This is the best Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) alternative according to readers

Overview

The Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) and its two lower‑level siblings launched last month with a clear intention to take the flip‑fold crown from Samsung. Living up to its name, the Ultra places heavy emphasis on specifications, with a 165 Hz display, a 5,000 mAh silicon‑carbon battery, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite/16 GB RAM combo. It’s an impressive package on paper, and you’ll need quite a lot of paper to buy one.

Given its hefty price tag, we outlined five good alternatives that span various designs and price points and asked readers to vote for their favorite.

Poll Results

With just short of 2,000 votes cast, the best Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) alternative, according to 31.7 % of respondents, is last year’s model. Apart from a few minor upgrades to the battery, display, and color availability, the Ultra (2025) offers the same hardware package as this year’s model for about $200 less. This doesn’t even factor in various sale opportunities that could further reduce its price.

“2025 Razr Ultra in my pocket now, first phone in a long time that I haven’t been itching to upgrade after a year of ownership (well, almost a year). Battery is still great, still looks new, still feels new, hinge and screen are amazing.”

Second Place

The race for second place was tight. Three of the five phones were within a few votes of each other, but ultimately the Google Pixel 10 Pro edged out the Motorola Razr Fold by a single vote (17.6 % vs. 17.5 %).

• Motorola Razr Fold – The more adventurous choice in terms of usability and cost. Listed at about $400 more than the Ultra (2026), it offers a roomier yet bulkier book‑fold layout.
• Google Pixel 10 Pro – The safe bet, backed by Google’s long software‑support window, reliable hardware (for the most part), and solid performance.

Readers were split on whether the Pixel 10 Pro or the Motorola Razr Fold is the better alternative.

Third Place

Coming in just behind these two is the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It remains a fair investment and arguably one of the most comprehensive Android experiences available.

Fourth Place

The Motorola Razr (2025) captured 12.1 % of the vote. Although it is nearly $1,000 cheaper than the newer Ultra (2026), respondents who prioritized price did not rank it higher.

Other Votes

A further 4.2 % of readers voted for other devices, including the OnePlus 13, as mentioned in the comments.
