Motorola Razr Fold Hands-On: Watch Out Samsung, This Phone Has an Edge

Hello sir can you please give me a moto RAZR fold? Using a perfect flagship foldable phone like it is always a dream of mine but unfortunately can’t afford 😔 please sir you can make my dream come true if you want and it’s like nothing for you

512GB is a non-starter, especially since it lacks microssd slot like all the other folderables.
@Akulamenuri
May 4, 2026 at 8:27 am
Not selling a 1TB version is one thing, but saying 512gb is a non-starter is quite the reach.
@Jaige_YT
May 4, 2026 at 9:10 am
Non of them support microsd
@myfakeguuglaccount
May 4, 2026 at 9:51 am
I wasn’t aware 1TB won’t be an option. That’s a show-stopper for me.
@Watch-0w1
May 4, 2026 at 8:32 am
Disappointed. Was hoping motor be the first to realese a 1000$ or less foldable
@smartphonefan5226
May 4, 2026 at 11:25 am
That will never happen.
@Watch-0w1
May 4, 2026 at 2:37 pm
Les likely now with tariff but it can be possible if lower specs and less features @smartphonefan5226
@illuminated_crown
May 4, 2026 at 3:06 pm
@smartphonefan5226at least in the next 5 years.
@S7even_0

Why are we still pushing 8k cameras? 4k 60fps should be standard. Why pay more for a feature that’s really no being utilized?😢
@BruceLeeRoy26
May 4, 2026 at 9:06 am
Because consumers only pay attention to numbers on the spec sheet without actually understanding its function. Higher number means better for people.
@T10107

Their consumer base is international, so they have to compete and stick out.
If they only had a few competitors like in the U.S., then they could have gotten away with doing less. Most Americans are use to small upgrades and color changes.
Next year they should definitely release a “North American model” with lower specs to match Apple’s low specs.
That way they can keep prices the same, increase the profit margins per unit.
Just lower the charging wired/wireless charging rate, decrease the camera quality, decrease the battery capacity, switch back to the old lithium ion batteries, change the color, and the avg U.S. consumer wouldn’t know the difference.

^ case in point, they put useless features to attract gullible buyers instead of decreasing the cost of the phone.
@muckymucks
May 4, 2026 at 8:55 am
I’ll wait for Apple to invent the foldable phone.
@Byebyemeow
May 4, 2026 at 9:08 am
Razr fold looks damn good
@adilator
May 4, 2026 at 9:12 am
$2k should not be accepted as normal.
@gcforreal
May 4, 2026 at 4:03 pm
I said the same too expensive especially when you start considering the compromises . Ppl will pay though the tri fold was selling like hot cakes for over 3k
@1rotimi
May 4, 2026 at 6:03 pm
No one is forcing you to buy it
@TheCyberspaceCowboy
May 4, 2026 at 9:06 pm
Then don’t accept it
@carlbrenda6518

I would be less impressed it’s a first gen foldable. It’s not like they haven’t studied Samsung, Oppo, Honor, Huawei, Google for their versions. If it was a true first gen with no other companies to learn from, I’d agree. However, if you are putting out a folding phone that isn’t as good or even better than what’s already available, then you shouldn’t be in that segment.
@biggeorgeforeman
May 4, 2026 at 10:18 am
Haha like all foldables, see the crease as soon as you opened it.
No thanks, until the middle screen is as strong as a main screen they are just not for me.
@shamartTM
May 4, 2026 at 10:28 am
People said the same thing about the notch on the iPhones when they first started doing that, when it comes to actually using the device itself that does not matter at all
@keithburns5082
May 4, 2026 at 12:04 pm
Get an oppofind n6 there’s no crease I bought one. A few weeks ago coming from fold 7 and it’s a game changer really is the battery the cameras no crease memory glass is amazing
@mkhanman12345
May 4, 2026 at 2:57 pm
You dudes are picky so it will be your loss. Glad I bought the 2024 and will always love it.
@georgewashington3012
May 4, 2026 at 10:39 am
I’ve never had a folding phone like this but suspect the novelty wears off pretty quickly and you’re left with a cumbersome device you kinda regret buying. Looking forward to seeing how Apple approaches theirs this year.
@AdamAve93
May 4, 2026 at 11:35 am
Ive had my fold 5 since launch and let me tell you I use it open more than I ever do closed. Lol the outter screen only gets used for basic texts, calls, and some apps. Inner screen gets used 95% of the time. So it definitely doesnt wear off for me at least. Love that they have pen support.
@lowridinpacker
May 4, 2026 at 2:37 pm
No, Its more like you can’t believe you did not switch sooner and you never want to use a slab phone again.
@mkhanman12345
May 4, 2026 at 2:51 pm
Not a novelty, lol
Love the Raz4 2024.
@robertrichardsjr.9316
May 4, 2026 at 2:55 pm
So you suspect. Get one. See if you have the same sentiment. I love my folds. Had the 4th, now the 5th, and soon the 8th. But idk, Mot’s stylus is enticing.
@YPSOFICTO
May 4, 2026 at 10:58 am
yall need to clean your lenses
@F4MILYACC
May 4, 2026 at 11:45 am
The crease’s so visible. The Oppo Find N6 is the new benchmark.
@keithburns5082
May 4, 2026 at 12:02 pm
Oppo is easily top dog I bought one in UK and this phone bears everything with ease sold my crappy fold 7 that was rubbish
@F4MILYACC
May 4, 2026 at 12:16 pm
@keithburns5082bro where did you buy it from? I want one too!
@lowridinpacker
May 4, 2026 at 2:36 pm
Great but you have to import it and it won’t work on Verizon, they are actively blocking it
@F4MILYACC
May 4, 2026 at 2:45 pm
@lowridinpackercan’t let these Chinese brands in to Murica
@cchan848
May 4, 2026 at 7:54 pm
@lowridinpacker How do you know Verizon is blocking?
@keithburns5082
May 4, 2026 at 12:02 pm
Forgetting about oppo find n6 and honor V6 which crushes anything out and coming out this year I’ve got the oppo and it’s a game changer my fold 7 was embarrassing
@mkhanman12345
May 4, 2026 at 2:49 pm
Love my razr 2024
@keithburns5082
May 4, 2026 at 12:05 pm
People are.looking at the wrong folds
Google Samsung and now Moto none of them are even in the same league as the Oppo find n6 or the magic v6 for that matter
@robertrichardsjr.9316
May 4, 2026 at 2:57 pm
Well for most Americans those are not much of an option. Hence why we don’t focus our attention there.
@Photogeek611
May 4, 2026 at 4:45 pm
That’s nice and all but those phones aren’t sold in every country.
@myew
May 4, 2026 at 12:33 pm
While I’ve always appreciated Motorola’s hardware value, I’ve moved away from them due to the increasing prevalence of firmware/software issues I’ve had with them over the past decade and lack of long term updates. I hate how they have bloatware installed that installs a ton of crappy games and junk in the background, it’s functionally malware. I definitely can’t justify this price as being a good value either.
@BohdanTrotsenko
May 4, 2026 at 1:16 pm
can you please check
* external displays via display port?
* slow-motion
* reported end-of-life, possibility to unlock the bootloader after some time
* stylus
@Elementaliti
May 4, 2026 at 4:45 pm
Every Motorola I’ve had was very easy to unlock the bootloader and root. Most of them had or still have decent ROM support. This is the number one reason I’m leaving Samsung for Motorola again. I am so tired of the Samsung bloat, and locked down system.
@georgewashington3012

Leaving crumpled up notes all over the place for the maid is poor opsec.

Won’t sell
@MochiFromThe4th
May 4, 2026 at 3:53 pm
If it had a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip it would’ve been so perfect, and it would’ve made the Galaxy Z Fold 7 look so pathetic..

You forgot to mention the cameras are rated pretty high by that website everyone harps about… I forget the name
