With all the hype surrounding the iPhone Fold, it's easy to forget that there are other foldable phones scheduled to be released later this year. One of the most notable examples is the Motorola Razr Ultra 2026 (or Razr 70 Ultra outside the U.S.), and thanks to new renders from OnLeaks, we have an idea of what might be changing on this year's model.

As usual, OnLeaks has developed his own renders based on leaked CAD files — in partnership with Xpertpick. While this does give us an idea of what to expect from the new phone, OnLeaks has often pointed out that CAD files don't show every minuscule detail. So there may be some differences between these renders and the final model.

Does extra thickness matter?

In the grand scheme of things, it's not such a big difference, but there are a bunch of people out there who care about having the thinnest phone possible — it's why devices like the iPhone Air exist after all. Plus, compared to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, which is 6.5mm and 13.7mm thick, there's a much more noticeable difference.

If it means extra battery capacity, or some other physical hardware feature like Qi2 wireless charging, then the trade-off could easily be worthwhile.

It's not a huge amount of extra thickness, but when you're talking about millimeters rather than fractions of a millimeter, it could affect the phone's overall weight. The Razr Ultra 2025 is already slightly heavier than the Z Flip 7, and I don't see the Ultra 2026 being able to shed those extra grams, since it's physically bigger. Thickness may not be noticeable to a lot of people, but extra weight sure is.

Of course, the reason for that extra shot of bulk also needs to be taken into account. If it means extra battery capacity, or some other physical hardware feature like Qi2 wireless charging, then the trade-off could easily be worthwhile.

Beyond this, though, the Razr Ultra 2026's design remains unchanged. The inner screen is still 7-inches, while the outer cover display is 4-inches — complete with two main camera lenses. The Moto AI button has also made a return, along with your usual array of buttons and other external features.

Renders and CAD files, of course, don't reveal much about the phone's software. So we'll just have to wait and see what other leaks reveal ahead of the Razr Ultra 2026's inevitable launch later this year.
