Motorola Razr Fold in for review
Hands-On with the Motorola Razr Fold: More Than Just Specs
Motorola is officially entering the book-style foldable arena, and while the spec sheet might not set the world on fire in every single category, the Razr Fold has a certain “it factor” that’s hard to ignore. It isn’t the thinnest, the lightest, or the most powerful device on the market, yet it feels surprisingly more refined than much of the competition. We’ve just got it in the office, and here is our first look.
Straight out of the box, you’re looking at a 16GB/512GB powerhouse available in two elegant finishes: Pantone Blackened Blue and Lily White. With a premium price tag hovering around $1,900/€2,000, Motorola is positioning this as a flagship luxury experience.
Inside the box, you’ll find the essentials: the handset itself, a two-piece protective case, and a USB-C cable. Depending on your region, you might also score the Moto Pen Ultra, which is a fantastic addition for power users. Just keep in mind that the pen requires its own dedicated charging case—so try not to misplace it!
The Stylus Experience
The Moto Pen Ultra feels remarkably similar to Samsung’s S Pen, offering a responsive experience across both internal and external displays. It features a convenient side button for quick menu access, making it a handy tool for those looking to boost their productivity or creative workflow on the go.
Design and Display
To truly understand the Razr Fold, you have to hold it. Motorola has nailed the ergonomics. The rear panel carries that classic, sophisticated Moto design language, complete with a beautifully integrated camera island. The curved glass on the cover screen isn’t just for show—it makes edge-swiping feel incredibly fluid.
Speaking of screens, the dimensions are generous. You get a 6.6-inch cover display and a sprawling 8.1-inch internal panel. Both are stunning AMOLEDs, with the inner screen rocking a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, while the cover display pushes things even further to 165Hz. With peak brightness hitting an eye-watering 6,000 nits, outdoor visibility is the least of your worries.
A Versatile Camera System
Photography is clearly a priority here. The triple-camera array on the back is comprised of 50MP sensors across the board. You get a large 1/1.28-inch main sensor for excellent low-light performance, a 71mm telephoto lens for those tight portraits, and an ultrawide with autofocus. It’s a well-rounded setup that promises great results for daily shooting.
The Verdict So Far
While the Razr Fold checks in at 243 grams and 10.1mm thick, it somehow carries its weight well. It feels substantial and balanced, making it arguably more comfortable to use than lighter competitors like the Honor Magic V6. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about how the phone handles in real-world scenarios. We’re deep into our testing phase now, and so far, the Razr Fold is making a very compelling case for itself.
