Motorola has revealed a little more about its upcoming foldable phone, and all signs point towards a premium option – not the more budget-friendly alternative the category could use.
For starters, the Razr Fold costs €1,999 (about $2,350) bundled with the Moto Pen Ultra. It will first go on sale in Europe, with North America to follow “in the coming months.” Motorola hasn’t confirmed how much it will cost without the stylus, or what the price is in US dollars.
The Razr Fold comes with a massive 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, making it the first foldable tablet sold in North America to use the technology. It’s not quite the biggest battery out there each foldable, but only because Honor announced the Magic V6 with a 6,600 mAh battery yesterday.
Ready for a fire hose full of specifications? The Fold comes with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, IP48 and IP49 ratings for dust and water protection, a 50-megapixel 1/1.28-inch Sony LYTIA main camera sensor, 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
Motorola really puts the emphasis on camera performance: the 50-megapixel 3x optical zoom includes optical image stabilization, and the 50-megapixel ultrawide has a 122-degree field of view and doubles as a macro camera. The Razr Fold comes with “up to” seven years of OS upgrades and security updates, which has also become something of a standard on flagship phones in recent years.
Overall, the Razr Fold seems to have taken a few cues from foldables outside the US market, which could push Samsung and Google to innovate their foldables a bit more; a welcome development indeed.
