Motorola’s Upcoming Razr Fold Pairs a Massive Battery With a Sleek Design


Motorola is slowly teasing more details about its upcoming Razr Fold, including its battery capacity, thickness and durability. I got an early look at the phone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, before it debuts in North America this summer.

In January, the company shared a handful of Razr Fold specs, including that it’ll have a 6.6-inch external display and an 8.1-inch internal screen — making it slightly bigger than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold

We now also know the Razr Fold will be 4.6mm thick when open and 9.9mm thick when closed, weighing 243 grams. That places it firmly between Samsung’s and Google’s foldable offerings. 

In my hand, the Razr Fold felt similar to the Z Fold 7 in terms of its sleekness. The cover display is a comfortably and viable option for tasks like texting and scrolling. When you open the Razr, you can multitask with up to three apps. The incremental size-up compared with Samsung’s and Google’s foldables is hardly noticeable, but it should place it safely within their orbit.

The Razr Fold will also pack a triple 50-megapixel camera system, along with a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the cover and a 20-megapixel selfie inside.

Despite its sleeker frame, the Razr Fold will have an impressively large 6,000-mAh battery. It’ll also support 80-watt wired charging and 50-watt wireless charging. That should help it stand out, especially from the 4,400-mAh battery on the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor to boost performance and efficiency and to power AI features

Motorola also shared more details about the Razr Fold’s durability. It’ll have an IP48 and IP49 rating, meaning it can withstand a meter of water for 30 minutes and handle high water pressure. But, unlike the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, it’s not dust-resistant. The Razr Fold will be the first smartphone to feature Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 on the cover.  

Like most premium Android phones, the Razr Fold will come with seven years of software and security updates. There are two color options: Pantone blackened blue, which has a more textured back, and Pantone lily white, which is smoother and matte. Both backs are made of vegan leather and offer a more luxurious feel than the glass on most premium phones (not to mention the relative lack of fingerprints). 

The two biggest questions still loom: price and availability. Motorola says it’ll share information on that as the summer release window approaches.
