Motorola razr 60 Ultra

Motorola has spent three generations rebuilding the razr brand from a nostalgia play into a credible flip-foldable lineup, and the razr 60 Ultra (sold globally as the razr Ultra 2025) is the first model where the spec sheet stops asking you to forgive a mid-tier compromise. It is the only mainstream flip on sale in India in 2026 with Qualcomm's top-of-stack Snapdragon 8 Elite — the same silicon Samsung uses on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold7 — paired with 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage as the only Indian variant. The 4.0-inch pOLED cover screen is genuinely usable for the apps an Indian buyer actually opens folded — Google Pay UPI, WhatsApp, Uber, Instagram, and the standard notification triage — running the full Moto AI suite and Gemini, not a stripped-down launcher. Verified Amazon.in buyers describe powering through "almost an entire day, barely opening the main display," which is the test a flip phone has to pass to justify its form factor.

India gets the razr 60 Ultra in three Pantone-validated colours — Rio Red (the satin-textured review unit on B0F5HQW3GZ), Cabaret and Mountain Trail (the eye-catching wood-texture finish) — at a single ₹1,08,000 MRP that has been trading at a ₹79,990 deal price on Amazon.in for several weeks, sold by The Pop Market and fulfilled by Amazon with 1-year manufacturer warranty plus 10-day Service Centre Replacement. We have been carrying the 16 GB / 512 GB Rio Red review unit (ASIN B0F5HQW3GZ) for the past several weeks, and this guide is built around what genuinely works, where the form factor still costs you something concrete, and how the razr 60 Ultra stacks up against the Galaxy Z Fold7 (the book-style sibling at almost double the price) and the slab Galaxy S26 Ultra (the obvious "do I want a foldable or a tier-1 slab" cross-shop). The cult Razr V3 lineage matters here — buyers in their thirties remember the original — but in 2026 the competitive question is sharper: at a real-world ₹80,000, is a foldable worth the durability and update-window compromises versus a slab flagship at ₹1.4-1.7 lakh? This review answers that, India-context first.

The razr 60 Ultra is a 199 g aluminium-frame clamshell with a new titanium-reinforced hinge that Motorola says is rated for hundreds of thousands of folds, and visibly tightens the closure versus the razr 50 Ultra — there is almost no gap when folded flat in your palm. The rear is finished in soft-touch Pantone-validated materials: a satin treatment on Rio Red, and an unusual real-feel wood texture on Mountain Trail that genuinely looks like nothing else in this segment. Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic protects the cover screen, the main inner panel uses Motorola's standard ultra-thin glass with a polymer protective layer, and the chassis carries an IP48 rating — that means freshwater immersion up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes is fine, but the 4 in the second digit means it is not protected against fine dust, which matters if your daily commute runs through Delhi summers, the Bengaluru pre-monsoon dust storms or the Chennai coast.

The 4.0-inch pOLED cover screen is the headline. It runs at 165 Hz with HDR10+ and 10-bit colour, peaks at roughly 3,000 nits, is rated for 165 Hz scrolling, and runs the full Android 15 with Moto AI shortcuts plus a redesigned cover-screen launcher that supports practically any app — multiple verified Amazon.in buyers explicitly call out using UPI, Uber, WhatsApp, Instagram and the Moto camera with the phone closed in their palm. The 6.96-inch (17.68 cm) inner LTPO FlexView pOLED panel inside is 1224 × 2992 at 165 Hz with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, peaking at 4,500 nits — Motorola's brightest panel ever, and brighter than the inner panel on either the Z Flip7 or the Z Fold7. The Indian retail box ships with the phone, a 68W TurboPower charger (in the box, unlike Samsung), a USB-C-to-USB-C cable, a basic ESG-recycled protective case, a SIM ejector pin, the documentation booklet and Motorola's signature packaging fragrance — a small touch but a noticeable one when you open the box.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite at 4.32 GHz peak inside the razr 60 Ultra is the same Qualcomm SM8750-AB chip Samsung uses on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, paired here with 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB UFS 4.0 storage on the only Indian variant. In real-world use that translates to genuinely flagship-class day-to-day performance: app launches, multitasking and split-cover-and-main-screen workflows feel a half-step quicker than the razr 50 Ultra, and verified Indian buyers consistently describe the phone as "snappy," "zappy fast for all tasks" and "smooth" with no stuttering on Moto AI or Gemini workloads. Under sustained load the picture is more nuanced — Tech Spurt's detailed review described gaming performance as "stupidly good" for a flip and ahead of the Galaxy Z Flip7, but Digit's three-week daily-driver test specifically called out thermal throttling under longer gaming sessions and during summer-temperature camera use, which lines up with verified Amazon buyer notes that "the phone gets a bit warm when charging or using the camera." For Indian summers consistently above 38-40 °C, the small clamshell chassis is genuinely thermally constrained — BGMI at 90 fps Smooth+Extreme will hold for a 20-30 minute round, but you will feel the back warm up much faster than on a Galaxy S26 Ultra slab.

The triple-50MP camera system pairs a 50 MP f/1.8 main with OIS on a 1/1.56" sensor, a 50 MP f/2.0 ultrawide with autofocus that doubles as a 122° FOV macro, and a 50 MP f/2.0 selfie camera in the inner display — and you can shoot any of them with the phone closed using the cover screen as both viewfinder and shutter. Daylight stills are sharp, dynamic range is dependable, and Pantone-validated colour processing keeps Indian skin tones natural rather than smoothing them aggressively the way some Chinese flagships do. The honest weak spot is low light: Digit's review and several verified Amazon.in buyers explicitly note that the night pipeline applies aggressive noise reduction, the ultrawide lacks OIS, and detail in shadows trails both the Galaxy S26 Ultra's 200 MP F1.4 main and the OnePlus 15's 50 MP wide. Video recording goes up to 8K with EIS on the main, but 4K 60 fps Dolby Vision is the realistic everyday ceiling. Battery life is the second area where you trade for the form factor: 4,700 mAh sounds modest next to the OnePlus 15's 7,300 mAh and S26 Ultra's 5,000 mAh, and in practice it delivers a comfortable single day of mixed use with around 5-6 hours screen-on time, but heavy gaming, sustained 5G streaming on Jio True 5G or hot summer days will leave you reaching for the bundled 68W TurboPower brick by evening — and that brick refills 0-100% in roughly 55 minutes. 30W wireless and 5W reverse-wireless are both supported, and 5G covers the Jio / Airtel n78 and n28 bands plus Vi's rollout. Software is Android 15 with Moto AI at launch — a clean, near-stock experience with a dedicated AI key on the side — but Motorola has only committed to ~3 years of OS updates and 4 years of security patches, materially behind Samsung's 7-year promise on the Z Fold7 and S26 Ultra.
