than its predecessor. That positions it as a premium alternative to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 (rumored at $999). European pricing could hover around €1,299, while UK buyers might face a £1,099 tag.
The Razr 60 Ultra’s success hinges on execution. If Motorola delivers on durability and camera quality, it could finally challenge Samsung’s foldable dominance. The larger battery and cover screen are wins, but the higher price risks alienating budget-conscious fans.
For foldable enthusiasts craving a stylish, nostalgia-fueled device that doesn’t compromise on power, the Razr 60 Ultra is a tantalizing option. But with competition heating up, Motorola needs to prove it’s not just flipping the script—it’s rewriting it.
