Design and Durability Upgrades

The Razr Ultra maintains the sleek, rounded design of its predecessor but introduces exciting new color options in collaboration with Pantone. The Pantone Rio Red features a leather-like finish, while the Pantone Scarab offers a soft suede-like feel thanks to a partnership with Alcantara. The Pantone Mountain Trail showcases a wood effect, and the Pantone Cabaret sports a satin-like finish. The deep green Pantone Scarab, with its unique tactile experience, stands out.
Beyond aesthetics, Motorola has focused on durability. A redesigned titanium-reinforced hinge and an official IP48 rating ensure the Razr Ultra can withstand the elements. It also boasts Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic, promising 10 times better drop performance and claiming the title of the strongest external display ever.
