Motorola Razr 70 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S26

Our Verdict: The biggest reasons to favour the Razr 70 Ultra are the larger screen and the sharper display. It backs that up with 7.0-inch Foldable LTPO AMOLED display and 50MP rear and 50MP front cameras, while the Galaxy S26 counters with 167g weight and 10,901 active deals. Current active deals start around £525 for the Galaxy S26, versus about £1,009 for the Razr 70 Ultra. The Razr 70 Ultra is the better fit for the larger screen and the sharper display, while the Galaxy S26 is easier to justify when your priorities lean toward lower current deal pricing and a noticeably lighter body.

The S26 is the cheaper one to own: around £660 over a typical contract, £421 less than the Razr 70 Ultra.
