Motorola’s Galaxy Z Fold rival is coming soon

Motorola is launching its next slate of foldables, the 2026 editions of the Razr, Razr Plus, and Razr Ultra. However, this year is a little different as the company is also introducing a Galaxy Z Fold competitor called the Razr Fold. If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on Motorola’s first attempt at a book-style foldable, here’s when it will be available.

As a quick summary of what the Razr Fold brings to the table, you’re getting a device with a 6.6-inch external screen and an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO internal display. It also features a 50MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto camera, a 32MP external selfie camera, and a 20MP internal camera. The foldable will be available in two color options: Pantone Blackened Blue and Pantone Lily White.

Unlike Europe, which gained access to pre-orders on April 15, the US will have to wait a while. However, it won’t be a long wait, as pre-orders will open up on May 14. That’s only about two weeks from now.

When pre-orders start, you’ll be able to submit your order on Motorola’s website. However, it will also be available for pre-order at Best Buy. The handset won’t be cheap, as it will set you back $1,899. That’s the same price Samsung charged for the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 at launch.

The Razr Fold will officially go on sale a week after pre-orders start, on May 21. On the same date, you’ll also be able to pick up the Moto Pen Ultra, priced at $99. Motorola plans to expand Razr Fold availability to T-Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, and Verizon in the coming months.
