Specs at a glance

Motorola Razr Fold specifications, features

While this is Motorola’s first book-style foldable phone, the brand says they “built it to get it right the first time.” The brand has been in the clamshell space since 2019 and has launched multiple Razr Flip phones since, giving it enough knowledge of screen and hinge technology, as well as supply chain maturity, to get the Razr Fold right. You can read more about this in my interaction with Shivam Ranjan, Head of Marketing at Motorola India, here.

Coming back to the specifications, Motorola claims the Razr Fold has the best cameras on a foldable phone, with a DxOMark score of 164, the highest score yet for a foldable phone. The camera system is a triple 50MP setup, including a Sony LYTIA 828 primary sensor with OIS, a 50MP ultrawide at f/2.0, and a 50MP periscope telephoto using a Sony LYTIA 600 sensor with OIS. For selfies, there is a 20MP camera when the phone is closed and a 32MP camera when open. Video goes up to 8K at 30fps and 4K at 60fps, with Dolby Vision recording supported.

As a Rs 1.5 lakh foldable phone, the rest of the hardware needs to be top-tier as well. The foldable is powered by the 3nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.1 storage. While a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip would have been ideal, the 8 Gen 5 is still very much a flagship-grade processor that should be able to handle almost any task on the foldable without breaking a sweat.

The battery is a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon cell, the largest yet in a foldable phone. The only other foldable that gets a similar battery is the Vivo X Fold5 (review). Motorola claims over 43 hours of use on a single charge. Charging is rated at 80W wired (0 to 100% in approximately 60 minutes, with 0 to 30% taking around 10 minutes), 50W wireless, and 5W reverse charging. A 90W TurboPower charger is included in the box.

Audio is handled by stereo speakers tuned by Bose with Dolby Atmos support. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, UWB, NFC, eSIM, and a physical SIM slot, as well as USB Type-C with USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds and DisplayPort 1.2 output. The razr FOLD carries IP48 and IP49 water protection ratings.

The Razr Fold ships with Android 16 out of the box, with seven years of OS upgrades and seven years of security updates promised, matching the best software commitment available on any Android phone in the market. AI features include Moto AI tools (Catch Me Up, Pay Attention, Remember This, Recall, Image Studio, Playlist Studio, Next Move) alongside Google Gemini integration via a dedicated AI Key.

The Razr Fold is available in PANTONE Blackened Blue with a Diamond Piqué-inspired finish, PANTONE Lily White with a silk-inspired finish, and the special FIFA World Cup 2026 Edition.

Should you buy the Motorola Razr Fold?

At Rs 1,49,999, the Razr Fold is priced similarly to the Vivo X Fold5 and is cheaper than the Galaxy Z Fold7. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, triple 50MP camera system, 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, and seven years of software updates are all strong arguments. The Bose-tuned audio and the 165Hz cover display are genuine differentiators in this form factor.

The competition is primarily Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series, which has years of refinement and a stronger ecosystem of foldable-optimised apps. Whether Motorola has closed that gap in day-to-day software experience and hinge durability is the question our full review will answer. On paper, however, the Razr Fold makes a compelling case, especially with the free one-time screen replacement offer for early buyers, which addresses what has traditionally been the biggest anxiety around owning a foldable.
