Motorola is launching its refreshed Razr lineup ahead of schedule, featuring a new collection of flexible devices that includes the company's initial large-format foldable, as competitors like Samsung and Google plan their releases for later in the summer and autumn.
The Razr Fold made its initial reveal at CES and received further exposure at MWC recently, so its debut comes as no shock. For American consumers seeking expansive foldables—where choices remain limited compared to regions in Europe and Asia—this gadget offers compelling attributes absent from primary competitors. A standout element is its integrated stylus compatibility, a feature Samsung phased out from its top foldables last year with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 after years of inclusion. Note that the Moto Pen Ultra requires a separate $100 purchase for handwriting or drawing capabilities.
Beyond the stylus, the Razr Fold boasts the largest and most luminous displays among current large-fold models. The outer 6.6-inch panel reaches a maximum of 6,000 nits, and the inner 8.1-inch bendable screen surpasses the 8-inch displays on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and Z Fold 7 in size while delivering superior brightness up to 6,200 nits. It also includes the biggest capacity battery among these devices at 6,000mAh using silicon-carbon technology, paired with the quickest charging options: 80 watts via cable or 50 watts over the air. Similar to the stylus, compatible chargers must be bought separately due to Motorola's unique fast-charging standard.
On the power front, the Razr Fold packs significant capability with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB storage, and Motorola asserts its 50MP primary camera leads its category. At 4.6mm when folded, it falls short of the Z Fold 7's slimmer 4.2mm profile. Listed at $1,900, the device undercuts equivalent configurations of its key opponents, as a 512GB Pixel 10 Pro Fold retails for $1,919 and a 512GB Z Fold 7 for $2,200.
Motorola continues to offer three variants in its compact-folding Razr range. The top-tier Razr Ultra, priced at $1,500, includes a 4-inch outer screen and a 7-inch inner flexible display hitting 5,000 nits. The company highlights it as the inaugural compact foldable with Corning's Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 and the segment's biggest battery at 5,000mAh. It delivers strong speed and recharging with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 68-watt cable-based charging.
The mid-range Razr+, beginning at $1,100, has a marginally reduced 6.9-inch primary screen. All compact models in the series support 15-watt wireless charging and Moto AI, a suite of AI-driven tools encompassing Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Perplexity. Yet, it experiences minor reductions in power, capacity, and charging, relying on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip, a 4,500mAh battery, and 45-watt wired speeds.
The entry-level Razr, starting from $800, features an even more compact 3.6-inch external display alongside the same 6.9-inch inner one, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7450X instead of a Qualcomm option. Its wired charging drops to 30 watts, but the battery edges up to 4,800mAh over the mid-tier model's.
Despite the entry model's more modest specifications, it's challenging to criticize a compact foldable priced below $1,000 in today's market. With the addition of a large-fold option, Motorola's Razr assortment now caters to a broad array of preferences.
Pre-orders for the updated Razr lineup open on May 14 through Motorola's site and stores such as Best Buy, with general availability following on May 21.
