Last year, Motorola made our pockets a little more fashionable with the razr 50—remember that delicious Mocha Mousse edition? Well, they’re back at it again, and this time they’ve cranked the razr up to 11 (and maybe 12). Introducing the next-gen motorola razr flip phones: more powerful, more luxurious, and somehow even more self-aware thanks to moto ai.
Motorola’s not just banking on nostalgia anymore. The razr 60 Ultra is being marketed as the most powerful flip phone in the world, powered by the ridiculously beefy Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform. That’s right, a 3nm chip that practically breathes fire. The thing even has 68W TurboPower charging, which juices it up for the whole day in just 8 minutes. It’s basically a pit stop for your phone.
And let’s talk design. This isn’t your granddad’s razr. Motorola decided to go full luxury with finishes that sound more like car interiors than phone backs. Alcantara? Real wood? Titanium-reinforced hinges? At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next edition has marble countertops. And yes, it’s IP48-rated, which means it’ll survive underwater up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) for 30 minutes. Motorola basically dares you to dunk it.
If you like your phone smarter than you, the razr 60 Ultra has moto ai that apparently knows what you’re about to do before you do it. Try pulling up a recipe, and Next Move might suggest a cooking playlist. It even lets you stream stuff straight to your TV with a quick voice command. Basically, the razr 60 Ultra is like your overenthusiastic best friend that always has a suggestion, except you can put it on silent.
Here’s where Motorola went all out. The razr 60 Ultra packs a triple 50MP camera system—the most powerful flip camera setup ever. Ultra-wide, Super Zoom, Dolby Vision—you name it, it’s there. And if you feel like pretending you’re filming a ’90s home movie, you can flip it into retro camcorder mode. Nostalgia, now in 4K.
Motorola apparently got tired of flip phones being one-day warriors. The razr 60 Ultra crams a 4700mAh battery that lasts over 36 hours. You can recharge it in 8 minutes with TurboPower. Eight minutes. That’s faster than finding your charger in your tangled mess of cables.
And if all of that wasn’t enough, there’s the razr 60 with its own unique finishes and the new MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor. It’s not quite as flashy as the Ultra, but it still brings all the AI bells and camera whistles—just at a slightly more reasonable level of opulence.
Now for the price tags: the razr 60 Ultra will set you back US$1,299.99, while the razr 60 comes in at US$699.99. Time to start flipping couch cushions. Pre-orders for these new flip phones are happening as we speak.
