Following the successful resurgence of the Razr flip phone, Motorola is taking the lineup and adding a new form factor to the mix: a fully-fledged book-style foldable. The Motorola Razr Fold was revealed at CES 2026, with Motorola teasing a new stylus pen alongside it, and months after it was first teased, the phone is finally hitting store shelves.
If you're curious about Motorola's first book-style foldable and how it might stack up against the competition, you're already in the right place to learn everything you need to know about the phone.
Motorola Razr Fold: Price and availability
On April 29 2026, it was announced that the Motorola Razr Fold would be available for preorder on May 14 at Best Buy and Motorola.com, with a release date of May 21, giving users nearly a month of wait time. However, if you want to buy it from carriers, prospective buyers would have to wait a bit longer.

Motorola Razr Fold: Design
The design of the Razr Fold resembles a mix of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold with a dash of Motorola. The overall chassis doesn't look too different from many of the best foldable phones on the market. The outer 6.6-inch display appears to have a similar aspect ratio to a non-folding smartphone, while the inner 8.1-inch panel features a single camera in the top right corner. The corners are also not very rounded, with bumpers lining the inner display.
What differs from other foldables is the rear panel. Instead of glass, Motorola is opting for vegan leather, though with a diamond piqué-inspired finish for the Pantone Blackened Blue option and a silk-inspired finish for the Pantone Lily White option.
Motorola is also giving the Razr Fold its signature camera design, with what appears to be an aluminum housing that protrudes from the back panel. This is similar to Motorola's phones over the past few years, particularly its flagships.
The device is surprisingly thin if you don't count the camera bump. When opened, it measures just 4.7mm, which isn't as thin as the Galaxy Z Flip 7, but still impressive. When closed, it's just 10.4mm thin, which is just thicker than some traditional smartphones.
The internal AMOLED display measures 8.1 inches, while the outer display is a 6.6-inch AMOLED panel. The Razr Fold is also the first smartphone to use the new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, which provides better protection against concrete, asphalt, and other drops for long-term durability. The phone also has an IP49 rating, which indicates decent protection against dust particles (no smaller than 1mm) and more robust water protection against high-temperature jets.
When open, the right side of the Razr Fold's frame houses the power button/fingerprint sensor and volume keys, while the right side houses the AI Key, similar to the Razr Ultra.
The hinge is made of stainless steel, and the inner display has a titanium plate underneath to help minimize the crease.

Motorola Razr Fold: Cameras
As for the cameras, we're looking at a triple 50MP system with a Sony Lytia 828 sensor for the primary camera, which will support Dolby Vision recording. It's also Pantone Validated, so skin tones and colors should be more accurate. DXOMARK has given the Razr cameras the Gold Rating, making it the "#1 foldable camera system."
The 50MP ultrawide camera doubles as a macro sensor, while the telephoto sensor features 3x optical zoom and support for up to 100x zoom. There are also two selfie cameras, with a 20MP sensor on the inner display and a 32MP sensor on the external screen.
Video recording tops out at 8K 30fps or 4K 60fps.
Motorola is also adding some of its own AI flair to the cameras. Action Shot allows users to capture fast-moving subjects by intelligently adjusting the shutter speed. Frame Match lets users frame a photo how they want, then give the phone to someone else to capture the image and frame it just right.
This is in addition to Google Photos editing/AI features, such as Ask Photos, Help Me Edit, Magic Eraser, and more
Motorola Razr Fold: Software
The Motorola Razr Fold will run the latest version of Hello UX, based on Android 16. Given that this is the company's first book-style foldable, we expect the software to adapt to the larger internal display to make better use of the screen real estate, with features like a taskbar for pinned apps. Motorola highlights as much, noting that the Razr Fold will feature flexible layouts, adaptive interfaces, and multitasking enhancements.
Motorola also highlights AI features available on the Fold. This includes current Moto AI features like Catch me up and Next Move, but it will likely also include Motorola Qira, the company's upgraded AI solution that should appear on smartphones at some point this year. This will enable features that work across devices for better productivity and contextual awareness.
Razr Fold owners can also expect to keep their devices up to date for quite a while, as Motorola is supporting the phone with up to seven years of OS and security updates.
Motorola Razr Fold: Moto Pen Ultra
Motorola also introduced the Moto Pen Ultra, a stylus pen that can basically be seen as Motorola's version of the S Pen. Similar to Samsung's S Pen or the new active pen on the Moto G Stylus 2026, this is an active stylus with features such as tilt detection, pressure sensitivity, and even palm rejection to ensure your sketches and other pen work remain uninterrupted.
Motorola also highlights other AI-powered features, such as Google's Circle to Search and Motorola's own Sketch to Image, to give your drawings some added flair. There's also Quick Clip, which lets you easily create a new note or add to an existing one by highlighting text, and Speed Share, which suggests who to send notes or annotations to. And like the S Pen, users can access features from a quick-access toolbar.
The Moto Pen Ultra lasts up to three hours on a single charge, and comes with a fabric charging case that adds 27 more hours of battery life. The pen supports alerts that will warn when battery is low of if the pen has left your vicinity.
The Moto Pen Ultra is available to purchase as of May 21, 2026 for $99.
