Big screen brilliance and entertainment meets pocketable perfection

Slim and lightweight yet strong to the core, motorola razr fold is designed for the rhythm of modern life, built to move effortlessly through work, play, and everything in between. Despite packing an industry-leading camera system and a massive-capacity battery, razr fold is just 4.6mm thin when open and 9.9mm thin when closed. It feels impossibly lightweight yet reassuringly solid in hand, anchored by a precision-engineered stainless steel teardrop hinge that guides every open and close, protecting the display and delivering long-lasting strength you can trust, day after day.

Beneath the display, a titanium inner screen plate helps distribute pressure evenly across the fold, allowing the screen to return to its original shape after every open and close, maintaining consistency over time. Combined with Ultra-Thin Glass and an Anti-Shock Film, this advanced design is built to last while preserving a smooth, creaseless look. On the outside, razr fold is the world's first smartphone featuring Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 3. In Motorola internal testing, razr fold achieved over 75% better drop performance compared to previous-generation devices,⁵ proving that cutting-edge foldable design can also be incredibly resilient.

Open razr fold up to experience a spacious, vibrant display made for multitasking, gaming, and cinematic streaming. With the brightest interior display of any foldable on the market,⁶ razr fold lets users enjoy their phone to the fullest even in bright, direct sunlight. Enjoy audio with Dolby Atmos®, which reveals greater depth, clarity and details for an immersive audio experience. And as the only foldable with Sound by Bose technology, razr's stereo speakers are expertly EQ-tuned to deliver rich, engaging sound.

Close razr fold, and it transforms into a compact, stylish companion that fits seamlessly into any moment. And there are more ways to use razr fold that go way beyond just open or closed. Fold into laptop mode for comfortable typing and multitasking or fold into tent mode to watch content. With fluid task switching, natural split-screen workflows, and more room to enjoy entertainment, razr fold turns daily flow into second nature. Its adaptive design doubles as a steady tripod for hands-free capture, and the fold-forward form makes multi-display productivity smoother and more flexible than ever.

razr fold comes in two refined finishes, Pantone® Blackened Blue, featuring a woven diamond piqué-inspired finish engineered for exceptional durability, and Pantone® Lily White, wrapped in a silk-inspired finish with a soft sheen and elevated warmth. Each finish reflects a different facet of contemporary elegance. With gently rounded edges and a premium, balanced build, razr fold feels luxurious whether working, creating with the stylus, or shifting effortlessly between open and closed.
