The latest version of the Motorola Razr Ultra is set to hit store shelves on May 21st, but there's only one question on everyone's lips: is the 2026 upgrade worth the steep price tag?

Well, as much as I love using the latest and greatest Android devices, it's worth mentioning that Amazon is slashing a straight 46% off last year's Motorola Razr Ultra (2025), knocking the price of the flip phone down to $699.99.

The Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) is now $800 cheaper than the 2026 version with new deal

This is madness

We called the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) the "flip phone, nearly perfected" in our 4.5/5-star review, and now you can score a whopping $600 off the device by shopping at Amazon today. This record-smashing discount drops the price of the Razr Ultra (2025) down to $699.99, which is actually $800 cheaper than the upcoming 2026 model.

💲Other sellers: Best Buy - $699.99

✅Recommended if: you want a powerful flip phone with a reinforced-titanium hinge, powerful Snapdragon processor, and all-day battery life; you don't necessarily need the latest devices to be happy with your tech; you like the flexibility of buying unlocked phones.

❌Skip this deal if: you have your heart set on the upcoming Motorola Razr Ultra (2026), even if it means dropping more cash; you can get a better deal through your wireless provider.

The Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) first hit the scene last year as a dream device for flip phone lovers, coming complete with a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 16GB of RAM, and two pOLED displays with a sturdy folding hinge. You also get great battery life and some lightning-fast charging, not to mention 512GB of onboard storage as standard. One of the best flip phones ever built for $699.99? Sounds pretty great to me.

Of course, the big question is whether the 2026 Razr Ultra (set for release on May 21st) is going to be dramatically better than its predecessor. Sure, the new model has a larger battery and some upgraded camera tech, but the refinements hardly justify the $200 retail price increase, let alone the $800 gap generated by this deal.

As we've said in other articles, the Motorola Razr Ultra (2026) is one of those new devices that probably shouldn't exist. The Razr Ultra (2025) is innovative and powerful enough on its own, and this 46% discount makes my recommendation quite simple: skip the upgrade, go last-gen, save a boatload of cash.
