Motorola Razr Fold: Ultimate Buyer’s Guide

The Motorola Razr Fold is finally here. After being teased at CES and then again at MWC earlier this year, Motorola’s first book-style foldable is ready to take on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (and soon, the Galaxy Z Fold 8). And at $1,899, it’s going head-to-head with Samsung’s most expensive foldable, so the stakes are pretty high.

For Motorola, the Razr Fold is a big deal. The company has owned the flip phone space for the past couple of years, consistently putting out some of the best flip phones you can buy. It now owns about 67% of the flip phone market in North America. But the book-style foldable market has always been Samsung’s turf. Now, Motorola is planting its flag and saying it belongs there, too.

In this guide, we’re going to cover everything you need to know about the Motorola Razr Fold. From specs and pricing to availability, colors, and how it stacks up against the competition. Whether you’re coming from a Galaxy Z Fold, an older Motorola device, or just trying to figure out if a book-style foldable is right for you, we’ve got you covered. Let’s get into it.

Motorola Razr Fold Specs

When it comes to the Razr Fold, we already mostly knew what to expect in terms of specs, as Motorola announced these at MWC. But we now have a fuller picture of what to expect from Motorola’s first book-style foldable.

It’ll be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which is a bit of an interesting move, instead of using the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Which means that Motorola is not using Qualcomm’s most high-end chipset in its foldables this year. It also still comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage like the Razr Ultra 2026.

Here are the full Motorola Razr Fold Specs.

How much does the Motorola Razr Fold cost?

Motorola has finally unveiled the price of the Razr Fold. We expected it to be a few hundred bucks cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and that’s exactly what it is. The Razr Fold will retail for $1,899. That’s $200 cheaper than Samsung’s competitor, but it is also a step down from what Samsung has when it comes to the processor. Though, in all honesty, you likely won’t even notice the difference here.

Where can I buy the Motorola Razr Fold?

The Razr Fold will be available to pre-order from Best Buy and Motorola.com. It’ll then expand to T-Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, and Verizon in the coming months, according to Motorola.

Surprisingly, this model won’t be available from Amazon, while the rest of the new Razr models will.

What carriers does the Motorola Razr Fold work on?

The Motorola Razr Fold is sold unlocked through Best Buy and Motorola.com and will work on all three carrier networks. That includes AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. It’ll also work on any of your favorite MVNOs like US Mobile, Straight Talk, Metro by T-Mobile, Boost Mobile, and others.

What colors does the Motorola Razr Fold come in?

Motorola is selling the Razr Fold in two colors this year. That’s going to be PANTONE Blackened Blue, and PANTONE Lily White.

The PANTONE Blackened Blue is a very dark blue-black color that also has a really nice texture on the back. Almost reminding me of the Droid Turbo from many years ago. While the PANTONE Lily White is a soft-touch material, that is a sort of off-white color. Both of these colors look quite nice, but they are neutral. A bit surprising to see Motorola doing a neutral look, considering how popular the non-neutral colors have been for Motorola in recent years.

What features did the Motorola Razr Fold bring?

The Motorola Razr Fold includes a few new features, when it comes to foldables, like Google Photos memories inside Motorola’s new Daily Drops. This is a feature that is similar to Samsung’s Now Briefing, which brings in news you might be interested in, weather, your calendar, and now you’ll see some Google Photos memories.

Another Google Photos feature that is available for the Razr Ultra 2026 this year is Wardrobe. This essentially gives you a digital wardrobe, so you don’t need to tear apart your closet to figure out what to wear. These two Google Photos features aren’t yet available and will be rolling out later this Summer, likely after Google I/O.

Of course, Motorola is also still bringing in a bunch of new AI features to go with the stuff it already introduced last year, like Catch Me Up and Next Move. The dedicated AI button is remaining this time around. Which some people love, while others don’t. But it’s there. It is a great way to pull up Gemini, Perplexity, or whatever AI agent you want to use.

There’s not a lot of Razr Fold-specific software features this year, but we should know more once we get the device in our hands to play with in a week or two.

Should I buy the Motorola Razr Fold?

If you’re like me and you’ve been waiting for a book-style fold from Motorola, then today’s your lucky day. Ever since Motorola teased this at CES, I’ve been very excited to check out the Razr Fold. While it might not be as thin as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, or even the new OPPO Find N6, it is a pretty high-end fold and a serious competitor to Samsung.

I mean, we’re looking at a fairly thin device at 4.55mm, triple 50MP cameras on this one, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, and the only one in the US with a silicon-carbon battery (since OnePlus never introduced an Open 2). The Razr Fold with a 6,000mAh capacity battery should do quite well with battery stamina.

So, should you upgrade to the Razr Fold? That’s really up to you. While this is a first-generation product, technically, it’s far from Motorola’s first foldable device. The real thing here is going to be the software experience, which we’ll be able to tell you more about once we get one in for review.
