I try to remain as objective as possible as a tech journalist. I review what’s placed in front of me, leaving any previous experiences, positive or negative, at the door.

Moto understands what makes a clamshell foldable appealing, and I enjoyed every second with the Razr Ultra in my pocket. Naturally, I was excited about the encore, but the spec sheet, combined with a higher price, turned my enthusiasm into disappointment. I wanted to hate the latest Razr Ultra, but then I used it.
