Motorola Enters Big Foldables With Razr Fold Launch Tease

Key Highlights

  • Motorola confirms its first book-style foldable, the Razr Fold
  • Launch timeline set for summer 2026
  • 6.6-inch cover display and 8.1-inch inner OLED panel
  • Triple 50MP camera setup teased
  • Moto Pen Ultra stylus support confirmed
  • New AI platform Qira to debut on the device

Motorola has officially revealed the Razr Fold, its first book-style foldable smartphone. The announcement was made during CES 2026, marking a major shift for the brand that has so far focused only on flip-style foldables.

Unlike the Razr clamshell phones, the Motorola Razr Fold follows a tablet-style folding design. It opens like a book and competes directly with devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Google Pixel Fold series. Motorola has confirmed that the phone will launch in summer 2026, though pricing remains undisclosed.

Familiar size, competitive display setup

Motorola says the Razr Fold will feature a 6.6-inch outer display paired with a large 8.1-inch internal OLED panel. The main foldable screen will offer a 2K resolution, aligning it with other premium foldables in the market.

While Motorola has not shared refresh rate or brightness details, the company positions the display experience as flagship-grade. The overall size and layout suggest Motorola is aiming for familiarity rather than experimentation in its first big foldable.

Stylus support sets Razr Fold apart

One standout feature is Moto Pen Ultra support. Motorola has designed the active stylus specifically for the Razr Fold. The company confirms deep integration within its stock apps, making note-taking and productivity a key focus.

Stylus support on book-style foldables has been inconsistent across brands. Motorola’s confirmation gives the Razr Fold a clear differentiation angle at launch.

Triple 50MP camera system revealed

Motorola has also confirmed a triple 50MP rear camera setup. This includes a Sony Lytia primary sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide camera with macro support, and a 50MP 3x telephoto lens.

Foldables often compromise on camera hardware due to space constraints. Motorola’s choice suggests a push toward competitive imaging, although real-world performance remains unknown.

AI-driven software and Qira platform

On the software front, Motorola highlights adaptive layouts, flexible interfaces, and enhanced multitasking designed for the foldable form factor. Specific features have not been detailed yet.

The Razr Fold will also debut Qira, Motorola and Lenovo’s new AI platform. Qira aims to maintain user context across devices, assist with tasks, and provide actionable reminders. The platform relies on partnerships with companies like Microsoft and Perplexity.

Pricing and launch expectations

Motorola has not shared pricing details for the Razr Fold. Most book-style foldables currently retail near the $2,000 mark, and component costs continue to rise.

More information on specifications, software, and pricing is expected closer to the summer launch window.
