I went to a FIFA World Cup match with a Motorola Razr. Here are the 5 best camera features I was shooting at the time, and how you can get a serious discount on the powerful Razr flagship

Published:


The whole world is watching soccer (or football, depending on where you are) right now, and I was lucky enough to attend the game here in Seattle, courtesy of Motorola, the Official Smartphone Partner of the FIFA World Cup 2026. I picked up a few Razr phones, including the Razr Ultra 2026, the Razr Fold, and last year’s Ultra 20 game. Motorola’s best camera features, and one of them is happening deeply discounted for Prime Day.

The Razr Ultra 2025 launched in 2025 for $1,299, but thanks Big Dayyou can get almost half off for just $684. The Razr Ultra 2026 and Razr Fold aren’t on sale on Prime Day, but Motorola still has attractive trade-in discounts and hundreds of dollars worth of discounts you can get on either phone.

Action Shot freezes every once in a while

Getting a good, clean picture when players are constantly moving around can be difficult. Fortunately, Motorola’s Action Shot feature saved the day on most occasions by increasing the shutter speed and freezing every now and then.

Fortunately, Motorola has made the button easily accessible, right there lower right corner of the viewfinder. And if you have a Razr Fold, you can take Action Shot further by zooming in on the scene, so you can shoot from the top of buildings.

Camcorder mode gives you smooth video

If you prefer to capture video, Camcorder Mode is the best way to get smooth video. Just bend your phone at a 90-degree angle and start recording. On the Razr Ultra 2025, you can slide your thumb up and down or forward and back to easily zoom in and out at any time. With the Razr Ultra 2026, you can do the same thing by tilting the device slightly to either side, all while keeping the video locked to the horizon with Horizon Lock.

And don’t forget to turn on Dolby Vision for brighter color, and make sure your resolution is set to 4K60 for extra smooth video.

Active Images give each image more context

Capturing fast-moving photos and high-quality video is one thing, but Active Photos is great for capturing moments before you take a photo. This is great for tight moments, especially when you’re shooting someone scoring a goal, giving you more context leading up to that important moment.

This feature is easy to access on the Razr Ultra 2026 and Razr Fold; just tap the Active Photos icon above/next to the viewfinder (two circles and a dot). After capturing each active image, you can press the movement button while previewing it in Google Photos to play the video, and choose to save the moment as a separate still, GIF, or video. Just remember to turn on Active Photos when you return to the camera app, as it’s not always on.

Cover Screen lets you take the best selfies

Perhaps my favorite way to use the Motorola Razr phones is to take selfies with the rear cameras and cover screen. The external display acts as a viewfinder, allowing you to take high-quality selfies without opening the phone. You can also do this when taking photos of others: just turn on the external viewfinder using the button in the top left corner, and your friends can see themselves before you take the photo.

But for the best zoom…

The Razr Ultra flip phones have a great zoom range for photos and videos, but if you’re looking for some serious action, you’ll want the Razr Fold. I was able to capture great shots of the players and spectators at up to 10x zoom. With Super Zoom Prothe Razr Fold can also take amazing photos up to 50x zoom, but I found I didn’t need it here. Still, the option to use up to 100x zoom is here, and whether you’re shooting close-up photos or video, the Razr Fold can get the job done.
