Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Review: Bold, Wooden, And Surprisingly Powerful

Motorola Razr 60 Ultra Review: This Foldable’s Got Wood, Style, and Serious Power

Let’s face it, most phones today look like copy-paste jobs. Glass slabs. Black rectangles. Yawn. But Motorola’s Razr 60 Ultra? Now this is a phone that snaps you back to attention. Literally.

It folds. It flips. It’s got wooden backs, for crying out loud. And yes, it’s probably the most rugged foldable Motorola’s ever built.

Fold It Like It’s Hot (and Tough)

Gone are the fragile days of OG foldables. Motorola’s latest hinge has been tested up to 800,000 folds, that’s years of snapping shut in meetings for dramatic effect. The IP48 rating means it can handle splashes and some dust, though we wouldn’t take it dune-diving. Sand and foldables? Still not friends.

A Phone That’s… Wood?

Our test unit rocked the Mountain Trail variant, complete with an FSC-certified wooden back. It’s grippy, stylish, and miles apart from the usual glass-and-metal monotony. Other finish options include Alcantara, burgundy faux leather, and satin pink. Your phone, your vibe.

Top-Tier Internals

Under the hood, it’s flagship-grade:

• Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite

• 12GB RAM

• 512GB storage

• Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 5G, NFC

Basically, it’s a pocket-sized powerhouse that doesn’t flinch at multitasking or heavy gaming.

The 4,700mAh battery is a big win, larger than last year’s model and Samsung’s new Flip. Expect 2-day battery life, easy. 68W wired charging is blisteringly quick, and even the 30W wireless charging isn’t messing around.

Outer Display That’s Actually Useful

The 4-inch external screen isn’t just for glancing at time or texts. You can run full apps on it, Signal, Maps, even AI tools like Moto AI and Google Gemini. It even has a tiny keyboard for replying on the fly without flipping it open. Yes, it’s that functional.

Inside Display = Gamer’s Delight

Unfold it, and you get a 7-inch OLED display (2992 x 1224, 464 ppi) with up to 165Hz refresh rate and a whopping 4,500 nits brightness. Crease? Barely noticeable unless you go hunting for it. Typing is comfy, scrolling’s smooth, and it’s perfect for everything from Insta reels to late-night YouTube marathons.

Cameras: Solid, but Not Superstar

• The main camera delivers clean, balanced shots, though it underexposes backlit scenes a bit.

• Night mode? Meh. Works, but can’t match Pixel or Galaxy quality in low light.

• Pro tip: For selfies, flip it and use the main cams. Flex-worthy results guaranteed.

Software: Shorter Lifespan, Sadly

Here’s the catch. Motorola only promises 3 years of Android updates and 4 years of security patches. That’s a letdown, especially with Samsung and Google offering up to 7 years now. For a phone that costs $1,300 (€1,300) at launch, you’d want longer shelf life.

Good news? Street prices are already dropping online.

Final Verdict:

The Razr 60 Ultra is bold, beautiful, and built like no other. Killer internals, a surprisingly useful outer display, and battery life that shames most foldables. If you can live with the limited software support and want a phone that actually looks different, this one’s a serious contender.
