Motorola’s razr has generated quite a bit of attention and gained loyal fans in the niche flip segment. Now, Motorola is expanding the iconic razr family with a bold new chapter in foldable design, introducing the Motorola razr fold as its first book-style foldable. A lot is still under the cover, but here is what we learned from the preview at CES 2026, and even in this early look, the device already feels like a significant step for the razr line.
From the outside, the Motorola razr fold presents a slim, striking silhouette anchored by a 6.6-inch external display. This outer screen gives you a familiar candy-bar style experience for everyday tasks and quick interactions, so it behaves much like a standard flagship when closed. It helps the phone feel practical and complete on its own, rather than a secondary screen you only tolerate between unfolds.
Designer: Motorola
Open the device, and it transforms into an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO inner display. This larger panel stretches into a tablet-like space that invites multitasking, media, and creativity in a way a normal phone simply cannot match. Both the outer and inner displays support the moto pen ultra stylus, adding precision for note-taking, sketching, and editing when you want a more deliberate, pen-driven experience.
In hand, the hinge feels sturdy yet pleasantly smooth to open and close. It gives a reassuring sense of durability without feeling overly stiff or crunchy during use. The design is not completely gapless when folded, but it comes close enough that the profile still looks clean and modern.
The crease on the inner display is also handled well and is not very noticeable. It tends to fade from view once the content is on screen. This helps the large display feel more like a single continuous canvas rather than a technical compromise.
For the camera, the Motorola razr fold is built around a versatile triple 50MP system on its rear. The main 50MP camera features a Sony LYTIA sensor, although the exact model is not revealed, suggesting Motorola is still keeping some details in reserve. Alongside it, a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto camera round out the array for sweeping scenes, tight interiors, and distant subjects.
For selfies, the Motorola Razr fold features a 32MP camera in the external display and a 20MP camera on the internal display. The outer selfie camera works with the large cover screen, making it easy to frame high-quality shots while the phone is closed and still feel fully in control. The inner camera is positioned for video calls and content capture when you are using the big internal display, keeping the experience consistent in both folded and unfolded modes.
Motorola offers two colors, PANTONE Blackend Blue and PANTONE Lily White. These finishes give the phone distinct personalities, from deeper and moodier to lighter and more minimal, so the hardware can better match different style preferences. It also has a textured matte back, which is pleasant to touch and helps the device feel secure in the hand, adding a subtle sense of grip and refinement. Although the exact launch timing of the Motorola razr fold remains unknown, it has already been gaining a lot of attention and looks poised to push the razr name firmly into the book-style foldable space.
