The camera situation is hard to judge at this point. Motorola\u2019s devices have struggled to keep up with Google and Samsung in image quality, but the hardware looks solid. All three rear cameras are 50 MP, including a Sony Lytia with gargantuan 2.44\u03bcm pixels for the primary.<\/p>\n

Initially, the Razr Fold will only be available unlocked directly from Motorola, but it will eventually come to T-Mobile, Verizon, and Xfinity Mobile. The stylus will only be sold by Moto, but it\u2019s strictly an optional accessory\u2014there\u2019s no slot in the phone.<\/p>\n

Flip for foldables<\/p>\n

If larger foldables aren\u2019t your thing, Motorola still has three flip phones available for 2026. All three phones have big external displays with enough real estate to use apps and reply to messages. They\u2019re also great for taking selfies with the main cameras. The Ultra has Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, while the other models have Gorilla Glass Victus, an upgrade over last year\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Razr Ultra has an updated primary 50 MP sensor that can apparently collect more light for sharper, faster captures. The Razr+ also swaps from a secondary 2x telephoto to an ultrawide. Meanwhile, the base model gets a higher-resolution ultrawide (50 MP up from 13 MP). The rest of the camera hardware appears unchanged.<\/p>\n

The Razr Ultra again packs a customized Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite with 16GB of RAM, making it a match for any non-folding flagship phone. However, it looks like there won\u2019t be a 1TB storage option for the Ultra in 2026 like there was last time. The Razr+ steps down to the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 and 12GB of RAM (unchanged from last year), and the Razr has a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X (slight upgrade) and 8GB of RAM.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s Razr phones marked a significant expansion of Motorola\u2019s AI efforts, and all those features remain in 2026\u2019s models. The Moto AI system contains features from three different AI providers. Gemini is integrated throughout the experience, but there are also elements of Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity. The phones can summarize your notifications, create meeting notes, and offer contextual recommendations based on screen content. The phones will also debut a Google Photos feature that scans your wardrobe and suggests new outfits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The camera situation is hard to judge at this point.
