What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the razr 70 ultra is one of the best flip phones, praising its design and materials, large cover screen, long battery life and fast charging, but find the upgrades over the razr 60 ultra small for a higher price. Tech Advisor and GSMArena criticise the short software support; GSMArena also found heavy throttling under load.
