A top-tier compact flip phone with excellent battery and good performance, but a $200 price rise for a better sensor and slightly bigger battery feels too steep.

What do critics say about the Motorola Razr Ultra (2026)?
ZDNET80
A fast, strong-battery flip phone with great multimedia and improved throttling, held back by a price that is hard to justify.
CNET78
The best flip phone the reviewer has tested, but nearly identical to the 2025 model at a $200 higher price, so not worth buying at full cost.
Android Central70
A good flip phone with all-day battery and better main camera, but barely changed from the 2025 model while costing $200 more.
