It took a few attempts, but Motorola has finally settled on what it feels is the winning foldable smartphone formula. The Razr 50 Ultra (sold as the Razr+ 2024 in the US) isn’t a radical overhaul like previous generations – I see it more as a refinement of the outgoing model, which was already a very capable clamshell.All-new camera hardware and improved weatherproofing will appeal to fans.

with a tack-sharp OLED panel, the Razr 50 Ultra’s outer screen is so good you can almost forego flipping it open entirely. Moto has ditched the thicker top bezel, and shrunk the surrounding frame to make room for it, but kept the distinctive twin punch hole cutouts for those twin camera lenses. Apps have more room to breathe than last year, even without enabling the full screen setting (which fills the entire panel, obscuring anything beneath the camera cutouts). Typing is easier too.
