Motorola Razr Fold review – GSMArena.com tests | Infinium-tech

Introduction

The Motorola Razr Fold was unveiled in early January, but it took a while to hit store shelves. The long wait is finally over, as the Razer Fold with Moto Pen Ultra has arrived in our office. But what is so special about this fold?

Well, this is Motorola’s first book-style foldable after several Razr clamshells. The Razer Fold comes with the biggest screen, heaviest body and arguably the best design in the segment.

The Razer 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 stainless-steel hinges and an aluminum frame. The phone is IP48/IP49-rated which means it offers the highest level of water resistance, but is not completely sealed against dust.

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

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

The Razer Fold uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip along with 16GB of RAM. It is the second best Qualcomm platform, with the Elite model being the top tier.

The Razer Fold borrows its camera kit from 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 – there’s a 32MP camera housed on the cover screen and a smaller 20MP camera housed inside the foldable display.

The Motorola Razr Fold features symmetrical Dolby Atmos speakers tuned by Bose. It houses a 6,000mAh Si/C battery that supports 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 in the future.

The Motorola Razr Fold Screen supports stylus input and like most Razrs, they also include the Motorola Pen Ultra inside their retail package.

Now let’s open its big black box and see what’s inside.

Unboxing the Motorola Razr Fold

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

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

The sides of the bundled case match the color of the fold’s frame, gold on this occasion.

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

There is also an extra tip for the Pen Ultra in the box.
