The memory crisis has given Motorola’s mid-tier and entry-level flip phones a hefty price hike, making them $100 more expensive than their predecessors. The Moto Razr and Razr Plus are prime examples, with the Razr Plus now costing £949, up from £849.
The 2026 Razr Plus still comes equipped with a Snapdragon 8S Gen 3 chipset – two years old by this point – paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. A notable improvement is the silicon-carbon battery, which now offers a 4,500mAh capacity compared to last year’s 4,000mAh model.
However, the main camera hardware remains unchanged, with Motorola opting for a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens over the previous generation's 50-megapixel 2x telephoto. The Razr’s finish and color options have been reduced from two to one: mountain view, a deep green with a woven texture.
The entry-level 2026 Razr is priced at £549, coming with less storage than the previous model: 128GB compared to 256GB. This phone does get a slight chip bump with a Dimensity 7450X chipset and an ultrawide upgrade from a 13-megapixel sensor to 50 megapixels. All three Razr devices are IP48-rated, meaning they offer protection against water immersion but not dust.
The standard Razr meets MIL-STD 810H standards for extreme temperatures and humid conditions, as well as drop protection. It also sees a modest increase in battery capacity from 4,500mAh to 4,800mAh. The entry-level Razr comes in various colors and textured finishes, including a ‘woven-inspired’ hematite that feels more rubbery than expected.
