I still remember when I was in school and loved the thrill of flipping open my mom’s Motorola Razr2, playing games, hovering over the menu and even making calls. It felt like I was holding a futuristic device in my hands with no thought that flip phones would evolve into what they are today: sleek, functional, feature-packed and so smooth.
Fast forward to 2025, the same company has introduced its flagship Razr 60 Ultra, its most advanced clamshell foldable yet. While many things, including the software, display, performance, and features have evolved in over 15 years, the iconic flip design still remains or I would say it’s more durable.
I recently got my hands on the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra and have been using it over the week and one thing is for sure, it’s more than a nostalgic callback. The design is better and durable, the in-hand feel is stylish and the cover screen is more capable. I have been using the Razr 60 Ultra as my primary phone for the past three weeks and here are the reasons why I think it might just be Motorola’s most exciting foldable yet.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Review: Design
Since we were already talking about the design, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra comes with some major design changes. The company claims to have finally fixed the durability issues by adding a titanium-reinforced hinge. The company also claims that SGS has certified it to withstand more than 800,000 folds, which is a good number to restore trust in the Razr series after many users raised durability concerns in the past, but how effective it is, only time will tell.
Coming to the protection offered, the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra offers Corning Gorilla Glass with Ceramic Shield, which is again a good thing for clumsy users like me. It also features IP48 certification, which has been the long-standing standard for flip phones. At just 200g and 7.29mm thin when unfolded, the phone feels lightweight yet premium.
I got the PANTONE Mountain Trail colour variant, which the company claims offers a real wood finish. However, the texture feels somewhat displeasing to me. On the front, there’s a noticeable crease on the screen, pretty typical for flip phones and something you get used to over time.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Review: Display(s)
The display is yet another interesting aspect to talk about. The 4-inch LTPO pOLED cover screen can now support a 165Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, 10-bit colour, and full DCI-P3 coverage, with a claimed peak brightness of 2400 nits. In our Calman tests, we measured 850 nits manually and up to 2,640 nits in auto-brightness mode, making it suitable for use in bright outdoor conditions.
The cover display’s user interface has improved in functionality and usability. There is now extensive customisation support, including different themes, interactive panels, games, and much more.
Inside, the main foldable screen gets a significant upgrade. It’s a 7.0-inch 1.5K Super HD pOLED panel, with LTPO and a 165Hz refresh rate. It’s Dolby Vision-certified and Pantone Validated, and in actual use, the screen delivers excellent colour accuracy and brightness. Our tests using the SpectraCal C6 Colorimeter recorded a Delta E of 0.9, which is pretty good and means that you will experience accurate colours whether browsing on the web or watching videos on YouTube. Overall, the display offers a vibrant and fluid experience.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Performance
Motorola seems to have paid attention to performance-related feedback from the previous Razr model and it’s evident in the new Razr 60 Ultra. The device features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage, a big upgrade over Razr 50 Ultra. On paper, it’s a flagship-ready setup, and in our testing, the performance gains were clearly visible. Benchmark scores, particularly on Geekbench and PCMark Work, show a big improvement over its predecessor.
However, the Razr 60 Ultra still faces the familiar challenge of thermal throttling. In the CPU throttling test, we saw CPU clock speed capping at around 3.53GHz, whereas the company claims 4.32GHz as the maximum. This throttling, where the processor slows down to manage heat better, is common in the slim foldables as they have thermal headroom due to their compact build, but not with this device. In our testing, the device maintained around 78% of its peak performance under load, which is still respectable. However, heat buildup during heavy tasks was noticeable.
On the software front, I really like what Motorola is offering. The UI remains clean, minimal, and largely bloatware-free. The company has optimised the navigation between flips and folds very seamlessly. Users can expect 3 years of major Android updates and 4 years of security patches.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Camera
Motorola’s Razr 60 Ultra comes with a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide sensor, and a 50MP front camera, all backed by its Moto AI and Pantone Validated colour tone. While this sounds impressive on paper, real-world usage reveals mixed results. I was able to take some decent shots.
While daylight shots offer good detail, portrait mode often struggles with focus, and subject separation isn’t always accurate. Colours tend to shift darker in challenging lighting, with high contrast affecting skin tones.
Low-light photography is another area that falls short, as images lose focus and dynamic range, despite the post-processing. The ultrawide and macro lens is versatile but lacks consistency in detail and colour accuracy.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Battery
The Razr 60 Ultra has a 4700mAh battery, which is impressive by flip phone standards. It allows for 68W fast charging, 30W wireless charging, and reverse power sharing.
In our tests, the phone charged completely in 55 minutes, which is relatively quick for this segment. More importantly, the battery life held up well, with close to 16 hours of screen time in the Work 3.0 Battery Life test.
This equates to more than a day of real-world use under normal conditions, which includes browsing, social media, and occasional camera use. It is a dependable all-day performer, making it one of the more practical foldables for normal use.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra AI and Features
Motorola claims that the Razr 60 Ultra is the best AI flip phone. It offers a bunch of AI features like Look and Talk which allows hands-free interaction by simply glancing at the device, Catch Me Up 2.0, Pay Attention for live transcription, and Auto Screenshot Blur, which focuses on convenience and privacy. The AI Image Studio offers creative utilities such as text-to-image generation, sticker creation, and avatar design, which works fine.
With benchmark scores of 2,000,077 on AITUTU, 22,697 on Procyon AI, and 12,851 on AI Benchmark, it is a solid upgrade over last year’s flip. Overall, the Razr 60 Ultra makes a strong case for itself if AI capabilities are on your checklist.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Verdict
Motorola has certainly upped its game with this year’s flip. The titanium-reinforced hinge increases durability, while the vibrant 4-inch cover screen and 7-inch LTPO pOLED main display combine style and functionality. The Snapdragon 8 Elite improves performance significantly, making everyday tasks and multitasking more efficient. The addition of AI features such as Look and Talk, Catch Me Up, and AI Image Studio improves the overall package.
That said, at Rs 99,999, this sits firmly in the ultra-premium category. For users who prioritise camera performance or intensive gaming, more traditional flagship options like Vivo X200 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S25+ and Oppo Find X8 Pro might offer better value, depending on individual needs and usage patterns.
