Motorola announces the launch date for a new line of Razr foldable phones.

      New shades, an announced launch timeframe, and speculated price increases: the Motorola Razr 2026 is set to make a significant impact.

      The upcoming generation of Motorola’s Razr foldable phones now has a launch date. On April 20, 2026, Motorola shared a 12-second teaser video on the microblogging platform X.

      This teaser reveals that the Razr 2026 series will be officially presented on April 29, 2026, with sales likely starting on May 21, 2026, in the United States.

      What did the teaser reveal?

      The brief clip showcased close-up views of what seem to be new colors for the Razr series, with the standout being a purple quilted finish (seen on at least two devices). There were also hints of a black fabric back option and a green version, both of which are known in the Razr lineup.

      Since the teaser was shared on the company's global account, some colors might not be available in the U.S. This speculation arises from a subsequent teaser that removed those specific devices.

      What about pricing?

      While the confirmation of the Razr (2026) foldable in the U.S. is a positive development, its pricing, however, is seen as negative news. Reports indicate that the base Razr and Razr Plus may be priced up to $100 higher than last year, while the Razr Ultra could see an increase of $200.

      Thus, the most economical option in the lineup, the Razr (2026), could start at $799. On a positive note, the Razr Ultra 2026 is anticipated to feature a 5,000 mAh battery, which is an improvement of 300 mAh over its predecessor.

      Motorola’s choice to increase prices across its foldable lineup, despite the phones embracing premium finishes and new colors, suggests that consumers are moving past their initial sticker shock related to price points.

      Nonetheless, it remains to be seen if the market will accept the mid-tier specifications (particularly for the entry-level model) alongside a $100 price increase.
