Motorola Razr Ultra Drops to $699.99: Worth It?
A foldable phone is much easier to justify when its price moves closer to a conventional flagship. That is exactly what makes the current Motorola Razr Ultra deal interesting.
01 Event
Best Buy currently lists the unlocked Motorola Razr Ultra 512GB at $699.99, down $600 from a comparable value of $1,299.99.
02 What Changed?
The biggest change is price, not the basic product. The Razr Ultra remains a premium clamshell foldable with a large external display, a full-size inner screen, flagship-class hardware, and 512GB of storage. At $699.99, however, the folding design no longer carries the same four-figure premium.
Motorola’s current Razr Ultra specifications list a 7.0-inch internal AMOLED display, 4.0-inch external display, 512GB storage, 16GB RAM, and Snapdragon 8 Elite-class performance.
03 Why It Matters
Foldables have always asked buyers to pay extra for form factor. That premium is easier to question when a traditional flagship can offer excellent cameras, battery life, and durability for less money.
A $600 discount changes the value equation because you are paying much less specifically for the ability to fold the phone into a compact shape and use the outer screen for quick tasks.
04 What It Means for You
This deal makes the most sense if you already wanted a flip-style foldable. The external display can handle notifications and quick interactions without opening the phone, while the internal screen gives you a normal large-screen smartphone when unfolded.
If you are indifferent to the folding design, a conventional phone may still be the safer value choice because it avoids the additional hinge and flexible-display complexity.

05 Numbers + Context
- Current Best Buy price: $699.99.
- Comparable value: $1,299.99.
- Discount: $600, or roughly 46%.
- Storage: 512GB.
- Main display: 7.0 inches.
- External display: 4.0 inches.
That discount does not eliminate the normal foldable trade-offs. Long-term durability, repair cost, camera priorities, and whether you actually use the outer display still matter more than the size of the sale badge.
06 Earnyx Takeaway
At $699.99, the Razr Ultra moves from an expensive experiment into a much more defensible premium-phone purchase.
Buy it because you genuinely value the compact foldable design—not because a $600 discount makes you feel like you are saving money on a phone you never planned to buy. For someone already interested in a flip foldable, this is the kind of price that meaningfully changes the recommendation.
