Motorola’s upcoming Razr Fold now has a price tag, due to a preorder page that went live on the company’s UK site. It’s listed at £1,800 for the lily white and blackened blue models with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage; there are no other storage options. It also includes the Moto Pen Ultra accessory.
Orders will be shipped on May 6.
Additionally, through this preorder form, Motorola is offering a free Moto Watch and a pair of Moto Buds Loop, as well as a £220 discount applied at checkout through May 3, bringing the price down to £1,580.
Motorola’s Razr Fold phone appeared in a UK preorder form.
That £1,800 base price converts to $2,443 in the US, which seems pretty steep and may not be what it ends up costing. To compare, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 with the same 512GB of storage starts at £2,000 in the UK but is currently available from Samsung in the US for $1,800, down from $2,200. The Google Pixel 10 Fold, also with 512GB, goes for £1,869 in the UK. At Google’s US online store, it currently costs $1,619.
With memory prices rising due to a worldwide shortage of components used to make RAM, it’s hard to predict what the Razr Fold will cost in the US.
However, there’s clearly an appetite for expensive foldable phones, as shown by the $2,900 Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold that sold out in minutes and stopped being offered for sale after three months (it’s due to return soon). But it’s more likely that the Razr Fold will be priced comparatively to the other two-panel folding phones.
We got our first hands-on with the book-style foldable Razr at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in January.
“In my hand, the Razr Fold felt similar to the Z Fold 7 in terms of its sleekness,” wrote CNET Senior Reporter Abrar Al-Heeti. “The incremental size-up compared with Samsung’s and Google’s foldables is hardly noticeable, but it should place it safely within their orbit.”
