Moto Razr Fold camera

The Razr Fold arrives with Motorola's most ambitious camera system yet: three 50MP sensors covering every focal length, from macro-capable ultra-wide to 3x periscope telephoto.
The 20MP camera on the inner display is optimized for video calls, while the 32MP cover screen camera handles quick selfies without needing to unfold the phone. Video recording tops out at 8K at 30fps, or 4K at up to 120fps for smoother footage.

Having three 50 MP sensors means genuine versatility at every distance – macro shots through the ultra-wide, crisp 3x optical zoom through the periscope, and two selfie cameras that mean you always have a clean angle for video calls or quick snaps regardless of which display you're looking at.
Moto Razr Fold storage
The Razr Fold comes in a single 512GB configuration. No other storage tiers are offered.

The Razr Fold's design draws heavily from Motorola's Edge lineup – folded up, it reads as a close relative of the Edge 50 Ultra.

The Razr Fold uses a teardrop hinge design, which allows the inner display to curve more gently when closed rather than folding at a tighter angle. The result is a crease that is visible under certain lighting but less pronounced than what earlier-generation foldables produced.
Two colors are available: Blackened Blue and Lily White. The blue option reads almost black in most lighting, but features a diamond-pattern texture that makes it easier to grip. Lily White takes a different direction with a smooth, silk-like premium finish.
The camera bump on the back is substantial – a trade-off for fitting three 50MP lenses into a foldable chassis. Unfolded, the phone is 4.6mm thin. Folded, it measures 9.9mm and weighs 244 grams. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 comes in at 4.2mm unfolded, 8.9mm folded, and 215 grams – the Razr Fold is noticeably thicker and heavier.

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

Motorola advertises peak brightness of 6,200 nits on the inner display and 6,000 nits on the cover screen. In our own testing, we measured just over 2,000 nits on the inner display at 20% white level – actually a touch below both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
Those headline figures reflect a very specific display condition and shouldn't be taken as representative of everyday use.
Both displays are Pantone-validated for color accuracy and support Dolby Vision.
Moto Razr Fold battery
The Razr Fold packs a 6,000mAh battery – a notably large cell for a book-style foldable. Charging comes in at 80W TurboPower wired, 50W wireless, and 5W reverse wireless for topping up other devices.
The 6,000mAh cell uses silicon-carbon battery chemistry rather than the traditional lithium-ion found in competing foldables from Samsung and Google.
Silicon-carbon technology stores more energy in the same physical space, which is how Motorola fits this capacity into a chassis that's only 9.9mm thick when folded. The Razr Fold is among the first silicon-carbon foldables available from a major brand through US carriers.
Moto Razr Fold features and software

The Razr Fold ships with Android 16 and Motorola's lightweight 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 your notifications and Next Move suggests context-aware actions. The phone also supports the Moto Pen Ultra stylus for note-taking and annotation on the larger inner display.
Software support stands at three major OS updates and four years of security patches – a meaningful gap behind Samsung's and Google's seven-year commitments. If you're planning to hold onto the phone for several years, that's worth factoring into the decision.
Moto Razr Fold hardware and specs
The Razr Fold runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 paired with 16GB of RAM – the same flagship chip powering the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra.
