Leaked measurements of the phone shared by XpertPick and OnLeaks on Thursday show that it will be slightly thicker than the 2025 version, about 0.1mm more when folded and 0.6mm more when unfolded.The full dimensions of the Ultra 2026, according to the leaked specs, are 171.3 x 74.1 x 7.8mm when unfolded and 88.0 x 74.1 x 15.8mm when folded. With the camera bump, the Ultra 2026 could be up to 9.6mm unfolded or 17.63mm folded.RelatedThe Razr Ultra proves flip phones are almost readyA little extra bulk could result in a superior phone, though. In her review of the Ultra 2025, The Verge’s Allison Johnson pointed out that it couldn’t quite compete with other high-end phones, particularly with its inconsistent camera quality. If Motorola has made the Ultra 2026 a touch thicker to allow space for a camera upgrade, or other improvements, it might be better equipped to rival similarly priced slab-style phones this time around.Follow topics and authors from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.Stevie BonifieldCloseStevie BonifieldNews WriterPosts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All by Stevie BonifieldGadgetsCloseGadgetsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All GadgetsMotorolaCloseMotorolaPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All MotorolaNewsCloseNewsPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All NewsPhonesClosePhonesPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All PhonesTechCloseTechPosts from this topic will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.FollowFollowSee All TechMost PopularMost PopularMeta gets ready to launch two new Ray-Ban AI glassesThe United States router ban, explainedNetflix is raising prices againSony is raising PS5 prices by $100 in AprilApple’s Mac Pro is dead, apparently for good this timeThe Verge DailyA free daily digest of the news that matters most.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

Motorola’s upcoming Razr Ultra 2026 is anticipated to present a slightly increased physical dimension compared to its 2025 iteration, a development that has been highlighted through leaked specifications disseminated by XpertPick and OnLeaks. These specifications detail a marginal increase in both folded (0.1mm) and unfolded (0.6mm) dimensions. Specifically, the unfolded measurements will be 171.3 x 74.1 x 7.8mm, while when folded, the dimensions will be 88.0 x 74.1 x 15.8mm. Furthermore, the presence of the camera bump is projected to contribute an additional 9.6mm unfolded or 17.63mm when folded. This subtle thickening of the device’s profile suggests a potential shift in Motorola’s design strategy. Allison Johnson, in a review of the 2025 Razr Ultra, noted shortcomings relating to camera performance and overall competitive positioning relative to premium slab-style smartphones. The projected increase in size may afford Motorola the opportunity to incorporate improvements, potentially notably in the camera system, thereby enhancing the device's ability to compete with similarly positioned devices within its price bracket. The leaked figures indicate a deliberate design choice, possibly prioritizing functional upgrades over a continued pursuit of absolute miniaturization. |
