Weekly poll: will you buy the Motorola Razr Fold? | Infinium-tech
Motorola joined the flip foldable market very early on with the Razr 2019, a few months before Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip (the delayed launch meant these two arrived very close together). However, Samsung started with book-style foldables just over a year ago, while it took Motorola that long to make the first one.

The Razer Fold features a 6.6″ cover display, a 21:9 LTPO panel with a 1080p+ resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate. The internal display is an 8.1″ LTPO panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a squarish aspect ratio (2,232 x 2,484px). The optional Moto Pen Ultra stylus works on both displays.
The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (not the Elite version) and houses a fairly large 6,000mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. This is much larger than the 4,400mAh battery of the Galaxy Z Fold7 (25W wired / 15W wireless charging) and the 5,015mAh battery of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold (30W / 15W). This is the magic of Si/C batteries that Samsung, Google and Apple have so far refused to adopt.

The phone is equipped with a 50MP main camera (with a large 1/1.28” sensor and OIS), a 50MP 3x/71mm periscope (with a 1/1.95” sensor, OIS) and a 50MP ultra-wide module (122°). There are two selfie cameras on board – a 32MP unit on the cover display and a 20MP unit inside.

The phone has been given IP48/IP49 rating for protection against submersion and water jets. Its thickness when folded is 10.1 mm (8.9 mm for Samsung and 10.8 mm for Google phones) and weight is 243 grams (215 grams for Samsung and 258 grams for Google phones).
While there are no book-style foldables outside of Samsung and Google (and soon Apple) in the US and Canada, there are in Europe and India. For example, the Honor Magic V6 is launching in Europe soon (price unknown, V5 available at €1,300).
The Motorola Razr Fold is priced at EUR 2,000 / GBP 1,800 / INR 150,000 / USD 1,900 / CAD 2,700, which is slightly lower than the launch prices of the Galaxy Z Fold7 (and remember that Samsung has had to raise prices recently, which will likely affect the Z Fold8 as well). Either way, this is not a budget foldable by any means.
