Motorola's Razr Plus 2026: Fun Flip, Recycled Tech
30 Jun
Summary
- It features a sturdier hinge and all-day 4,500mAh battery life.
- Uses the same processor as previous generations, increasing cost.
- Camera lacks telephoto, but offers excellent portrait photos.
The Motorola Razr Plus 2026, also known as Razr 70 Plus in some regions, presents a blend of impressive features and puzzling compromises. It boasts a new, durable titanium hinge and a substantial 4,500mAh battery promising all-day use. The device features two bright displays, with the main camera delivering striking portrait shots.
However, Motorola has reused the processor from the previous two Razr Plus models while increasing the US price by $100 to $1,099 for the 12GB/256GB configuration. The phone will receive three years of OS updates and five years of security updates, falling short of competitors' seven-year guarantees.
The camera system has swapped the telephoto lens for an ultra-wide shooter, which may disappoint users who rely on zoom. While the internal 6.9-inch AMOLED display offers a 165Hz refresh rate and 3,000 nits peak brightness, a noticeable crease persists. The external 4-inch AMOLED display is also bright and functional, though partially obscured by the camera module.
Performance is generally snappy for daily tasks and some gaming, but the aging chipset raises concerns about future-proofing, especially with the growing importance of on-device AI. The Razr Plus 2026 launched on May 21, 2026, and is available in the UK for £1,000 with 12GB/512GB storage.
