The Motorola Razr Ultra (2025), one of the year’s top-rated flip-style foldables, has returned to a heavily discounted price, giving budget-conscious buyers a concrete alternative to upcoming flagship rivals.
The deal undercuts the anticipated price points of both the Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7, neither of which has launched yet.
What the Discount Means for Buyers
Flip foldables — smartphones that fold vertically along a horizontal hinge — have remained premium-priced since the category launched in 2019. Any sustained price drop on a current-generation model carries real significance for shoppers unwilling to pay full flagship rates.
The Razr Ultra (2025) launched at $1,299.99, according to Motorola’s official retail listings. At its discounted rate, buyers stand to save a substantial sum without waiting on next-generation hardware.
Competing Models Still on the Horizon
Samsung has not yet announced a firm release date or confirmed pricing for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Motorola has similarly kept specs and pricing for the Razr Ultra (2026) under wraps.
That uncertainty gives the current deal added weight. Buyers who act now lock in 2025 flagship hardware at a reduced cost rather than gambling on unannounced successors.
The Razr Ultra (2025) runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and ships with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage, per Motorola’s product specifications. It also carries a 4,000 mAh battery with 68W wired charging support.
Where the Razr Ultra Stands in the Market
Motorola holds a notable share of the U.S. foldable market, though Samsung continues to lead the overall segment. Counterpoint Research reported in early 2025 that Samsung commanded roughly 48% of global foldable shipments in 2024, with Motorola ranking among the top challengers in North America.
Still, Motorola has made consistent gains on the strength of its Razr line’s design and competitive pricing relative to Samsung’s Z Flip series.
The Razr Ultra (2025) features a 4-inch cover display — the outer screen visible when the phone is folded shut — and a 6.9-inch inner OLED panel with a 165Hz refresh rate, according to the manufacturer’s published specs.
Deal Availability
The discount applies through select U.S. retailers, though availability and duration vary by seller. Motorola has not confirmed how long the promotional pricing will remain active.
Buyers considering the Galaxy Z Flip 7 or Razr Ultra (2026) face an indefinite wait with no guaranteed savings. The Razr Ultra (2025), by contrast, represents known hardware at a known — and reduced — price.
Motorola relaunched its Razr line in 2019, reviving a brand originally made famous by the RAZR V3 clamshell phone, which sold over 130 million units between 2004 and 2006, according to Motorola's historical product records.
