Camcorder, makeup mirror, selfies with the main camera—this innovative camera phone makes so much possible

The Motorola Razr Plus 2026 (Razr 70 Plus) offers innovative camera features: Thanks to its sturdy hinge, this clamshell foldable can take selfies without a tripod or be held like a camcorder. Here’s an overview of what's possible.

The Motorola Razr+ 2026 (approximately US$ 1,100 on amazon.com) is significantly more affordable than the Ultra model, yet offers more than the Razr 2026. 

Common to all three models is the high-quality titanium-reinforced hinge, which was redesigned this year.

Extremely flexible camera use

This hinge opens up many possibilities for use, especially with the camera system. It consists of two 50-megapixel cameras on the outer display (main camera and ultra-wide-angle), as well as a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the inside.

Of course, you can take selfies the traditional way with the inner camera and get solid results. But the real highlight of the Razr+ is that, thanks to the 4-inch outer display, you can also comfortably take selfies with the outer cameras. 

This works particularly well because, thanks to its sturdy hinge, you can either prop up the Razr Plus like a tent or prop it open at a 90° angle on a table. This means you usually don’t need a separate tripod.

Videos just like from a Camcorder

If you enjoy recording videos, you can hold the phone particularly steady with one hand: To do this, fold the hinge back 90° and hold the clamshell foldable sideways like a camcorder. The phone automatically detects the hinge position and orientation and adjusts the screen position and controls accordingly.

When the phone is folded closed, you can hold it comfortably in your hand like a makeup mirror and, thanks to its very compact size, either take another selfie or actually use it to check your makeup.

High-quality and durable exterior

The high-quality back panel, made of textured, soft plastic, also gives the phone a very premium look. If the Razr+ 2026 happens to fall into water, that’s no problem thanks to its IP48 certification.
