Since then, the company has churned out a series of foldable flip phones, but the new Razr Fold is its first attempt at a tablet-style foldable. Samsung, Google, and others have been making devices like this for a while, so we know the formula, and the Razr Fold doesn’t change the game.Like the competition, the Razr Fold has flagship specs and a giant foldable display that fits in your pocket. It also comes with a hefty $1,900 price tag. While Motorola has made progress overcoming some traditional shortcomings of foldables, the phone still feels rather impractical, while still being very cool.Is “cool” enough reason to spend almost two grand on a phone, though?Living up to the nameThe Razr Fold lives up to its flip-phone namesake—the device is pretty slim for a foldable, measuring 10.1 mm when closed and 4.7 mm when open. It’s not as svelte as theSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, but it beats theGoogle Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The weight also falls right in the middle at 243 g. Motorola has a lot of experience with hinges, and the Razr Fold reflects that. The movement feels smooth, and the hinge can be held at almost any angle without wobbling. When open, the phone is very nearly flat. It’s a few degrees shy of perfect, but it’s closer than Samsung’s Fold 7.The Razr Fold is easy to handle.Credit:

      Ryan WhitwamThe phone feels solid, but it doesn’t carry the same durability rating as most other flagship smartphones. It’s IP49-rated, which means it’s water-sealed but not resistant to dust and particulates. That could be a problem for a device with a movable hinge.Specs at a glance: 2026 Motorola Razr seriesRazr 2026 ($800)Razr+ 2026 ($1,100)Razr Ultra 2026 ($1,500)Razr Fold ($1,900)SoCMediaTek Dimensity 7450XSnapdragon 8s Gen 3Snapdragon 8 Elite “Pro”Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5Memory8GB12GB16GB16GBStorage128GB256GB512GB512GBDisplayExternal: 3.6-inch 1056 x 1066 OLED, 90 Hz, 1700 nits; Internal: 6.9-inch 1080 x 2640 OLED, 120 Hz, 3000 nitsExternal: 4-inch 1272 x 1080 OLED, 165 Hz, 2400 nits; Internal: 6.9-inch 1080 x 2640 OLED, 165 Hz, 3000 nitsExternal: 4-inch 1272 x 1080 OLED, 165 Hz, 3000 nits; Internal: 7-inch 1224 x 2992 OLED, 165 Hz, 5000 nitsExternal: 6.6-inch 2520 x 1080 pOLED, 165 Hz, 6000 nits; Internal: 8.1-inch 2484 x 2232 LTPO OLED, 120 Hz, 6,200 nitsCameras50 MP wide, f/1.7; 50 MP ultrawide, f/2.0;32 MP selfie, f/2.450 MP wide, f/1.8; 50 MP ultrawide, f/2.0;32 MP selfie, f/2.450 MP wide, f/1.8; 50 MP ultrawide, f/2.0;50 MP selfie, f/2.050 MP wide, F/1.6; 50 MP ultrawide with Macro, f/2.2;50 MP 3x telephoto; 32 MP outer selfie, f/2.4; 20 MP inner selfie, f/2.4SoftwareAndroid 16Android 16Android 16Android 16Battery4800 mAh, up to 30 W wired charging, wireless charging4500 mAh, up to 45 W wired charging, wireless charging5,000 mAh, up to 68 W wired, wireless charging6000 mAh, up to 80 W wired charging, 50 W wireless charging (unsupported)ConnectivitySub-6 GHz  5G, Wi-Fi 7Sub-6 GHz  5G, Wi-Fi 7Sub-6 GHz  5G, Wi-Fi 7Sub-6 GHz  5G, Wi-Fi 7MeasurementsOpen: 171.30 × 73.99 × 7.25 mmClosed: 88.08 × 73.99 × 15.85 mm, 188gOpen: 171.42 × 73.99 × 7.09 mmClosed: 88.09 × 73.99 × 15.32 mm, 189gOpen: 171.48 × 73.99 × 7.19 mmClosed: 88.12 × 73.99 × 15.69 mm, 199gOpen: 160 height × 144.4 width × 4.55 depth (mm); Closed: 160 height × 73.6 width × 9.89 depth (mm), 243gColorsHematite, Violet Ice, Sporting Green, Bright WhiteMountain ViewOrient Blue, CocoaBlackened Blue, Lily WhiteBecause the Fold has buttons on both edges, you get a somewhat cluttered arrangement when the device is closed. The volume buttons are near the top, and the AI button is right next to them. It’s textured differently, which helps a bit, but I’ve still accidentally pressed it on a few occasions. The power button is below that, so it’s easier to find by touch. It’s not wobbly, but there’s very little tactility, making it hard to know when you’ve pressed it. There’s a fingerprint sensor in the button as well. It’s fast and accurate—no complaints there.The external 6.6-inch display is tall but usable thanks to the slim bezels. The soft-touch plastic back has a grippy texture, which is also appreciated on a device you have to torque to open and close. The current Samsung and Google foldables are too smoot
