The new Razr Ultra is still the best-looking phone out there

全新 Razr Ultra 依然是目前颜值最高的手机

It’s pricier than last year’s model without many updates to show for it, but it’s still so gosh dang nice. 相比去年的机型,它的价格更高,且升级幅度有限,但它依然让人爱不释手。

Look, you’re not going to find much new on the 2026 version of the Motorola Razr Ultra. There’s a new main camera sensor, a slightly bigger battery, and a higher price: $1,499, up from $1,299. But one thing hasn’t changed: this is a darn good looking phone. 听着,你在 2026 款摩托罗拉 Razr Ultra 上找不到太多新鲜东西。它配备了新的主摄像头传感器,电池容量略有增加,价格也从 1,299 美元上涨到了 1,499 美元。但有一点没变:这依然是一款颜值极高的手机。

The wood-finish back panel returns, and is joined by a new suede-like Alcantara option in orient blue. To everyone who has complained to me over the past year that “phones are boring now,” which is many-a Verge reader, please look at these phones. They are definitely not boring. They feel nice, they look nice, and they are eminently photographable. 木质纹理的后盖回归了,并新增了一种名为“东方蓝”的类麂皮 Alcantara 材质选项。对于过去一年里向我抱怨“现在的手机太无聊了”的每一位读者(其中不乏 The Verge 的忠实粉丝),请看看这些手机。它们绝对不无聊。它们手感出色,外观精美,而且非常上镜。

That’s the good news. The bad news is, well, 2026. $1,499 gets you the same 512GB and 16GB RAM storage configuration that was $200 cheaper last year. It comes with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset as last year, too. There’s a 5,000mAh silicon-carbon battery compared to last year’s 4,700mAh, and a larger 50-megapixel main camera sensor compared to the one on the 2025 Ultra. The updated camera also claims better high dynamic range performance thanks to a new sensor technology called LOFIC. These are nice upgrades, but the price increase probably has more to do with the memory shortage. 这是好消息。坏消息是,嗯,毕竟是 2026 年了。1,499 美元买到的依然是去年便宜 200 美元的同款 512GB 存储和 16GB 内存配置。它搭载的也是去年同款的骁龙 8 Elite 芯片组。电池从去年的 4,700mAh 升级到了 5,000mAh 的硅碳电池,主摄像头传感器也比 2025 款 Ultra 更大(5,000 万像素)。得益于一种名为 LOFIC 的新传感器技术,升级后的摄像头在动态范围表现上也更出色。这些升级固然不错,但涨价的原因可能更多与内存短缺有关。

There are some minor updates, too. The inner screen is capable of up to 5,000 nits of brightness compared to 4,500 on last year’s model. The outer screen is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, which claims better drop performance than the previous version. 此外还有一些细微的更新。内屏亮度最高可达 5,000 尼特,而去年机型为 4,500 尼特。外屏则由大猩猩玻璃 Ceramic 3 保护,据称其防摔性能优于上一代。

Along with the other two Razr devices, the Ultra offers a couple of new camera tricks. When shooting video in camcorder configuration with the device bent 90 degrees, you can tilt the whole device left and right to zoom in and out. You don’t see this movement in the final clip, since the device uses its gyro sensor and image stabilization mechanisms to correct it in post-processing and keep the horizon steady. 除了另外两款 Razr 设备外,Ultra 还提供了一些新的拍摄技巧。当以 90 度折叠的“摄像机模式”拍摄视频时,你可以左右倾斜整个设备来进行变焦。最终的视频片段中不会出现这种倾斜动作,因为设备会利用陀螺仪传感器和图像稳定机制在后期处理中进行校正,从而保持画面水平稳定。

There’s also a mode called Frame Match that’s designed for the moments when you need to hand your phone to someone else. You take a reference photo with the framing you want and then step in front of the camera — whoever you’re handing your phone to will see it overlaid so they can match the composition. The idea is to prevent someone from inadvertently leaving out the part of the background you wanted to capture. Personally, I’m too anxious to try and explain this concept to a stranger taking my family’s photo, but it seemed to work well enough when I played with it. 还有一个名为“取景匹配”(Frame Match)的模式,专为需要将手机交给他人拍照的场景设计。你先拍一张自己想要的构图参考照片,然后走到镜头前——帮你拍照的人会在屏幕上看到叠加的参考图,从而对齐构图。这个功能的初衷是防止对方无意中漏掉了你想要捕捉的背景部分。就我个人而言,我太社恐了,不敢向帮我拍全家福的陌生人解释这个概念,但当我亲自试用时,它确实运行得相当不错。

Like the rest of the 2026 Razr series, the Ultra will be available for preorder on May 14th and arrives on May 21st. 与 2026 系列的其他 Razr 机型一样,Ultra 将于 5 月 14 日开启预购,并于 5 月 21 日正式上市。
