Motorola’s newest Razrs add battery life but subtract more from your wallet

I got my hands on Motorola's newest foldables, the Razer 2026 lineup

That is the Razer Standard, the Razer Plus, and the Razer Ultra

For the better part of a decade, Motorola has been refining its Razer lineup of clamshell foldables

and it shows in the 2026 phones. These are sleek, powerful devices that fit in your pocket or purse

even if it's hard to tell what's changed over last year's models. Unfortunately, you're going to have to pay a bit extra to pick them up

Like many other phones coming out this year, owing to the RAM shortage or tariffs or other issues, the 2026 Razer lineup all got price bumps

The baseline Razer may no longer be the cheapest full-blown town thanks to a $100 bump up to $800 starting price, and even got its starting storage reduced down to 128GB

The Razer Plus also got bumped up $100 to a starting price of $1,100

And the 2026 Razer Ultra probably got the worst of it with a $200 price hike

which now costs an eye-watering $1,500, which is almost as much as the new book-style Motorola Razer Fold

But with price hikes come a handful of upgrades over last year Razers All three models have batteries with silicon carbon anodes instead of graphite anodes something that becoming increasingly common in phones

Motorola says it allows them to get more capacity without increasing the battery size within the

phones, which could lead to slightly longer battery life, something we're eager to test

Foldable's also got new camera features, which have some AI tweaks but are mostly just cool to use

For instance, when the camera app is open, if you unfold any of the phones about halfway and hold it like an old school camcorder, it'll start recording video

Then you can tilt the Razer side to side to zoom in, which feels like a neat new Moto gesture to add to old standbys like the chop chop to turn on the flashlight

The price hikes are bitter pills to swallow, but Motorola is far from the only phone maker that's making its high end handsets a little more expensive this year

The 2026 Razer, Razer Plus, and Razer Ultra are inarguably the best and fastest clamshell foldables the company has ever released

But their priciness as a side of the times is more than an indicator that your favorite Android foldables have gotten noticeably better
