Motorola Razr Fold Geekbench listing confirms Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, price revealed at MWC
Motorola has finally given us a clear picture of its first book‑style foldable. The Motorola Razr Fold, which first appeared at CES 2026 without any specs, has now shown up on Geekbench and been detailed more fully at MWC. Based on what has been revealed via the listing and by the company, this phone is a premium foldable that doesn’t pack a top-end chip, but still has plenty of hardware muscle.
At the core is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, not the top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 variant. The 8 Gen 5 is still a current‑generation flagship chip, but tuned slightly below the most extreme performance tier. The difference is unlikely to matter to most users unless they’re chasing top benchmark numbers. Foldables are already expensive to build, so this looks like a practical decision rather than a performance compromise.

Geekbench scores of around 2,681 in single‑core and 9,056 in multi‑core show it sits comfortably in high‑end territory, and Motorola pairs that with 16GB RAM, 512GB of storage, and Android 16 running on top of the company’s Hello UX. Motorola is also promising up to seven years of OS updates, though it isn’t guaranteeing how quickly those will land.
Motorola has also shared more complete specifications at MWC 2026. The inside screen is an 8.1‑inch LTPO OLED with 2K‑like resolution (2484 x 2232) and a 120Hz refresh rate, while the outer cover screen is 6.6 inches with 2520 x 1080 and up to 165Hz. Both displays support the Motorola Pen Ultra, and Motorola is giving software features like multitasking modes, a “laptop mode” where the lower half turns into a trackpad, and a tent‑style “desk display” for videos and notifications.
Battery life is where the Razr Fold stands out. It packs a 6,000mAh cell with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, which is noticeably larger than what you see on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 or the Pixel Fold line, both of which usually sit around 4,400mAh – 4,800mAh with slower charging. On paper, that should mean closer to a full day of heavier use with some headroom, especially if Motorola’s software is efficient enough.
Cameras are another area where Motorola is being competitive. The back camera setup includes a 50MP Sony LYTIA primary sensor, a 50MP ultrawide with macro support, and a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto, also using a LYTIA sensor. Out front, there’s a 32MP selfie camera on the outer screen and a 20MP camera on the inner, which is more generous than many foldables that often cut corners on telephoto or ultrawide quality. How well these cameras hold up in real‑world conditions will depend on Motorola’s tuning, something Samsung and Google still lead in.
The device is rated IP48/IP49 for dust and water resistance — an improvement over early foldables but still a step below the IP68 that Honor just offered with its Magic V6 foldable. The Razr Fold comes in Pantone‑inspired Blackened Blue and Lily White shades, and uses a side‑mounted fingerprint sensor rather than an under‑screen one. In Europe, Motorola has confirmed the Razr Fold at EUR 1,999 (around Rs 2.14 lakh), with the Motorola Pen Ultra bundled in the box. For India and other regions, there’s still no official word.
For buyers, the Motorola Razr Fold is shaping up as a foldable that undercuts some rivals by skipping the top‑end 8 Elite chip, but still delivers a larger battery, faster charging, and a more ambitious camera setup. If you prioritise ultra‑compact size and deep integration with Samsung’s or Google’s ecosystems, the Galaxy Z Fold and Pixel Fold families will remain strong choices. But if battery life, stylus‑ready screens on both sides, and a more laptop‑like multitasking feel matter more, the Motorola Razr Fold is starting to look like a serious alternative, as long as Motorola can back it up with smooth software and sensible pricing in regional markets.
