Motorola has just announced three new Razr flip phones for 2026: the $800 Motorola Razr, the $1,100 Razr Plus and the $1,500 Razr Ultra. The phones are pricier than their 2025 predecessors; the 2026 Razr and Razr Plus are $100 more, while the 2026 Razr Ultra is $200 more. All handsets will be available for preorder on May 14 and in retail stores on May 21.

While each phone has its differences, they do have a few things in common. All Razr flip phones ship with Android 16, have a side fingerprint sensor and are IP48 rated for dust and water resistance.

They’re also among the first phones to support a new wardrobe feature in Google Photos that lets you create a virtual closet for all your clothes. There’ll also be a tighter integration of Google Photos Memories into a personalized content feed called Daily Drops.

Like last year, the Razrs come with Moto AI, an artificial intelligence assistant that can help you catch up with notifications or plan out your day. You can also opt for other AI services from the likes of Perplexity, Motorola’s Copilot or Google’s Gemini.

Now let’s have a closer look at what sets each 2026 Razr apart.
