We finally got our hands on the Motorola Razr 70 Ultra<\/a> (aka Razr Ultra 2026 in North America), and it’s looking quite familiar.<\/p>\n

Here it is next to its predecessor – physically, aside from the different back panel on these specific two models, there’s not much of a difference. You’ve got mostly the same displays – 7.0-inch 165Hz on the inside, 4.0-inch cover screen; the same SoC – a now-aging Snapdragon 8 Elite; even the camera system is unchanged.<\/p>\n

The screen on the new Razr Ultra has a few more nits at the high end, and the battery has grown to 5,000mAh (up from 4,700mAh).<\/p>\n

Here’s the Razr 70 Ultra next to the regular Razr 70. There are more changes between these two – the 70 has smaller screens – 6.9-inch on the inside, 3.6-inch on the outside; it also has a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X SoC. The Ultra has a non-straightforward edge in imaging – nicer wide and selfie cameras, a lesser, on paper, ultrawide. Finally, the Ultra has 200mAh more on the battery front.<\/p>\n

But a more tangible difference is the way they differ in the hand. The Ultra feels more premium and more polished. Better put together, in a sense.<\/p>\n

The Razr 70’s grippier finish is nice, but the wood trim finish on the Ultra is just something else entirely. In a world of glossy glass backs (and their derivatives), you notice when you touch something like wood (whether it’s real wood doesn’t change its feel in the hand).<\/p>\n

The 7.0-inch display is plentiful, though it’ll feel narrow if you’re coming from a non-folding slab phone. It has the inherent benefit of being able to fit two identical apps in split-screen mode.<\/p>\n

\"Motorola<\/p>\n

The Motorola Razr 70 Ultra is \u20ac1,360 in Europe and comes in a single 16\/512GB config. The phone comes without a charger in the box, but you do get a cable and a soft-touch case.<\/p>\n

\"Motorola<\/p>\n

The case has a built-in handle. Of course, many people would rightfully prefer to use the wood-trimmed phone caseless, and this editor would too.<\/p>\n
