Motorola’s first book-style foldable is impressive, despite not being the best on paper. The Razr Fold isn’t the lightest, doesn’t have the very best chipset, nor the biggest battery. But somehow, the Razr Fold feels better than most of its rivals.
Let’s first unbox it. You can get the Razr Fold in 16/512GB configuration and two colors – Pantone Blackened Blue and Lily White, priced at $1,900 or as much €2,000.
In the box, you’ll find the phone itself, a two-piece case, and a USB-C cable. Motorola also offers the Moto Pen Ultra either as a bonus or as a separate accessory, depending on your location.
The Pen Ultra has its own case for charging. There’s no clever case and pen solution, like on the Oppo Find N6. So, try not to lose the case, ok?
The Moto Pen Ultra
The Moto Pen Ultra works on both displays and is very much akin to the S Pen on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It has a button on it, which opens up the menu. You can also use the stylus to power up your AI workflow.
What truly makes the Razr Fold impressive in person is its build. You need to touch this thing to get the idea, but I’ll try to describe it as best I can.
The rear panel is classic Moto, with the camera island gently elevated above the rest of the panel’s surface. The screen upfront is also covered by curved glass, which makes swiping at the edges lovely.
Speaking of screens, they’re among the bigger in the class – 6.6-inch on the cover and 8.1-inch on the inside. The big screen is a 120Hz AMOLED with all the bells and whistles. The cover screen is a notch faster at 165Hz.
They get plenty bright at just over 6,000 nits.
Screens
The Razr Fold is impressively well-rounded when it comes to its cameras. You get all 50MP on the back, with a larger-than-most 1/1.28-inch sensor on the 23mm f/1.6 wide-angle, an industry-tying 1/1.95-inch sensor on the 71mm f/2.4 zoom, and a 12mm f/2.0 ultrawide with AF.
It’s a solid system, on paper, and we’re optimistic going into the Razr Fold’s review.
The Razr Fold isn’t the thinnest or lightest foldable around. It’s 10.1mm when folded shut and 243 grams. Despite this, it doesn’t feel overbearing, and it’s very comfortable in the hand, in both of its positions.
Here’s a quick look at the Razr Fold next to one of the segment’s most lightweight and compact models, the Honor Magic V6. We can spend all day comparing them spec-for-spec, but in the hand, and on the eyes, this editor finds the Razr a much more compelling offering.
