Motorola is finally jumping into the big-foldable fight. After a few generations of flip-style Razr phones, the company has revealed the Motorola Razr Fold at CES, a book-style foldable that opens up like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold and Google’s Pixel Fold. It’s coming this summer, but almost everything that matters is still under wraps.
A full-size foldable, light on hard specs
Motorola isn’t sharing much, but the basics paint a familiar picture:
- 6.6-inch external display for regular phone use.
- 8.1-inch internal foldable OLED when you open it up.
- Around 2K resolution on the main panel (roughly 2,000 pixels tall), in line with other large foldables.
That puts the Razr Fold squarely in the same size class as today’s big foldables. Official dimensions, weight, battery capacity, and chipset are all still off-limits. Motorola isn’t even confirming which version of Android it will ship with.
That last part matters. The phone is launching in summer 2026, and Google reshuffled Android’s release schedule in 2025 to better align with the wave of new hardware that drops mid‑year. Whether the Razr Fold arrives on Android 17 remains an open question.
Stylus support where Samsung stepped back
One clear differentiator: stylus support.
The Razr Fold will work with the new Moto Pen Ultra, an active stylus designed specifically for the big inner display. Motorola says its own apps will support pen input at launch. The company isn’t committing to third‑party app support yet, which is exactly where Samsung’s S Pen story often fell apart on the Galaxy Z Fold line.
The timing is interesting. Samsung dropped S Pen support with 2025’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, just as Motorola is stepping in with its own pen-enabled foldable. If Moto gets the software right, the Razr Fold could become the go-to option for people who actually want to write and sketch on a tablet-sized foldable.
Triple 50 MP cameras, with a catch
Cameras are one of the few areas where Motorola is willing to talk specifics, and it’s easy to see why. Big foldables usually compromise here.
The Razr Fold will carry a triple 50 MP camera system:
- 50 MP primary camera using a Sony Lytia sensor.
- 50 MP ultrawide that also doubles as a macro camera.
- 50 MP 3x telephoto for zoom.
On paper, that’s a serious setup for a foldable, especially when some rivals only treat the main sensor as flagship-grade and cut corners on the rest.
The cost is physical bulk. The camera island on the back clearly sticks out and visually looks like it almost doubles the thickness of the phone in that area. Motorola isn’t providing measurements yet, but it’s not trying to hide the hump, either.
Foldable-first software and Motorola’s new AI layer
Motorola is promising software that actually takes advantage of the form factor, but it’s keeping the details vague for now. The company is talking about:
- “Flexible layouts”
- “Adaptive interfaces”
- “Multitasking enhancements”
Those phrases could mean anything from smarter split‑screen to app continuity between the outer and inner displays. Until Motorola shows real demos, they’re just placeholders.
The Razr Fold will also ship with Motorola’s growing set of AI features. Existing tools like Catch Me Up and Pay Attention are sticking around, and they’ll be joined by a new cross‑device AI experience called Qira.
Motorola says Qira will:
- Work across both Motorola phones and Lenovo PCs.
- Remember what you were doing on other devices.
- Help you act across apps, generate documents, and surface reminders that are supposed to be context-aware.
Qira is built on technology from companies including Microsoft and Perplexity. It’s rolling out first on Lenovo laptops, then to Motorola’s Edge and Razr lines. The Razr Fold will have Qira at launch, turning it into one of the first Motorola phones built around this new AI platform.
Price: the biggest unknown
If you were hoping Motorola would try to undercut the market, you’ll have to wait. The company refuses to give even a rough price range.
That’s notable because most book-style foldables still sit near the $2,000 mark, and the components that make them possible aren’t getting cheaper. According to Motorola, it’s simply too early to talk numbers.
For now, the Razr Fold is mostly promise: a full-size foldable with:
- 6.6-inch cover screen and 8.1-inch 2K OLED inside
- Active stylus support via Moto Pen Ultra
- Triple 50 MP camera array with a Sony Lytia main sensor
- Foldable-focused software and a new, cross-device AI layer via Qira
We’ll get the real story—specs, software details, and whether Motorola can resist the $2,000 gravitational pull—as the summer 2026 launch window gets closer.
