Before the days of folding OLED displays (and smartphones in general), the Motorola Razr was the most iconic folding phone in the world — virtually synonymous with the flip phone. But, the limelight fades fast, and the Razr name vanished for a long while, roaring back recently when phones started folding again.
The Razr returned in the form of a clamshell-style foldable, and at CES 2026 this week, Motorola is introducing their first book-style foldable, the Razr Fold.
There’s reason for excitement — while clamshell foldables are easy to pocket, they don’t maximize the potential of foldables. Book-style foldables hide away a much larger screen, giving you a full smartphone and a small tablet all in one device. Motorola is just giving us an early look at the Razr Fold at CES this week, but it sounds like it’ll be available sometime later this year, along with new accessories in their Moto Things lineup and a special FIFA World Cup edition of their other foldable, the Razr.
Motorola Razr Fold
The Motorola Razr Fold will be a standard 6.6-inch smartphone when folded, but will open up book-style to an 8.1-inch device with a 2K LTPO OLED display. Motorola hasn’t released the full spec sheet yet, but it’s looking promising that the phone will be near flagship level — when folded, the Razr Fold has an impressive camera array including three 50MP cameras: a main camera, an ultrawide camera with pixel binning bringing the finished photos to 12.5MP, and a 3x zoom periscope telephoto camera.
The selfie camera when the phone is folded has a 32MP sensor, and when unfolded, there’s a small camera set into the 8.1-inch display with a 20MP sensor. The phone will have Dolby Vision for processing video, which should be a nice complement to the main camera in particular. The device looks to be quite thin — good for pockets, but we’ll have to see what that means for battery capacity.
If you can protect the Razr Fold from physical damage, it looks like Motorola is committed to keeping the phone useful for a long time. They’re guaranteeing seven years of OS updates and security guarantees, which matches the gold standard Samsung has set.
Speaking of software, Motorola has indicated the Razr Fold will have special multi-tasking features to take advantage of the larger internal screen, with dual-app layouts that can be changed to fit which apps are in use. The phone will also work with the Qira AI platform that Lenovo introduced this week at CES (Lenovo is the parent company of Motorola). Qira is a cross-device AI platform for Lenovo and Motorola devices, ensuring that you have one unified history of prompts accessible on all devices.
Motorola Razr FIFA World Cup Edition
The Collections series of the clamshell foldable Motorola Razr has gone swanky with Swarovski, and now it’s going sporty with FIFA. To commemorate this year’s upcoming World Cup, Motorola will release a FIFA World Cup edition of the Razr sometime in February, when it’ll be exclusively sold through Motorola directly and from Verizon for one month before getting a wider release. With purchase, users will have access to exclusive World Cup wallpapers, ringtones, and FIFA watermarks that can be added to photos.
Moto Things
When the Razr Fold finally does arrive, it’ll have lots of friends. Throughout the year, Motorola will be dropping new accessories in the Moto Things lineup, including a smartwatch, a new stylus, and an updated tracking tag. All of them will be able to work with the Razr Fold when it gets released later this year.
Moto Watch
The Moto Watch will likely be the first to arrive, with Motorola confirming that it will ship January 22. The watch has been made in partnership with Polar, a company known in the fitness tracker space particularly for accurate heart rate tracking. Polar will provide the fitness tracking elements in the watch, including monitoring heart rate and blood oxygen levels.
Despite having a sleek look, the Moto Watch has a sturdy build ready for lots of outdoor use. The frame is made of aluminum and stainless steel, and is rated IP68, making it dust- and water-proof. Because it’s angling to be a little more sporty, the Moto Watch comes with a silicone band by default, but Motorola says the watch will be compatible with third-party 22mm watch bands if you want to go for more of a fashionable or indoors look.
The watch face is on the large side at 47mm, but all that screen space doesn’t hurt battery life too much. Motorola has indicated that you can expect 13 days of battery life on one charge, or 7 days if the watch’s always-on display is continuously used. Even if the battery is low, five minutes of charging should give the watch an entire day’s worth of battery power.
Moto Pen Ultra
The Moto Pen Ultra is made for folks who like to use foldables as pocket sketchbooks. The stylus has a fine tip for drawing finer lines, with tilt detection that helps artists use broader brushstrokes or do some shading. When the Moto Pen Ultra is in use, the Razr Fold will ignore palm touches, heading off a common nuisance for digital artists.
There will also be a Quick Access Toolbar with a few handy stylus shortcuts. Notes and sketches can be quickly shared with favorite contacts, and text or images found online can be quickly added to existing notes. Unsurprisingly, AI gets in on the action — a quick action with the stylus can tell AI to turn a sketch into a finished product in any number of styles. The Moto Pen Ultra also works with Google’s Circle to Search feature, allowing you to perform a search just by circling text or images on screen.
Moto Tag 2
The Moto Tag 2 is the latest iteration of Motorola’s tracking tag, which can be attached to frequently lost items like keys or wallets. The tags will last a good while, with a battery life of 500 days and an IP68 rating that allows them to function even if the item they are attached to has fallen into water somewhere. That’s a slight upgrade over the original Moto Tag, which was rated IP67.
UWB and Bluetooth Channel Sounding technology are in use to help you find your items when they are lost. The tags can also be added to the Google Find Hub network, which allows connected devices to ping off each other to help narrow down the location of your device. UWB technology will help make distance and direction information more accurate once you get closer to your lost item, and was a much missed feature on the original Moto Tag.
If you have the reverse problem and have lost your phone, the tags are still handy. Pressing on one of the tags will ping your phone, which will sound out even if it’s on silent. That tag button can also be used as a remote camera shutter.
No word on when these will be available yet, but Motorola says they’ll have more updates in the months to come.
