Motorola Razr Plus 2026 Adds Titanium Hinge, IP48 Rating at $1,100

Summary

  • $1,100 Razr Plus 2026 pairs a titanium-reinforced hinge with an IP48 rating, with Motorola pitching the materials as a way to cut weight and withstand frequent folding.
  • At 189 grams, the flip phone is roughly in line with rival clamshell foldables despite a slightly larger inner display, suggesting the hinge upgrade is aimed more at durability than major weight reduction.
  • Two weeks of testing showed the hinge still opening smoothly and holding multiple positions, while the display crease remained invisible and only faintly noticeable by touch.
  • Gorilla Glass Victus is rated to survive 2-meter lab drops, but the IP48 protection still leaves the phone vulnerable to fine dust that could damage the hinge or internal protective film.
