Moto Razr Fold price
The Razr Fold costs $1,899 in the US. There's only one configuration – 512GB – so there's no lower entry point or higher-capacity option to consider.

Moto Razr Fold camera

- 50MP main camera with Sony LYTIA sensor
- 50MP ultra-wide-angle/macro secondary camera, 122-degree FOV
- 50MP 3x periscope telephoto lens
- 32MP external selfie camera
- 20MP internal camera.
Three 50MP sensors is the Razr Fold's biggest hardware differentiator. Most book-style foldables compromise somewhere in the camera system – the Razr Fold doesn't, at least on paper. The main camera uses a Sony LYTIA sensor, the ultra-wide doubles as a macro lens, and the periscope telephoto delivers 3x optical zoom.
Video tops out at 8K at 30fps, or 4K at up to 120fps for smoother footage.

The 20MP inner camera is optimized for video calls rather than general photography, while the 32MP cover screen camera handles quick selfies without needing to unfold the phone. Having two selfie options – one per display – means you can almost always find a usable angle for a call or a snap without awkwardly repositioning the phone.
Moto Razr Fold storage
The Razr Fold comes in a single 512GB configuration. No other storage tiers are offered.

Moto Razr Fold design

The Razr Fold's exterior pulls heavily from Motorola's Edge lineup – folded up, it reads as a close relative of the Edge 50 Ultra. Two colors are available: Blackened Blue and Lily White. Blackened Blue reads almost black in most lighting but has a diamond-pattern texture that helps with grip.
Lily White goes the opposite direction with a smooth, silk-like finish.

The hinge uses a teardrop design, meaning the inner display curves more gently when folded rather than bending at a sharper angle. The crease is visible under certain lighting but less pronounced than older-generation foldables. That said, a visible crease at this price point is still worth knowing about before you buy.
The camera bump is substantial – fitting three 50MP lenses into a foldable body isn't free, and you can feel it when the phone is sitting on a flat surface.
Unfolded, the Razr Fold is 4.6mm thin. Folded, it measures 9.9mm and weighs 244 grams. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 by comparison is 4.2mm unfolded, 8.9mm folded, and 215 grams – the Razr Fold is meaningfully thicker and noticeably heavier.

The Razr Fold's 8.1-inch inner screen is slightly larger than the Galaxy Z Fold 7's 8-inch panel, and the 6.6-inch cover display edges out the Fold 7's 6.5-inch outer screen. The inner display runs at 120Hz with a 2200 x 2480 resolution at around 410ppi. The cover screen steps up to 165Hz.

Both displays are Pantone-validated for color accuracy and support Dolby Vision.
Moto Razr Fold battery
Battery is one of the Razr Fold's genuine strong suits. The 6,000mAh cell is notably large for a book-style foldable – bigger than any current Samsung or Google foldable – and it uses silicon-carbon chemistry rather than the standard lithium-ion in competing devices.
Silicon-carbon stores more energy in the same physical space, which is how Motorola fits this capacity into a chassis that folds down to 9.9mm. The Razr Fold is among the first silicon-carbon book-style foldables available through major US carriers.
Charging speeds are also competitive: 80W TurboPower wired, 50W wireless, and 5W reverse wireless for topping up accessories. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 tops out at 25W wired – the Razr Fold is considerably faster.
Moto Razr Fold features and software

The Razr Fold ships with Android 16 under Motorola's characteristically light custom interface. Motorola-specific features include Shake to Flashlight, Peek Display, and fold-optimized split-screen multitasking. On the AI side, Catch Me Up summarizes missed notifications and Next Move surfaces context-aware action suggestions.
The phone also supports the Moto Pen Ultra stylus for note-taking and annotation on the inner display.
