Motorola has taken a big step into the premium foldable phone market by introducing the Motorola Razr Fold at the CES 2026 tech show in Las Vegas. This new device marks the company’s first book-style foldable smartphone, moving beyond its familiar flip-style Razr clamshell models and joining competitors in the expanding foldable segment.
A New Direction For Razr
For years, Motorola’s Razr series focused on clamshell-style foldable phones, reviving the iconic Razr name with compact flip devices. The Razr Fold, however, opens like a small tablet, offering users a larger and more versatile form factor that blends the convenience of a phone with the productivity of a mini-tablet.
The trend toward book-style foldable phones has been growing, with brands competing to offer larger internal screens and enhanced multitasking features.
Large Displays And Productivity
The Razr Fold features two key screens:
- A larger inner display measuring around 8.1 inches with high resolution for immersive content, multitasking, and creative use.
- A cover screen around 6.6 inches, designed for quick access and everyday phone tasks without unfolding the device.
This design gives users a seamless transition from a regular smartphone experience to a broader workspace when opened, making it ideal for video streaming, document editing, and split-screen tasks.
Camera And Accessories
Motorola has equipped the Razr Fold with a high-resolution camera setup, including a 50 megapixel main camera, complemented by additional sensors to cover wide-angle and zoom needs. Both the outer and inner screens include front camera options for selfies and video calls.
In addition to the foldable itself, Motorola showcased accessories like the Moto Pen Ultra stylus, designed to work with the Razr Fold for note-taking, sketching, and enhanced on-screen precision. These productivity features aim to make the Razr Fold more useful for creative and professional use, beyond typical smartphone functions.
Design And Options
The Razr Fold is being offered in multiple stylish colours, appealing to users who want premium aesthetics as well as cutting-edge technology. Motorola has paid close attention to both functional design and visual appeal.
While pricing and exact release dates have not been confirmed yet, the company indicated that the phone should launch later in 2026. Final details on availability and market regions are expected in the coming months.
Competing In The Foldable Market
With this launch, Motorola positions the Razr Fold against established foldable rivals from other major manufacturers. By combining a large internal screen, versatile usability, strong cameras and stylus support, Motorola aims to attract users who want a powerful, flexible device that bridges the gap between phones and tablets.
