The Japan Times - Motorola September 2026 Deals: Up to $700 Off Razr Ultra and Moto G

Motorola is rolling out substantial price reductions across its smartphone portfolio for September 2026, offering discounts of up to $700 on premium devices and automatic savings on budget models. The promotions include direct price cuts on the Razr Ultra foldable, incentives for the Moto G Power, and bundle deals with free accessories for several high-end units. Additionally, the company is maintaining a 10% discount program for military personnel.

The most significant financial incentive applies to the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025), which is currently priced $700 lower than its standard retail cost. This flagship device features 1 TB of internal storage and combines a 4-inch exterior OLED display with a 7-inch internal AMOLED screen. The phone retains the compact form factor of the original Razr while offering durability suitable for daily use. Although Motorola has released newer iterations, testing indicates that performance and specifications remain comparable between the 2025 and 2026 models, allowing buyers to acquire a premium device at half the typical price point. This specific discount is valid until December 31, 2026.

For consumers seeking more affordable options, the Moto G Power remains a central offering in Motorola’s budget segment. The 2026 model has been identified as a top choice for entry-level Android devices, but the previous generation is currently available with a $100 discount. This predecessor retains the same processor as the newer version, providing adequate performance for everyday tasks and light gaming. It features a 6.8-inch bright display, long-lasting battery life, and an IP68/69 rating for water and dust resistance. Notably, it includes wireless charging, a microSD slot for storage expansion, and a headphone jack, features that have become rare in modern smartphones. Motorola is also offering an additional $20 discount for customers who trade in a qualified old phone along with a Moto Tag Bluetooth tracker.

Beyond direct price cuts, Motorola is distributing tangible incentives with the purchase of several foldable and standard devices. These offers do not require a specific promo code and are applied automatically or listed as included gifts. Buyers of the Razr+ receive a free Moto Watch and a Moto Tag tracker. Those purchasing the standard Razr are provided with Moto Buds 2 Plus headphones and a Moto Tag. The Razr Fold, which opens to an 8.1-inch screen and includes a 6,000-mAh battery for extended usage, comes with a Moto Watch, Moto Buds Loop headphones, and a Moto Tag. Qualified trade-ins can further reduce the cost of these premium models by up to $300.

The Motorola Edge series, designed for users preferring compact form factors, is also part of the current promotions. Weighing 5.66 ounces and measuring 0.28 inches thick, the device features a 6.3-inch screen. Purchasers of this model can receive a free Moto Watch and Moto Buds Loop. These bundle offers are prominently displayed on Motorola’s website and apply to new models that have not already been subjected to direct price discounts.

Motorola continues its support for military personnel with a 10% discount applicable to all regular-priced phones and accessories. This offer extends to active duty, veterans, retired service members, and reservists. Eligible individuals must verify their status through ID.me on Motorola’s online store to receive the promo code. This military discount program is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2026.

Most of the advertised deals are applied automatically at checkout, requiring no manual entry of a coupon code. However, for offers that do require a code, customers must enter it in the designated field on the checkout page. If a discount fails to apply, users are advised to verify product exclusions, expiration dates, and minimum order values. Some promotions, such as the military discount, are restricted to non-discounted items. Customers should also ensure they are not attempting to stack multiple promo codes, as this may trigger errors. Technical issues can sometimes be resolved by clearing browser cache or using an incognito window.

While Motorola does not currently offer a specific student discount, students are encouraged to check Lenovo’s website for potential specials, given the corporate relationship between the two brands. All promotions are accessible via the deals section of Motorola’s official website, where active offers are highlighted at the top of the page.
