I Took 200 Photos With the Motorola Razr Ultra and Here's What I Learned

Motorola Razr Ultra 2026

The Razr Ultra 2026 has a trio of 50-megapixel cameras: wide-angle, ultrawide and selfie. This shot was taken with the ultrawide. All of the cameras are identical to the ones on last year's Razr Ultra, but the main camera has a new type of sensor.

The main camera has a LOFIC sensor which helps perserve the detail and colors in the brighter parts of a photo like in the bright sunlight in this shot.

Main camera at 3x

The Razr Ultra lacks a dedicated telephoto lens, but many photos taken zoomed in at 2x or 3x, like this, come out decent.

The Razr Ultra applies a lot of sharpening to images. Notice the fur on the cat's belly.

The Razr Ultra and its new LOFIC sensor really shine in scenes at golden hour.

Again, the Razr Ultra does a good job balancing the slightly darker interior with the brighter scene outside of the window.

I like the different textures captured in this photo of an old rusty truck.

Night Vision mode

Night Vision, Motorola's name for night mode, has really improved with the Razr Ultra 2026.

One of the best parts of any Razr clamshell phone is that is can act as its own tripod. I can use the cover screen as a preview and trigger a selfie countdown timer by holding my palm to the camera.

Ultrawide camera

I dig the way this ultrawide camera distorts scenes. It's just enough to look dramatic without going full fisheye.

The front of a restaurant and its tattoo art-like sign really pop in this photo.

This image of a pour-over coffee from the main camera was taken under a mix of daylight and warm overhead lighting.

Here's another wide dynamic range scene that the Razr Ultra nailed. It kept the photographer, CNET's Celso Bulgatti, well-exposed while capturing the scene outside the windows.
