When we first saw the Motorola Razr Fold at CES 2026 in January, we knew it would be a solid foldable with a better than average camera array. Well, Motorola has shared all the details about their new foldable at MWC 2026 in Barcelona this week, and it turns out that camera array is more than good — it’s the best you’ll find on any foldable device right now according to DXOMARK, which gave the phone a score of 164. Not content to merely trade off the Razr name, Motorola is going all out with the Razr Fold, giving their first book-style foldable premium specs across the board.
Best photography in foldables
We already knew that the Motorola Razr Fold would have three 50MP cameras (main, ultrawide, and zoom) — now we have more details. The main 50MP camera features the Sony Lytia 828 sensor, one of Sony’s current crop of high-end mobile imaging sensors. One of the defining features of that Lytia sensor is built-in AI processing, allowing the sensor to touch up details and colors as the picture is being taken. The main camera also features Dolby Vision processing for video, helping with clarity and color reproduction. Autofocus and optical image stabilization combine to keep shots looking clear even when taking quick point-and-shoot pictures.
The zoom camera features a periscope telephoto lens with the Sony Lytia 600 sensor. This camera will be capable of up to 3x optical zoom, but using Motorola’s own AI processing, up to 100x digital zoom will be possible. AI processing has certainly improved pictures taken with digital zoom, but that was a low bar to clear — we’ll have to get hands-on experience to see how good 100x digital zoom can actually look. Fortunately, shaky hands won’t be a problem if we do try to take a 100x zoom pictures, as this camera also has optical image stabilization.
The ultrawide camera has a 122-degree field of view. Motorola didn’t provide many more details, but ultrawide cameras usually have lower-end hardware behind them relative to main and zoom smartphone cameras. One nice add is autofocus, which we don’t always see on ultrawide cameras, even on some high-end smartphones.
But, the Motorola Razr Fold isn’t one of those gimmick devices that has a really good camera array and not much else — Motorola went all out on everything. At the core of the phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and 16GB of RAM. They didn’t use the more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 is no slouch either, and might be a better match in terms of efficiency for power-hungry foldables.
Speaking of power-hungry, the Razr Fold has a 6,000mAh battery, and can take up to 80W charging — if you have an 80W charging adapter to match, the phone should be able to recharge to full in just an hour or two. 50W wireless charging is also an eye-opener, and really underscores how far wireless charging has come in the last couple years.
Both folded and unfolded displays are OLED on the Razr Fold. The external display, which you’ll use when the Razr Fold is folded, is a 2520 x 1080 6.6-inch pOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate. A peak local brightness of 6,000 nits means that HDR10+ content can really shine. The external display can often be an afterthought on book-style foldables, but that’s not the case here.
The larger folded display is the star of the show, though — when unfolded, the device reveals a 2484 x 2232 8.1-inch LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 6,200 nits. LTPO means the refresh rate can be variable to make power use more efficient, helping to preserve battery life.
Built to last
Durability questions still abound around the foldable category, but Motorola has made a solid effort to make sure the Razr Fold can be around long enough to make good on their guarantees of seven years of software and upgrade support. The foldable display uses ultra-thin glass and an anti-shock film to minimize permanent creasing on the fold, while a thin titanium sheet in the back helps to disperse pressure evenly when opening and closing the device.
While the phone isn’t fully waterproof and dust-proof (tough to do when there’s a hinge involved), the external display should hold up very well against drops and scratches, thanks to a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, the first time we’ve seen that in use in a smartphone.
Pricing and availability
This is the one detail Motorola didn’t yet want to divulge — U.S. release date and price are still unknown, but should be confirmed soon. It’s going to be €1,999 in the EU, though, so expect the U.S. price to be north of $2,000. The Razr Fold will be available in Lily White and Blackened Blue color options.
