The Motorola Razer 60 Ultra isn’t just another flip phone in a crowded market. It marks a significant upgrade in the storied legacy of Motorola’s flip phone series, blending performance and style that sets it apart from its predecessors. With its powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, sleek new design, and a revamped camera system, the Razer 60 Ultra promises to offer more than just nostalgia — it’s a modern marvel wrapped in a familiar, yet improved, package.
What’s in the Box?
Along with the Razer 60 Ultra itself, you’ll find a USB Type-C charging cable, a high-quality protective case, and a unique energy sticker that rates the phone’s efficiency. The device boasts up to 48 hours of battery life, though its drop-proof rating is relatively low — a reflection of the still-innovative but delicate hinge mechanism. To help with this, the included case isn’t just an afterthought; it’s a full-fledged accessory that doubles as a stand, offering both durability and hands-free convenience for media viewing.
Design and Build
While the overall design of the Razer 60 Ultra may feel familiar to those who have 2024’s Razer 50 Ultra, Motorola has made subtle yet impactful upgrades. The phone retains its signature 4-inch external OLED display, almost entirely made up of screen, flanked by two discreet cameras. The front of the device is now enhanced with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic, an upgrade that brings improved durability with a 1-meter drop resistance, making the phone more resilient to everyday mishaps.
One of the more dramatic design changes is the reworked hinge, now made from titanium for added sturdiness. It’s a small but significant detail, emphasizing longevity in a device that’s as much about style as it is about function. The Razer 60 Ultra’s frame is fully metal, with customizable design options that include wood, Alcantara fabric, and bolder colors like pink and red. The device now boasts an IP48 rating, offering both water and dust resistance — a step up from last year’s IPX8 rating that only provided water protection.
Display and Performance
The Razer 60 Ultra is equipped with a 4-inch OLED display on the front, allowing users to interact with apps, check notifications, and control media without even needing to unfold the phone. For media enthusiasts, the internal 7-inch OLED display is where the magic happens. With its elongated aspect ratio, it’s perfect for watching videos or immersive gaming sessions. The display offers a sharp resolution of 1224p, delivering crisp visuals and natural colors that can be further customized to the user’s preference.
At the heart of the device lies the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, delivering impressive performance in a compact form. Even during intensive use, whether streaming or playing high-end games, the phone remains relatively cool, a testament to its powerful yet efficient internals. That said, video streaming can occasionally result in minor performance hiccups — likely a byproduct of early software, which should improve with future updates.
Cameras
On the camera front, the Razer 60 Ultra presents an upgraded setup that features a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens that doubles as a macro camera. This ultra-wide lens replaces the portrait snapper found in last year’s model, a change that some users may find disappointing, though the lens offers greater versatility overall.
Motorola’s camera software includes two distinct modes: Natural, which ensures Pantone-certified color reproduction, and Signature, a custom filter mode powered by Moto AI. Moto AI adds even more functionality, with features like “Remember This” to save important content and “Pay Attention” to record meetings or lectures — a feature particularly valuable for professionals.
Battery and Charging
The Razer 60 Ultra comes equipped with a 4,700 mAh battery — a welcome upgrade from its predecessor’s 4,000 mAh capacity. This boost allows the phone to endure longer stretches of use throughout the day, although heavy users will find that video streaming still drains the battery fairly quickly. Thankfully, Motorola has incorporated 68W fast charging, which allows the device to top up in no time. For those who prefer the convenience of wireless charging, the phone also supports 30W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging, giving even more flexibility.
