Introduction
Motorola recently refreshed its clamshell Razr line with the new Razr 70 models, or as they are known in the US – Razr 2026. It wasn’t a major refresh by any means, but there are certainly some touch-ups here and there. That said, according to our reader poll, as far as most of you are concerned, not enough has changed to justify the pretty serious asking price of all three Razr models – vanilla, plus and Ultra. The mere fact that the nicely discounted 2025 models are still in circulation is, in a way, limiting the market potential of its latest trio.
That’s admittedly not a particularly great start to this review of the vanilla Razr 70/Razr 2026 model. It is the cheapest phone of the trio in relative terms, but definitely not in absolute terms since a base 8GB/256GB unit will cost you $800 / €870 / £800 MSRP. All the way, just a few days ago, we spotted the 2025 Razr Ultra with 1TB of storage, selling straight from Motorola’s own US store for just $800. Sure, it was a fire sale, probably to get rid of stock, but it doesn’t bode well for the Razr 70/Razr 2026 family prospects. Still, we have to try and look past current pricing too and judge the phone for what it is, hoping for a better value deal in the future.

So, what has changed for 2026 in the basic model, at least at first glance? Well, like we said, a few things here and there. The hinge is now made of titanium, which is an improvement over last year’s stainless steel. And even though Motorola is being a bit vague about the rest of the material specifics in the Razr 70, we can only imagine that they are as good or perhaps even slightly better than last year.
