Introduction

The Motorola Razr Fold was initially unveiled in early January, but took its sweet time coming to store shelves. The long wait is finally over, as the Razr Fold has arrived in our office, together with the Moto Pen Ultra. But what's so special about this Fold?

Well, it's Motorola's first book-style foldable after numerous Razr clamshells. The Razr Fold comes with the largest screens, the heaviest of bodies, and arguably the classiest design in the segment.

The Razr Fold styling is more business than designer, which is unusual these days. It pioneers the latest Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 protection for its cover screen and comes with a stainless-steel hinge and aluminum frame. The phone is IP48/IP49-rated meaning it offers the highest level of water resistance, but is not fully sealed against dust.

The centerpiece of the Razr Fold is the 8.1-inch foldable LTPO OLED screen with 410ppi density, 10-bit color depth, 120Hz refresh rate, plus HDR10+ and Dolby Vision streaming support.

The cover screen is quite impressive, too - a 6.6-inch LTPO OLED panel with 1080p resolution, 10-bit color depth, 165Hz refresh rate, and it covering the same HDR standards as the foldable one.

The Razr Fold employs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip with 16GB of RAM. It's the second-best Qualcomm platform, with the Elite model being the top-tier.

The Razr Fold borrows its camera kit from the Motorola Signature. This means there are three 50MP imagers on the back - a wide-angle primary, a 3x telephoto, and an ultrawide camera with autofocus for macro capabilities.

The selfie cameras are uninspiring - a 32MP cam on the cover screen and a smaller 20MP one placed inside the foldable display.

The Motorola Razr Fold has symmetrical Dolby Atmos speakers tuned by Bose. It packs a 6,000mAh Si/C battery with support for 80W wired, 50W wireless, and 5W reverse wireless charging. The phone runs Android 16 out of the box and you can expect 7 major updates down the road.

Now let's open its large black box and see what's inside.

Unboxing the Motorola Razr Fold

The thick black box of the Razr Fold has the official FIFA 26 logo on its sides, as Motorola is the official smartphone partner of Mondial 2026.

The box contains the Razr Fold, USB-C cable, and a transparent plastic case for both sides of the Razr Fold.

The sides of the bundled case have matching color to the Fold's frame, golden on this occasion.

The EU retail doesn't contain a charger, but it comes with Moto Pen Ultra and its charging bed. The bed is covered in black fabric, it has USB-C port for charging and a small battery indicator.

The box also contains a spare tip for the Pen Ultra.
