While Samsung and Motorola have both been prominent fixtures in the American foldable landscape for several years, their strategies have followed different paths. Samsung has long provided a dual-track lineup of both book-style and clamshell devices. In contrast, Motorola focused exclusively on the flip-phone format until this year.
That changed at the CES 2026 tech exhibition in Las Vegas, where Motorola unveiled the Motorola Razr Fold, its first book-style foldable designed to challenge the traditional leaders of the category.
2The stylus edge and display dominance
When comparing the screens, the Razr Fold makes a bold statement. It offers a slightly larger internal display and a marginally bigger cover screen than its primary rival, giving users more real estate for multitasking. However, the most significant advantage lies in functionality: stylus support.
While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 lacks stylus support and the Z Fold 8, arriving later this yea,r is expected to bring back this feature, the Razr Fold already embraces this tool. For a device with such a massive screen, the ability to use a pen for sketching or taking notes is a major productivity win.
