Verizon is finally catching up with Motorola's latest foldables
Sep 24, 2026 — 1:57 PM ET

- Verizon has announced nationwide availability of the Razr Fold, Razr Plus (2026), the Swarovski edition Razr (2026), along with the Moto Watch Ultra.
- Surprisingly, the Razr Fold and the Swarovski-branded Razr (2026) have a steeper price tag than their unlocked counterparts.
- Verizon is offering the Moto Watch Ultra for free after monthly credits if you bring a device or buy a new one from the carrier.
Motorola’s first book-style foldable, the Razr Fold (2026), reached US shelves in May this year, alongside the 2026 iterations of the Razr Ultra, Razr Plus, and the entry-level Razr. Earlier this month at IFA 2026, Motorola also took the wraps off the Swarovski edition Razr (2026) and the Moto Watch Ultra. It’s taken a while, but all models (except one) are now officially available via Verizon.
The carrier has announced the nationwide availability of the Razr Fold (2026), alongside the Razr Plus (2026), and the Swarovski-branded Razr (2026). Verizon will also offer the Moto Watch Ultra for free through bill credits if you buy a Motorola device or bring your existing phone, though customers will need to add a new watch line.
Verizon quotes a retail price of $1,949.99 for the Razr Fold, compared to the $1,899.99 price tag on the Motorola US website. Meanwhile, the Razr Plus (2026) stays at $1,099.99, while the Swarovski-laden Razr (2026) gets a $100 price bump over its $900 launch-day price tag.

To jog your memory, the Razr Fold is Motorola’s high-end offering featuring an 8.1-inch OLED inner display and a 6.6-inch OLED cover screen. You will find three 50MP rear cameras here: a standard wide sensor, a periscope telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide unit. 32MP and 20MP sensors sit on the inner screen and the cover display, respectively.
It’s equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, 512GB of storage (expandable), and 16GB of RAM, backed by a massive 6,000mAh battery underneath.

The more conventional flip-style foldable, the Razr Plus (2026), packs a punch with its 6.9-inch foldable OLED screen and a capable 4-inch cover display. It features the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 SoC, and Verizon offers the Razr Plus in a single 256GB/12GB configuration, backed by a 4,500mAh battery. Two 50MP cameras sit on the cover screen, complemented by a 32MP selfie camera.

Lastly, the Razr (2026) with Crystals by Swarovski sports the same hardware as its standard variant. This includes a 6.9-inch OLED foldable screen and a smaller 3.6-inch AMOLED cover display. The company is opting for MediaTek’s Dimensity 7450X chip here, with only a 256GB/8GB version available.
Among the visual changes in this variant is a 32-facet crystal on its hinge, a sparkly upgrade over the predecessor. You also get a 4,800mAh battery, which should comfortably last more than a day with light to moderate use.
All three foldables come with Android 16 out of the box, and Android 17 should be on the horizon. However, only the Razr Fold is guaranteed seven Android updates and seven years of security patches. By comparison, the Razr Plus (2026) and the Swarovski-branded Razr (2026) are only promised three major updates and four years of security updates.

The Moto Watch Ultra, on the other hand, is the company’s comeback to Wear OS after headlining Google’s smartwatch platform when it was known as Android Wear. It features a 1.5-inch pOLED screen with 2,700 nits of peak brightness, and runs on the Snapdragon W5 Plus Gen 1 chip. Motorola promises two days of battery life on the Watch Ultra, thanks to the 550mAh battery.
