Moto Razr Fold camera

The device is packing a serious triple-camera system on the back with three 50 MP sensors: main one, an ultrawide, and a 3x telephoto. The Razr Fold's main camera is covered by the Sony LYT-828 sensor, the company's current go-to sensor for cameras, equipped with OIS and an f/1.6 aperture.
- 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.
The 3x telephoto camera also offers AI-powered 100x digital zoom and OIS as well.
For selfies, we're getting two options: a 20 MP camera on the big internal display for video calls and a 32 MP camera on the cover display for quick snaps on the go. Both should be more than enough to keep your social media looking sharp.

The phone can record video of up to 8K at 30 fps. If you choose to record 4K video, you can choose the incredibly smooth and sharp 120 fps.
Moto Razr Fold storage
Curiously enough, Motorola is not giving you storage options to choose from. The phone is available only with 512 GB of storage.

It's a pretty thin device, but it still has a chunky camera bump on the back. For selfies, you'll find one camera centered on the cover screen and one on the top left of the main display.
You can pick between two colors: Blackened Blue and Lily White. The blue version is basically black, but it has a cool diamond pattern that makes it easy to grip. If you go with Lily White, you get a smooth and premium silk-like finish.
The Razr Fold is 4.6 mm thin when opened and 9.9 mm when folded and weighs 244 g. So, it's noticeably thicker and heavier than the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is 4.2 mm thick when opened, 8.9 mm thick when closed and weighs 215 g.

The Razr fold sports an 8.1-inch inner screen, bigger than the 8-inch panel on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and a 6.6-inch cover screen with a 165 Hz display refresh rate. In terms of resolution, the internal display sports a 2200 x 2480 pixels (~410 ppi density) and a 120 Hz refresh rate for this screen.
| Device | Screen size | Peak brightness |
|---|---|---|
| Moto Razr Fold main screen Moto Razr Fold cover screen | 8.1" 6.6" | 6,000 nits for cover display, 6,200 nits for folding screen, according to Motorola |
| Galaxy Z Fold 7 main screen Galaxy Z Fold 7 cover screen | 8.0" 6.5" | 2,600 nits |

Apparently, there's more to it: Motorola states the display comes with up to 6,000 nits peak brightness. Shockingly, Motorola claims a similarly outstanding brightness for the folding screen too: 6,200 nits. It's important to note that these peak brightness levels are almost unheard of in the mobile phone industry. We'll check those in real life when we get the phone for a review.
According to Motorola, both displays are Pantone-validated for color reproduction and come with Dolby Vision support.
Moto Razr Fold battery
The Moto Razr Fold comes with a huge 6,000 mAh battery cell. The battery supports 80 W TurboPower charging and 50 W wireless charging. The phone is also capable of sharing its battery with other devices thanks to 5 W reverse charging.

The Moto Razr Fold comes with Android 16 out of the box. There are some additional Moto-centric features, such as Shake to Flashlight, Peek Display, and fold-optimized multitasking, of course.
The foldable also brings some AI features like Catch Me Up and Next Move and supports the Moto Pen Ultra stylus. Motorola typically promises 3 OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates, which is not bad but still behind Samsung and Google and the seven-year software support pledge these two are offering.
Moto Razr Fold hardware and specs
