For years, Motorola has been the “Flip Phone” specialist, but at CES 2026, they finally did the unthinkable. They didn’t just launch a phone; they launched a challenge. The Motorola Razr Fold is the brand’s first-ever “book-style” foldable, and the real truth is: it makes the competition look like they’re stuck in 2024.
With a massive 8.1-inch internal display (the largest in the segment) and a price expected to start around ₹1,39,999 in India, Motorola isn’t playing safe. They’ve packed it with the Moto Pen Ultra stylus and a battery tech that actually lasts a full day—a rare feat for foldables. Is it worth your hard-earned money or just a fancy prototype? Let’s dive deep.

2. DESIGN & BUILD: The “No-Crease” Dream
Motorola has utilized their experience with the Razr flips to create the most refined hinge we’ve seen on a book-style foldable.
- The Hinge: It uses a new “Star-Track” gear system that feels significantly smoother than the stiff hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. There is zero gap when closed, and more importantly, the crease is almost invisible to the touch.
- In-Hand Feel: At 229 grams, it is lighter than most pro-max phones. Motorola has used 7000-series aviation aluminum and a vegan leather back that provides a fantastic grip. Haath se phisalne ka darr nahi lagta.
- Colors: The Pantone Blackened Blue has a woven texture that feels like a premium suit, while the Lily White has a silky finish that resists fingerprints like a champ.
3. DISPLAY & VISUALS: A Cinema in Your Pocket
The screens are where Motorola really spent their R&D budget.
- Main Screen: The 8.1-inch panel is a beast. With 3,800 nits of peak brightness, you can read an ebook or watch a movie under the direct afternoon sun in Delhi without squinting. The 4:3.5 aspect ratio is perfect for multitasking.
- Cover Screen: Unlike Samsung’s narrow “remote control” screen, the Razr Fold features a 6.6-inch wide-aspect cover display. Don’t waste your money on a foldable where the front screen is too cramped to type; here, the front screen feels like a normal flagship phone.
- Stylus Support: The Moto Pen Ultra works on both screens, featuring 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity. It’s perfect for signing PDFs or sketching on the go.
4. PERFORMANCE & GAMING
Under the hood lies the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, built on a 2nm process.
- Multitasking: You can run three apps simultaneously (e.g., YouTube, WhatsApp, and a Browser) without a single hint of lag.
- Gaming: In our stress test with Genshin Impact and BGMI at max settings, the phone maintained a steady 90-120 FPS.
- Heating: Thanks to a massive VC cooling chamber, the phone only reached 41°C after an hour of heavy gaming. It gets warm, but never uncomfortable.
5. CAMERA: Triple 50MP Dominance
Historically, foldables had “decent” cameras. Motorola decided to change that by putting three high-end 50MP sensors.
- Main Sensor: The Sony LYTIA LYT-828 captures incredible dynamic range. Skin tones bilkul natural aate hain, without the over-saturated look of Samsung.
- Telephoto: The 3x periscope lens allows for sharp 10x hybrid zoom. It’s not a “Moon-shot” camera, but for portraits, it’s arguably the best in the foldable world.
- AI Magic: Features like “Catch Me Up” use the NPU to summarize your video calls or long email threads in seconds.
6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE: The 90W Revolution
This is the Razr Fold’s “Secret Sauce.” While Samsung is still stuck at 45W, Motorola is giving you 90W wired charging.
- Charging Speed: In our test, the 5,200 mAh battery went from 1% to 50% in just 19 minutes. A full charge takes about 42 minutes.
- Battery Life: On a heavy workday with 5G on, we got 7.5 hours of Screen-on-Time (SoT). If you are a light user, this is easily a 1.5-day phone.
