The Motorola Razr 60 Ultra has officially made its debut in South Africa, crowning itself as the absolute pinnacle of Motorola’s foldable clamshell lineup. Starting at ZAR 24,000, it targets premium buyers who want the ultimate blend of high-end fashion, an expansive, fully functional external display, and zero-compromise flagship processing power.
While the recommended baseline price starts at ZAR 24,000, final retail costs and contract tiers will vary over local networks based on your specific province, individual store promotions, and specialized cellular trade-in deals.
The device is highly accessible nationwide across South Africa’s prominent digital storefronts, premium department stores, and major mobile networks:
Mobile Operators & Network Outlets: MTN, Cellucity, 4U, and Chatz.
E-Commerce & Premium Tech Hubs: Takealot, Hi Online, and HiFi Corp.

Motorola has pushed the limits of clamshell hardware on the Razr 60 Ultra, ensuring every square inch of the device delivers high-end utility and bleeding-edge speed:
Massive, Fully Functional Cover Screen: Unlike standard flips with tiny notification windows, the Ultra features an industry-leading, massive external display that wraps completely around the rear cameras. This outer screen runs at a fluid 144Hz refresh rate, allowing you to run full Android apps, reply to messages on a full keyboard, and play games without ever opening the phone.
Blistering 165Hz Internal Display: When unfolded, the main 6.9-inch pOLED screen utilizes LTPO technology to scale all the way up to a blistering 165Hz refresh rate. It is backed by a virtually unnoticeable crease, premium HDR10+ certification, and extreme peak brightness for flawless visibility under harsh South African sunlight.
Elite Snapdragon Flagship Performance: Driving the entire experience is the powerhouse Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen series flagship processor, paired with massive RAM and fast storage configurations. This setup runs intensive multitasking and heavy mobile gaming seamlessly, all while keeping the phone remarkably power-efficient.
The phone packs a robust battery supported by TurboPower fast charging and wireless charging capabilities. Its camera architecture is top-tier, featuring a premium primary camera loaded with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) that leverages the external screen for elite-tier, main-sensor selfies. Encased in a luxurious vegan leather or premium glass finish with enhanced dust and splash resistance, it runs a clean version of Android 15 right out of the box.
