The 2026 Razr Plus now retails for $1,099, yet it retains the aging Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset. While the battery capacity sees a functional jump to 4,500mAh, the camera array remains largely static, save for a swap from a 2x telephoto lens to a 50-megapixel ultrawide. While this offers more versatility for landscapes, the lack of significant internal performance gains makes the increased investment difficult to justify for returning users.
Motorola's Latest Razr Lineup Trades Value for Price Hikes
Motorola has updated its Razr flip phone lineup with a notable shift in strategy: both the midtier and entry-level models are now $100 more expensive than their predecessors. Despite the price hike, consumers are receiving hardware configurations that feel stagnant or, in some specific instances, actively downgraded from previous iterations.
Down the stack, the entry-level 2026 Razr arrives at $799, but with a sting in the tail: storage has been halved to 128GB. While the device benefits from a minor processor bump to the Dimensity 7450X and an improved 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, the reduced capacity limits its long-term utility. On the positive side, both models carry an IP48 rating for water protection, and the standard Razr now meets MIL-STD 810H standards for durability. Preorders for the new collection open May 14th, with retail availability following on May 21st.
