At MWC 2026, Motorola launched a ton of particulars in regards to the upcoming Motorola Razr Fold, the corporate’s first book-style foldable. Particulars included the fee within the European market at €1,999, which is a part of a bundle of the Moto Razr Fold and the Moto Pen Extremely.
Notably, the Razr Fold helps stylus enter on each the interior and outer screens, a bonus of competing fashions by Samsung and Google. Motorola additionally launched a lot of the gadget’s specs, as I am going to go over under.

The surface display will likely be a 6.6-inch pOLED display with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3. The interior display will likely be an enormous 8.1 inches, making it the most important in North America. It is going to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor and include 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.
The cameras would be the identical ones seen within the Motorola Signature — 50-megapixel sensors throughout the ultrawide, predominant, and 3x optical zoom. Excluding the processor, these are distinctive specs throughout the board. Precise efficiency and digicam high quality should wait till we get a full evaluate of the gadget.
Motorola additionally launched a FIFA version of the Motorola Razr Fold, which enhances the FIFA version flip from CES. It is an enormous partnership with the preferred sport on the earth in a yr the place the world will play for a title. All of that’s extraordinarily effectively performed.
The $2,000 elephant within the room
The €1,999 worth (which converts to roughly $2,320, not contemplating region-based changes) raised eyebrows, although, and that is to be anticipated. It’s an eye-wateringly excessive worth, particularly for Motorola’s first trip of the book-style foldable gate. However total, I can dwell with the worth for a number of causes.
To begin with, as talked about, the €1,999 worth is a bundle that features a €100 accent, so it is actually €1,899. The Pen Extremely is a nifty little gadget that, sadly, doesn’t silo within the cellphone itself, however it comes with its personal carrying case. It is an lively stylus with some cool options by itself, comparable to strain sensitivity, a quick-action button, and a sensible menu of choices on demand.

Second, whereas the processor leaves one thing to be desired (and actually not that a lot), there are in any other case a whole lot of firsts within the cellphone, together with the primary triple 50-megapixel digicam set on a North American foldable, the most important and brightest display, and the most important battery. That may be a 6,000mAh silicon carbon battery in there, and it is able to as much as 80W of quick charging, which matches OnePlus’s 2023 (and solely) foldable, the OnePlus Open.

The cellphone is a tad thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and has a battery that’s over 40% bigger and prices sooner. This cellphone isn’t any slouch. I took the Honor Magic V5 to IFA 2025 and CES 2026 as a result of I wished a book-style foldable with lengthy battery life, and the Fold 7 did not match that invoice. The Motorola Razr Fold completely will.
Third, this cellphone will probably have a really balanced, all-around nice digicam expertise. Sure, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a 200-megapixel predominant sensor, however after that, issues fall off fairly rapidly. In the meantime, the three 50-megapixel cameras ought to give a extra constant all-around expertise.
Persistence is vital
Lastly, there’s one incontrovertible fact to think about. This can be a Motorola cellphone, and the corporate’s M.O. has lengthy been to launch a cellphone at a excessive worth and put it on a everlasting sale a number of weeks later. On the time of publication, the Moto Razr Extremely, which has an MSRP of $1,499, may be had for simply $799. So should you do not wish to pay €1,999, wait a few weeks.
After all, all of that is moot since we’ve not acquired US pricing or availability dates. So, for the second, there isn’t any motive to lose any sleep over this price ticket. If you wish to lose sleep, achieve this since you’re excited that an incredible foldable cellphone is coming to the US.
