I Can’t Believe I Care about a Motorola Phone…. - Motorola Razr Ultra (2025)

The video kicks off with Linus introducing Motorola’s latest foldables, the Razr Ultra and the Razr (2025), noting that Motorola aims to cover a broad audience with two distinct price points and configurations. He highlights the exterior design and the hinge as a major talking point, complimenting the subtle crease on the Ultra’s display though he cautions the real test will be how the screen performs under bright conditions. The host dives into the unboxing experience, showing included accessories and explaining that to achieve Motorola’s claimed 68 watt charging you need their proprietary brick and cable, while real-world tests capped at around 50 watts. He then moves to a quick hardware tour, pointing out the real wood back on the Ultra, the AI button for Google Gemini, and other hardware details like mics, USB-C ports, and a dual-display setup. The following segment contrasts the Ultra with the standard model, explaining the Ultra’s bigger main display, improved outer display brightness, and higher peak brightness claims, tempered by a note that their lab measurements didn’t perfectly match Motorola’s stated numbers. The review continues with remarks on software and user experience, including the commitment to three years of updates being a topic of discussion, and Linus showing some HDR content to evaluate display behavior in real time. He segues into practical features like external display multitasking, app continuity on the outside screen, and the camcorder mode, while also critiquing the lack of customizable AI button bindings. The video then shifts to performance evaluation, where they discuss the chipsets in each model, real-world gaming performance, RAM, refresh rates, and wireless connectivity, concluding that the Ultra has a noticeable edge in sustained tasks despite the Ultra being the more premium option. Finally, Linus assesses the camera system, video capabilities, and speaker performance, remarking on the phone’s form factor limitations and praising the hinge construction and the overall value proposition, while acknowledging that some claimed specs remain slightly out of reach in real use. The wrap-up reiterates that foldables are intriguing but still niche, with a nuanced verdict on whether the Razr Ultra justifies its price, and a call to viewers to share their experiences in the comments.
