Motorola Razr Fold Review
Motorola packs it all in for this foldable, providing great screens, cameras, performance and features, even if it does end up a bit expensive.
The Motorola Razr Fold redefines the Razr family with its innovative "hotdog fold" design, reminiscent of Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold lineup. Despite not perfecting the design over generations, the Razr Fold impresses with its thinness and solid build quality. Priced at $1,899, it may offer great value despite its high cost.
Physically, the Razr Fold opens like a book, resembling a typical smartphone when closed. Its rubberized back and textured finish make it feel premium, while the camera bump adds depth without appearing bulky. Weighing 8.6 ounces, it's heavier than some flagship phones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max but not excessively so.
The Razr Fold's display is a standout feature. Its 21:9 exterior display is a 6.6-inch LTPO pOLED panel delivering sharp visuals at 165Hz refresh rate. Unfolding reveals an even larger 8.1-inch internal display with 120Hz refresh rate, optimized for various content formats. Both screens boast vibrant colors and excellent brightness, though they may show fingerprints and glare. The exterior screen uses Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, offering better durability than the internal Ultra Thin Glass.
In terms of software, the Razr Fold runs Android 16, promising seven years of updates for OS and security. Motorola has avoided bloatware and AI distractions, delivering a clean, customizable interface. The device supports a pressure-sensitive stylus, though its use is limited to external displays. Performance is commendable, with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset handling demanding tasks smoothly.
Overall, the Razr Fold combines premium design, innovative features, and solid performance, making it a compelling option for those seeking a cutting-edge smartphone experience.
