Leaked specs indicate that the upcoming Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 may not be as slender as its predecessors, with measurements slightly thicker than last year's version. While this suggests a potential shift from the ongoing slimming trend in smartphones, it could also imply enhanced features such as improved camera quality.

The full dimensions of the new device would see an unfolded thickness of 7.8mm and a folded one of 15.8mm, with the addition of a camera bump pushing these to 9.6mm and 17.63mm respectively. Motorola's decision might be aimed at addressing previous inconsistencies in its flagship model.

Given that The Verge’s Allison Johnson highlighted issues with the Ultra 2025, particularly concerning inconsistent camera performance, a thicker design could herald significant improvements. This potential upgrade could position the Razr Ultra 2026 more competitively against other high-end slab-style phones in the market.

Whether this extra thickness translates into a superior smartphone remains to be seen, but it certainly signals that Motorola is considering user experience and performance over mere aesthetics for this release. Only time will tell if this thicker phone lives up to its promise.
