How does Razr Fold generally compare to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Razr Fold wins in: larger cover display (6.6 versus narrow Fold7 cover), and larger 1/1.28-inch camera sensor. Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra wins in: newer processor (Snapdragon 8 Elite), larger battery (5,000mAh), and slimmer build (4.1mm). The choice is between Motorola's design identity and Samsung's higher technical capabilities.

Is Moto Pen Ultra a genuine S Pen alternative?

Moto Pen Ultra is very similar to S Pen in Galaxy S26 Ultra in terms of functions. The core difference is the absence of built-in phone storage — S Pen tucks inside the phone itself while Moto Pen Ultra comes with a separate case. This means risk of losing the pen or its case.

Is the $1,900 price justified compared to Chinese competitors?

Chinese competitors (Oppo Find N6, vivo X Fold6, Honor Magic V6) offer similar or higher specs at $1,100-1,400 in China. The price difference is justified by: the Motorola brand in the West, US network support, easier warranty service, and purer Android experience. Those who care about "numbers on paper" won't find Razr Fold the best value for money.

Is Razr Fold available in the Middle East?

Motorola launched in India, America, and Canada. The Middle East has no confirmed official launch yet. Motorola's distribution in our region is limited compared to Samsung and Apple.

What's the difference between Razr Fold and Motorola's Razr Plus?

Razr Plus is a Flip phone that folds vertically (like Galaxy Z Flip) — small and compact. Razr Fold is a book-style phone that folds horizontally to reveal a large 8.1-inch display — completely different in form and function.

Motorola Razr Fold In for Review — Motorola's First Fold-Style Phone With 8.1-Inch Display, 1/1.28-Inch Camera, and Moto Pen Ultra at $1,900

Motorola Razr Fold — An Exciting Entry Into the Most Competitive Segment of 2026

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 as €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.

Moto Pen Ultra — Works on Both Displays

The Pen Ultra has its own case for charging. There's no clever case and pen solution like on the Oppo Find N6. 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 which opens up the menu and you can also use the stylus to power up your AI workflow.

Build and Design — What You Appreciate by Touch, Not Numbers

What truly makes the Razr Fold impressive in person is its build. You need to touch this thing to get the idea. 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.

Both Displays — 6.6-Inch Cover and 8.1-Inch Inner

The screens are 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.

An 8.1-inch inner display is a massive figure — competing with vivo X Fold6 at 8.02 inches and surpassing Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra at 7.6 inches. The 6.6-inch cover at 165Hz delivers a better without-opening experience than most competitors.

Cameras — Triple 50MP With Large Sensors

The Razr Fold is impressively well-rounded in its cameras. Three 50MP cameras on the back: a 1/1.28-inch sensor on the 23mm f/1.6 wide-angle (larger than most), a 1/1.95-inch sensor on the 71mm f/2.4 zoom (tying the industry's best), and a 12mm f/2.0 ultrawide with AF.

Weight and Thickness — The Most Obvious Weak Points

Razr Fold isn't the thinnest or lightest foldable — 10.1mm when folded shut and 243 grams. Despite this it doesn't feel overbearing and is very comfortable in the hand in both positions.

Comparison With Honor Magic V6

In a quick side-by-side with the Honor Magic V6 (lighter and slimmer in the segment): this editor finds the Razr a much more compelling offering in actual hands-on feel.

Price and Availability

$1,900 or €2,000 — placing Razr Fold in the top third of the foldable phone market. Not the most expensive (Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra will be more expensive) but not the cheapest either.
