Design, build quality, handling
The Motorola Razr Fold is not the thinnest or the lightest foldable on the market, but it sure looks has an unique charm to it. It has a certain class, a signature trait for Motorola, which makes it universally likable.
Let’s start with the build, where Motorola has cut no corners when making the Razr Fold. It is the first smartphone to use the latest Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3 shield by Corning for the cover screen. The hinge is made of stainless steel and has the shape of a droplet to reduce tension and increase its durability. The chassis, including the frame and the camera island, is made of brushed aluminum.
The back of the Razr Fold is worth exploring in detail. It is primarily made of high-quality vegan leather, but the texture is different depending on the colorway you get. The iconic Edge trait – the slowly raised camera housing – is evident, too. But unlike on the Edge series, the Razr Fold housing ends with an aluminum plate, making it look more serious.
Our Lily White version feels like silk, with a matte finish, and it’s incredibly smudge resistant. It looks a bit like wood, but feels like an expensive fabric.
The Blackened Blue model has a grippier diamond-pattern texture that feels like rubber and looks like industrial material.
The foldable screen has an ultra-thin glass on top of it and a titanium screen place for distributing the inner pressure and reducing the crease. We can confirm that the Razr Fold feel virtually crease-less, which is great. Unless you specifically search for it, your fingers will have a hard time detecting it.
Sure, the crease can be visible under different angles, though we can’t see you needing to use those in your everyday life.
The Razr Fold is IP48 and IP49 rated for basic dust, but complete water and pressurized water endurance. There are foldables with higher dust resistance on the market, so the IP4X rating is a step behind the best.
The 6.6-inch cover OLED cover screen has rounded edges and even bezels on all sides. It has a small perforation to make way for the 32MP selfie camera.
Above this screen is a barely visible earpiece.
The back of the Razr Fold contains the square camera island – a large metal piece, its sides slowly rising from the back.
Here you can see the three 50MP cameras – main, 3x telephoto, ultrawide, plus the LED flash. Each of these four features a beautiful dial-shaped ring around it. You can also spot one of the microphones around here.
And before we open this Fold, we need to mention the brushed stainless-steel hinge.
When unfolded, the most interesting piece of hardware is the 8.1-inch foldable screen. While theoretically bezel-less, there is the usual plastic enclosure around it. The panel also has a punch hole for the 20MP front camera around the top right corner.
The crease can’t be felt unless you try really hard, but it can be seen if you look at it from an angle.
As far as foldable screens go, this one falls into the cream of the crop class, probably bested only by the Oppo Find N6 experience.
The thin aluminum frame has a lot of features.
The AI key is alone on the left and you can customize its behavior.
The right side has the volume and the power/lock keys. The fingerprint scanner is embedded within the power key, it’s always-on, and super fast and reliable.
The top of the Razr Fold has one of the speakers and two microphones.
The bottom has the other speaker, two more microphones, the USB-C port, and the dual-SIM tray. You can also opt to use an eSIM or even two eSIMs instead of the physical slots.
The USB connector supports Display Port 1.2 and high-speed USB 3.2 transfers.
The Motorola Razr Fold measures 160.1 x 73.6 x 10.1 mm and 160.1 x 144.5 x 4.7 mm when opened. It weighs 243 grams, making it the heaviest of the current crop of large foldables.
Having handled the Galaxy Z Fold7, the Find N6, and the Magic V6, we do not consider the Razr Fold to be a bulky or oversized device. Yes, it is a bit heavier, but it doesn’t feel inferior to the aforementioned phones.
Magic V6 and Razr Fold
We did like the Motorola Razr Fold’s hardware. In fact, we consider it the best looking foldable right now even if it’s busier than the Galaxy Z Fold7. Maybe it’s because of the signature Edge look. Or the barely noticeable curves around the cover screen and the back panel, which gives a hint of a premium you have a hard time pinpointing.
