At MWC 2026, Motorola launched a ton of particulars concerning the upcoming Motorola Razr Fold, the corporate’s first book-style foldable. Particulars included the fee within the European market at €1,999, which is a part of a bundle of the Moto Razr Fold and the Moto Pen Extremely.
Notably, the Razr Fold helps stylus enter on each the inside and outer screens, a bonus of competing fashions by Samsung and Google. Motorola additionally launched many of the gadget’s specs, as I will go over beneath.

The skin display can be a 6.6-inch pOLED display with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3. The inside display can be a large 8.1 inches, making it the most important in North America. It is going to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and include 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The cameras would be the identical ones seen within the Motorola Signature — 50-megapixel sensors throughout the ultrawide, fundamental, and 3x optical zoom. Aside from the processor, these are distinctive specs throughout the board. Precise efficiency and digicam high quality must wait till we get a full evaluation of the gadget.
Motorola additionally launched a FIFA version of the Motorola Razr Fold, which enhances the FIFA version flip from CES. It is an enormous partnership with the most well-liked sport on this planet in a yr the place the world will play for a title. All of that’s extraordinarily properly performed.
The $2,000 elephant within the room
The €1,999 worth (which converts to roughly $2,320, not contemplating region-based changes) raised eyebrows, although, and that is to be anticipated. It’s an eye-wateringly excessive worth, particularly for Motorola’s first day out of the book-style foldable gate. However total, I can stay with the worth for a number of causes.
To start with, as talked about, the €1,999 worth is a bundle that features a €100 accent, so it is actually €1,899. The Pen Extremely is a nifty little gadget that, sadly, doesn’t silo within the telephone itself, but it surely comes with its personal carrying case. It is an energetic stylus with some cool options by itself, similar to stress sensitivity, a quick-action button, and a sensible menu of choices on demand.

Second, whereas the processor leaves one thing to be desired (and actually not that a lot), there are in any other case quite a lot of firsts within the telephone, together with the primary triple 50-megapixel digicam set on a North American foldable, the most important and brightest display, and the most important battery. That may be a 6,000mAh silicon carbon battery in there, and it is able to as much as 80W of quick charging, which matches OnePlus’s 2023 (and solely) foldable, the OnePlus Open.

The telephone is a tad thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and has a battery that’s over 40% bigger and prices sooner. This telephone is not any slouch. I took the Honor Magic V5 to IFA 2025 and CES 2026 as a result of I needed a book-style foldable with lengthy battery life, and the Fold 7 did not match that invoice. The Motorola Razr Fold completely will.
Third, this telephone will doubtless have a really balanced, all-around nice digicam expertise. Sure, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a 200-megapixel fundamental sensor, however after that, issues fall off fairly shortly. In the meantime, the three 50-megapixel cameras ought to give a extra constant all-around expertise.
Endurance is essential
Lastly, there’s one incontrovertible fact to think about. This can be a Motorola telephone, and the corporate’s M.O. has lengthy been to launch a telephone at a excessive worth and put it on a everlasting sale a couple of weeks later. On the time of publication, the Moto Razr Extremely, which has an MSRP of $1,499, might be had for simply $799. So for those who do not wish to pay €1,999, wait a few weeks.
In fact, all of that is moot since we have not obtained US pricing or availability dates. So, for the second, there is not any purpose to lose any sleep over this price ticket. If you wish to lose sleep, achieve this since you’re excited that an amazing foldable telephone is coming to the US.
