Motorola has been a long-serving player in the foldable phone space. But unlike Samsung, the company has so far stuck exclusively to clamshell designs with its Moto Razr lineup.
That may finally be changing. Tipster Evan Blass, via X, shared the first renders of the Moto Razr Fold, officially Motorola’s first book-style foldable.
At first glance, the Fold has a visual appearance similar to Motorola’s Edge series. The squircle camera module is left-aligned and consists of three lenses and an LED light. The black variant appears to have a carbon-fiber finish, while the white model could feature a faux-leather finish.
There’s also an extra button on the left side of the device. If Motorola follows the same design logic as the Razr 60 Ultra, this button could be dedicated to one-tap AI features to speed up everyday interactions.
It’s not a wide foldable
What’s particularly interesting is the form factor Motorola seems to be going with. Rather than adopting a wider design like Google’s Pixel Fold, the Razr Fold appears closer to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series. The outer display is tall and narrow, while the inner screen looks almost square.
That layout works well for multitasking, side-by-side apps, and portrait browsing. The downside, as usual, is video playback. You’ll likely see black bars at the top and bottom when watching most content.
Apple, reportedly for this very reason, is said to be leaning toward a wider form factor for its upcoming iPhone Fold.
Still, Motorola may have one advantage here: stylus support. The Razr Fold is expected to support pen input, something Samsung has gradually walked back on newer foldables in its push to make devices thinner.The stylus is reportedly called the Moto Pen Ultra and will come in Pantone’s Color of the Year shade, Cloud Dancer.
