00:02Motorola just dropped the new Razer Ultra 2026 and you guys we need to talk about it. It's very
00:08stylish but very expensive and very clearly aimed at people who want their phone to feel like more
00:13than just a slab of screen. So this is the new premium flip phone at $1,500 but it arrives
00:21next
00:21to the new Razer Fold which starts at $1,900. Now the question isn't just do you want a foldable,
00:27it's which kind. Here are five things to know about the Razer Ultra, what's new, what stands out and
00:34whether I think it's actually going to be worth your attention. First this phone has main character
00:40energy. Motorola understands something a lot of other phone brands don't. Some people want their
00:45phone to have a real personality and the Razer Ultra absolutely does. You've got finishes like
00:50Alcantara leather, real wood, bold colors, textured backs although admittedly I do like some of the
00:56color options for the entry-level Razer this year a bit more than the Razer Ultra. Meanwhile the Razer
01:02Fold feels more neutral, more practical, more I'm going to answer my emails promptly kind of vibes and
01:07while the Fold is thinner when opened up the Razer Ultra still wins on pocketability because the phone
01:13flips close into the compact little square. Motorola's 4-inch cover screen remains elite and obviously I do
01:19have to mention durability when we're talking foldables. The Razer Ultra is rated IP48 and is the
01:24first flip phone with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 as well as military-grade durability standards.
01:31Second, the camera upgrades are fun. Yes, there are camera improvements here. Motorola says the new
01:37low-fictech alongside the triple 50 megapixel lenses gives you six-time better dynamic range and two times
01:43faster shot-to-shot speed versus the last generation Ultra. Now in camcorder mode when you're recording,
01:50a quick wrist twist lets you smoothly zoom in and out. We're also getting up to 4k Dolby Vision
01:56recording here folks. This is still the elite form factor for filming and making photographing fun
02:01and I'm really glad we've got these better specs here now, especially considering the higher price.
02:07Third, Google Photos Wardrobe is the feature to watch. I'm not going to get into all of the AI
02:12features, but there is one that is so cool. Motorola is the first phone brand showing off the new Google
02:19Photos Wardrobe feature. And yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. It can scan photos in your library,
02:25identify clothes you own, build you a digital closet, and then let you mix and match outfits
02:30inside the app and even try them on. It's giving the clueless closet computer, but in 2026.
02:35Do you need it? Maybe not. But do I love that it exists? Absolutely. Because once again,
02:42Motorola is targeting a fashion-forward customer. People who like style, personalization, and you
02:47know, sometimes still need a little help putting sick outfits together, yours truly included.
02:54Fourth, battery life could be key. Motorola has been sneaky good at battery life lately,
02:59especially in our testing. So this is one area I'm going to be watching closely.
03:03The Razer Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery, which is huge for a flip phone. Motorola says you can
03:09get
03:09over 36 hours on a single charge. You also get 68W fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse
03:16charging. Yes, the Razer Fold has a 6,000 mAh battery and faster 80W charging, but there's also
03:22more display to power, so that won't automatically mean better battery life. We will test it properly,
03:28and if you've seen our battery life test videos before, you already know the deal.
03:32If not, subscribe. Hey, look at that. Seamless plug.
03:37Fifth and finally, the price is bold. Maybe too bold. Let's talk about it. The Razer Ultra starts at
03:43$1,499. Pre-orders begin May 14th, available May 21st. Motorola's lineup now looks like this. We've got
03:51the Razer at $800, Razer Plus at $1,100, and the Razer Ultra at $1,500. And that makes things
03:59a little
03:59weird. You're deciding between a premium flip phone or full foldable tablet experience.
04:05I think the Razer Ultra's price is going to hurt it at launch, but Motorola also has a habit of
04:10aggressive discounts after release, so if you're interested, there's a decent chance patience will
04:15pay off, but we'll just have to wait and see.
04:19So those are five things to know about the new Razer Ultra 2026. It's giving style. It's giving
04:26personality. We got edgy features, but at that price point, guys, we will really have to do some
04:31in-depth testing to see if it is worth it. So help me out and tell me what you want
04:36to see here next
04:37on the channel. Full review, battery test, Razer Ultra vs. Galaxy Z Flip. Be sure to drop a comment
04:43and let me know. Otherwise, that's it for me for this one. I will catch you guys in the next
04:48one.
