Motorola competes against Samsung and Google with new Razr Fold

At CES 2026, I had the opportunity to check out the Motorola Razr Fold, a competitor to the Samsung Galaxy Fold. While we'll still learn more about what this device has to offer as Motorola reveals specs later this year, I still wanted to give it a try.

Motorola's take on the foldable phone is interesting but familiar. At this point, if you're holding one foldable book, you're holding them all, but the Razr Fold has a few nice features. I love the way the phone feels in my hand, thanks to the soft-touch back, reminiscent of the vegan leather available on the company's models. Razr flip phones. Also, although the camera bump is quite large, I like how the skin lifts up to fit the camera module and your hand fits naturally underneath it. Additionally, Pantone Lily White and Pantone Blackened Blue look like good color options.

The Razr Fold's cover display has a 6.6-inch panel and appears to have a good aspect ratio so you can type on the device with ease. When you open the device, you'll see a beautiful 8.1-inch 2K display that's slightly larger than both Galaxy Z-fold 7 And Pixel 10 Pro Foldable. The screen looked nice and the creases were only visible from certain angles.

The phone also has a triple camera setup with three 50-megapixel sensors, one of which has a 3x periscope lens. Additionally, the Razr Fold offers a 32MP external selfie camera and a 20MP internal camera. I wasn't able to test camera performance, but Motorola seems pretty confident in this camera setup since it's the same as the one on its flagship Motorola Signature phone (not coming to Canada or the US).

The phone looks and feels very good, and although Motorola has been making foldable devices for years with its Razr flip style series and even him Rizra prototypeIt's the company's first book-shaped foldable phone, and it's quite impressive. Samsung's first foldable phone was a flop, and Google all but abandoned its first Fold design. It's good that Motorola waited until it could offer a solid experience.

However, there is still a lot we don't know about the Razr Fold, such as its battery capacity, RAM capacity, processor, and more. Additionally, it will be interesting to see if Motorola can pave the way into the foldable book market. Globally, the company already faces a lot of competition. In North America, Motorola may have a better chance, but it will have to offer something different if it's going to compete with the likes of Google, which has a foldable device with a full IP68 rating, and Samsung, which showed off a foldable phone without creases at CES 2026. And with reports that Apple is also working on a foldable device this year, let's hope the Razr Fold offers an experience that will allow it to stand out.
