Motorola Razr Fold Review
Motorola has released the Razr Fold, a new book-style foldable phone that abandons the flip-phone format of earlier Razr models in favour of a "hotdog fold" design similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold range. Reviewed by IGN, the £1,899 ($1,899) device is notably thin and well-built, suggesting Motorola has drawn heavily on its foldable experience to produce a strong rival to Samsung in this segment.
Unfolded, the Razr Fold measures just 0.19 inches thick, thinner than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge or iPhone Air, though it weighs a relatively hefty 8.6 ounces. It features a 6.6-inch, 1080×2520 external display running at up to 165Hz and an 8.1-inch, 2232×2484 internal display at 120Hz, both sharp LTPO pOLED panels, though the internal fold seam shows glare at certain angles. The phone carries an IP49 rating for dust and water resistance, and uses tougher Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the exterior screen versus Ultra Thin Glass inside. A notable drawback is the SIM tray, which has physical space for two SIMs or a SIM and microSD card but is restricted to holding just one SIM.
In short
- Motorola's Razr Fold adopts a book-style fold, rivalling Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold.
- Priced at $1,899, it's ultra-thin at 0.19 inches when unfolded.
- Has IP49 water/dust resistance but only supports a single SIM card.
Explained simply
Razr is Motorola’s long-running phone brand, best known for compact handsets that fold shut across the middle. A book-style foldable works differently: it opens sideways to reveal a larger screen, while a second display remains available when the phone is closed.
Motorola is entering a market where Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold phones are established rivals. The Razr Fold’s design, screens and resistance to dust and water help explain how the company is positioning it, while its price and practical features matter to people weighing up a foldable against a conventional phone.
