If you\u2019re on the fence about trying a foldable smartphone, Motorola\u2019s Razr Ultra (2025) may be the one you\u2019ve been waiting for, and you can pick it up for $999.99 ($300 off) at Amazon<\/a> and Best Buy<\/a>. Our reviewer praised its design<\/a> (the wooden back panel has a layer of actual wood), and found Motorola still has the best software for foldables. Conveniently, in our reviewer\u2019s tests, the phone\u2019s outer screen was large enough to quickly check notifications without opening it up and running the risk of getting distracted.<\/p>\n

The Razr Ultra has two displays: a 4-inch 1080p outer screen, and a 7-inch 1224p screen when the phone is unfolded. Both screens look sharp, but the exterior display isn\u2019t quite bright enough to use comfortably in direct sunlight. Its hinge had better resistance than Razr\u2019s previous models, and its IP48 rating means it shouldn\u2019t be damaged even when immersed in one meter of water. It\u2019s not fully dust resistant, though it held up well when carried around in a dusty tote. Still, you should be careful when using it around sand. Motorola guarantees three years of OS upgrades for the Razr Ultra, which is respectable, but Samsung guarantees six years of OS and security updates for the Flip 6.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s 2025, so of course the smartphone has baked-in AI features, including notification summaries, and the ability to initiate a live transcription when you begin a voice recording. These features were hit or miss in our tests, but Motorola was bullish enough on them to stick a dedicated AI button on the Razr Ultra. A single long press or double press will launch these functions. If you don\u2019t want to hit a button, the smartphone\u2019s Moto AI app is available on its home screen.<\/p>\n

Motorola equipped the Razr Ultra with 16GB of RAM, 512GB of storage, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It supports wired charging at up to 68W and wireless charging up to 30W, and its battery lasted all day without dipping into the red. Its dual-lens rear camera system compromises a 50-megapixel wide and 50-megapixel ultrawide lens. Its selfie camera is also 50 megapixels, and we could get great shots from them in good lighting conditions, though it can be a little heavy-handed on the image processing.
