Motorola didn’t exactly shout it from the rooftops, but buried in the fine print of its UK pre-order page is a shipping date: May 6.
That makes the Razr Fold — Motorola’s first book-style foldable, departing from its signature flip-phone Razr lineup — one of the most imminent big foldable launches of the year.
Pre-orders are live in the UK and Europe
Motorola is already taking pre-orders across the UK and Europe, and the early incentives are hard to ignore. Every pre-order comes with a free Moto Watch and Moto Buds Loop. UK buyers also get a £220 discount, dropping the price to £1,579.99. European customers save €250, bringing it down to €1,749.99.
No official US release date has been announced yet, though Motorola is collecting registrations on its US site.
What will it cost in the US?
Direct currency conversion puts the UK price around $2,443 and the European price around $2,362 — but those figures won’t translate to US shelf prices. Based on Motorola’s typical pricing patterns, expect a $1,999 starting price stateside, which would put it squarely in line with Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7.
One edge the Razr Fold has at that price: 512GB of storage comes standard on the entry model.
What you’re actually getting
In hands-on time with the device, the Razr Fold feels slightly thicker and heavier than its competition — a fair trade-off for what’s packed inside. The spec sheet is legitimate flagship territory: triple 50MP cameras, a 6,000 mAh battery, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, 16GB RAM, and support for the Moto Pen Ultra stylus.
No obvious compromises. Just a different form factor than Razr fans are used to.
The bigger picture
Motorola is entering the book-style foldable market at a smart moment — ahead of Apple’s widely anticipated iPhone Fold, expected this fall. Whether “Razr” is the right name for a phone that doesn’t flip is a fair question, but the hardware makes a strong case for itself.
The foldable wars are heating up. Motorola just picked a side.
