Motorola is preparing to take a step that has been on the table for some time: the leap to book-like folding format with the new Razr FoldAfter several generations focusing solely on clamshell models, the Lenovo-owned company is finalizing the launch of a device that will open like a book and is aimed directly at the high end of the Android market.
Different Internal leaks, Lenovo presentations, and official previews They paint a fairly clear picture: the Motorola Razr Fold will be the brand's first foldable phone in this format, it will be presented at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, and it will arrive to compete with heavyweights like the Galaxy z fold, the Honor Magic V or the foldable phones from Oppo and Xiaomi, with Europe as one of the key markets.
Motorola's first book-style foldable phone is now a reality
Internal Lenovo documents and promotional images shared by leakers like Evan Blass have finally cleared up any doubts: The device will be called the Motorola Razr Fold and will debut later this year.In those slides, it is expressly defined as the company's "first Fold-format device," marking a change of direction from the clamshell-type Razr.
Motorola has not yet published a complete technical specification sheet, but it has confirmed some key features in its own promotional material: “bright screens”, «Intelligent AI"and a groundbreaking camera system"In other words, the company wants to position this model in the premium segment, not as a niche experiment.
The company has already made it clear in its communications that will offer more information in the coming monthsThis places the full announcement of the Razr Fold in the second half of the year, although its first public appearance will take place during CES 2026 and the Lenovo Tech World event.
In any case, everything fits with Motorola's strategy for 2026: to strengthen its presence in the high-end market in Europe with new foldable formats and a new line of candybar-type mobile phones, the Motorola Signature.
Book-style design and a significant upgrade for the Razr range
For years, the Razr family has been associated with the clamshell-type foldables, compact and focused on the everyday user experienceWith the Razr Fold, Motorola changes course and ventures into the format that combines mobile and tablet in the same device, with a large internal screen for productivity and entertainment.
The leaked images show a device with metal frame, rounded corners and a back with two different finishesThese features are likely linked to the brand's ongoing collaboration with Pantone. The rear showcases a brushed metal camera island and a prominent camera array.
The foldable will feature two screens: one large internal flexible screen and one external screen To check notifications, reply to quick messages, or control music without opening the device. The cover screen has a centered hole for the front camera, while the main screen has a hole in the upper right corner.
On the side are the power and volume buttons, along with a additional textured button which appears to be a dedicated key for the artificial intelligence assistant, a solution similar to the one already seen in the Razr 60 Ultra.
Based on positioning, everything indicates that the Razr Fold will be positioned against models like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or the Honor Magic V5With prices in Europe that hover around or exceed €2.000, leaks suggest a likely price range of between €1.500 and €1.800 for the new Motorola, aiming to be competitive while still clearly remaining a high-end device.
Bright displays and a focus on the foldable experience
One of the messages repeated in internal presentations is that of the Razr Fold's "bright screens"Although no figures have been confirmed, it is reasonable to expect LTPO OLED panels with high refresh rates, designed to combine fluidity and energy efficiency.
The internal screen would be located, according to industry estimates, around the 7,5 or 8 inchesIt would have a form factor similar to a small tablet, ideal for working, playing games, or consuming multimedia content. The external screen, meanwhile, would be more compact, in line with the Razr clamshell design philosophy: allowing many basic tasks without needing to open the device.
It is assumed that Motorola will opt for a reinforced hinge and an optimized folding system To minimize the watermark in the center of the internal screen, one of the most sensitive areas for these types of devices. Some form of IP certification for water and dust resistance is also expected, something increasingly common in high-end foldable phones.
The brand itself has insisted that it wants to differentiate itself through the daily user experience in book formatnot only because of the initial "wow" effect of folding it. Hence the interface, the use of the dual screen, and multitasking they will be important pieces of the team.
Advanced AI and a camera system that aims to stand out
The other major pillar of the Razr Fold will be the integration of artificial intelligence functionsThe leaked materials speak of an "intelligent AI" aimed at improving everything from photography to productivity, in line with what other Android manufacturers are doing and with Qualcomm's own roadmap.
Although Motorola has not yet detailed exactly how this AI will be applied, it is expected to incorporate advanced image processing, automatic editing functions, and contextual tools to facilitate working on a large screen, such as floating windows, screen splitting, or assistants for taking notes and transcribing content.
In the photographic section, the images reveal a rear module with three camerasOne of these features is clearly associated with a periscope telephoto lens to offer advanced optical zoom. This type of lens is still uncommon in book-style foldable phones, so it would become one of the device's distinguishing features.
Leaks point to a groundbreaking camera system with high-resolution sensors and premium-level video capabilities. Furthermore, the combination of a large internal screen and a periscope telephoto lens could make the Razr Fold an interesting tool for travel photography or capturing content for social media.
On the front, both the exterior and interior screens would feature perforated camerasdesigned for video calls and selfies, although it will be the main rear camera that makes the difference thanks to its versatility and AI support.
Stylus compatibility: the Moto Pen Ultra comes into play
One of the most striking details in the latest leaked images is the presence of a Stylus used on the Razr Fold's internal screenEverything indicates that Motorola wants to take advantage of the large interior surface for writing, drawing and annotations, an area in which Samsung has been taking steps backward by no longer integrating a stylus into its Galaxy Z Fold 7.
According to information revealed by Evan Blass, Motorola's stylus will be called Moto Pen Ultra It will feature a replaceable tip, a side button, and a dedicated case that can be used for both storage and charging. It's still unclear whether it will be sold separately or included in a premium bundle with the device.
The images suggest that the Stylus support will focus on the internal displayThis suggests that the outer panel would not offer pressure sensitivity for direct writing. In return, the user would gain a large, notebook-like surface once the device is opened.
This move puts the Razr Fold in a unique position within the segment, offering a combination of book format, productivity features and a dedicated stylusThis may be especially attractive to professional or creative profiles in Europe looking for an "all-in-one" device.
High-end power and a strategy focused on Europe
Pending official confirmation, everything points to Motorola equipping the Razr Fold with a latest generation Snapdragon 8 family processorThis is in line with what it's using in its more advanced models. Configurations of up to 16 GB of RAM and storage options ranging from 512 GB to 1 TB are being considered, following the trend in the premium segment.
The brand's recent experience with models like the Razr Ultra and the new Motorola Signature line This suggests that the Razr Fold won't fall short in either performance or battery life. A generous battery is expected, among the highest capacities in the foldable market, along with fast charging comparable to its flagship tablet counterparts.
In Europe, where Motorola has registered a notable market share growth In recent years, the Razr Fold has served as a technological showcase designed to reinforce the brand's image. It's not expected to be the top-selling model in terms of volume, but it will set the bar for the range and serve as a benchmark for the rest of the catalog.
Regarding the schedule, various sources point to a Featured presentation during Lenovo Tech World at CES 2026This comes after previous mentions and teasers on Motorola's own social media channels. The rollout could be phased in regionally, with Europe among the priority markets, although specific launch details and pricing have not yet been confirmed.
With everything that has been revealed, the Motorola Razr Fold is shaping up to be a key move for the brand in the book-style folding marketCareful design, very bright screens, a strong commitment to artificial intelligence, an ambitious camera system and the possibility of using a dedicated stylus position this model as a serious alternative to the major players in the segment, especially in a European context where foldable phones continue to gain ground and a diversity of options.
