The Razr 60 Ultra is the most beautiful and practical foldable I’ve had in my hand this year. Motorola has managed to make the clamshell format also a real utility.
The world of clamshell foldable mobiles has become a real catwalk of innovation, design, and, why not say it, technological posturing. Not so long ago, if you wanted a phone that would fold and fit in any pocket, the only real option was Samsung with its Galaxy Z Flip.
But in the last two years, Motorola has decided to stand up to it, and, honestly, it is doing it in style. The Razr 60 Ultra is the latest proof that the American brand, now under the Lenovo umbrella, is very serious.
I’ve been lucky enough to test the Razr 60 Ultra for several weeks, and the first thing I thought when I opened the box was that it’s not just a pretty phone, as it hides real muscle inside. Motorola has not limited itself to putting in a larger battery or changing the color; this year they have upped the ante in power, cameras, and, yes, also in price.
This is because it costs $1,299.99, one hundred euros more than the previous model. Does it justify that jump? That’s the million-dollar question: having rivals as honorable to beat as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 or the Xiaomi Mix Flip.
With this as an appetizer, I’ll get ahead of myself: is the Razr 60 Ultra worth that money? Without a doubt, the brand has understood that a foldable cannot be just a whim: it has to be useful, fast, powerful, and, above all, fun to use. He fulfills it. Regarding the purchase, it is up to you, but here I leave you with all its pros and some small cons for you to decide.

Design: the great art of bending without losing an ounce of style
If there’s one thing Motorola knows how to do well, it’s to attract attention—but in a positive way. The Razr 60 Ultra is one of those mobiles that you take out at a dinner with friends or in any circumstance with your family, and everyone asks you what you have in your hand.
Folded, it’s almost a perfect square: 73.99 x 88.12 x 15.69mm, and it fits in any pocket, even the tightest jeans. Unfolded, it stretches to 171.48 mm high and only 7.19 mm thick, with a weight of 199 grams that, for what it offers, is more than fine.
The hinge is one of the best I’ve ever tried: firm, quiet, and with a magnetic closure that really gave me security. No creaks or slack, something that, honestly, still costs some models.
Motorola has opted for premium materials, and it shows in the touch and finishes—even in the spectacular case it includes. The aluminum frame and the back with a finish in real wood —in this specific case— or vegan leather, depending on the color, make the mobile a magnet for looks and, luckily, not so much for fingerprints.
But what really makes the difference is the 4-inch outdoor POLED display. It’s not just an ornament to see notifications: here you can reply to messages, control Spotify music, use Google Maps or Gmail, or even take selfies with the main cameras.
The 3,000 nits brightness and Gorilla Glass Ceramic protection are life insurance for everyday use. In addition, the IP48 resistance against splashes and dust gives it that extra peace of mind that is always appreciated.
Performance: a leap in power that is felt (and enjoyed)
Here Motorola has not minced words. The Razr 60 Ultra mounts the new Snapdragon 8 Elite, accompanied by 16 GB of LPDDR5x RAM and 512 GB of UFS 4.0 storage.
What does this mean on a day-to-day basis? That you can open all the apps you want, play already demanding games, and edit photos or videos without the mobile suffering anything. In my tests, multitasking is smooth, and virtual RAM management helps you never notice slowdowns.
| Mobile | Motorola Razr 60 Ultra | Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 | Motorola Razr 50 Ultra | Xiaomi Mix Flip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 | Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 | Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 |
| RAM | 16 | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| Geekbench 6 single | 2.522 | 1.586 | 1.900 | 2.219 |
| Geekbench 6 multi | 9.967 | 6.208 | 4.736 | 6.637 |
| AnTuTu | 2.150.443 | 1.509.440 | 1.258.372 | 1.898.846 |
| 3D Mark Wild Life Extreme | 4,707 points | 25.37 FPS | 4,378 points | 26.22 fps | 2,466 points | 14.77 FPS | 4,765 points | 28.54 FPS |
The internal screen is another spectacle: 7-inch AMOLED LTPO, Super HD resolution, 165 Hz refresh rate, and a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits.
Watching series on Netflix or videos on YouTube is a joy, and the longer 22:9 format makes browsing some apps, such as social networks, very comfortable. Support for Dolby Vision and touch sampling up to 300 Hz turn any game into a 10-inch experience. If you come from an older foldable or a traditional mobile, the leap in quality is brutal.
The 4,700 mAh battery is one of the surprises that I liked the most. It lasts a full day without problems, even when using the outer screen a lot and switching between apps and games.
The 68W fast charging is a lifesaver, and in half an hour you have more than 80% battery, and the 30W wireless charging is a plus to consider. In addition, you can charge other devices thanks to 5W reverse charging, something that not all rivals offer.
Cameras: Two 50-megapixel sensors and selfies that make a difference
If there is one section where foldables tend to fall short, it is in the cameras. Motorola knows this, and this year it wanted to hit the table.
The Razr 60 Ultra mounts two 50-megapixel sensors: a main one with f/1.8 aperture, phase detection focus, and optical stabilization (OIS), and a 50-megapixel wide-angle sensor with f/2.0 aperture and 122º field of view, which also doubles as a macro.
To give you a general idea, these are their cameras:
- 50-megapixel main sensor, with f/1.8 aperture, phase detection focus (PDAF), and optical stabilization (OIS).
- 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle, with f/2.0 aperture, 122º field of view, and macro function.
- 50-megapixel selfie camera, with f/2.0 aperture, integrated into the internal screen.
The wide-angle is perfect for landscapes and certain photos, and the macro function allows you to take really beautiful close-ups, although it does not reach the level of a mobile dedicated to photography.
Video recording is another strong point: you can shoot in 8K at 30 fps, and optical stabilization makes clips smooth even on the move. For social networks, 4K videos are more than enough, and stereo audio with Dolby Atmos gives a plus to recordings.
And watch out for selfies because they’re a lot of fun. You can use the outer screen to take self-portraits with the main cameras. The result is infinitely better than with the internal camera, both in detail and lighting. If you are one of those who live on Instagram or TikTok, you are going to love this.
In addition, we cannot forget, as icing on the cake, Moto AI’s artificial intelligence That helps, among other things, to improve portraits and optimize scenes, although sometimes the effects can be a little excessive, and yes, you will need a Motorola account.
