<\/p>\n\t<\/p>\n
The book-style folding smartphone market continues to grow ahead of the expected launch of the iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra<\/a> later this year. We\u2019ve so far seen models from Oppo<\/a>, Huawei<\/a> and Samsung<\/a>, with a new Motorola device available soon.<\/p>\n We already knew a lot of details about the Motorola Razr Fold, but this now includes the price and launch date in the US \u2026<\/p>\n Samsung has so far been the main player in the so-called book-style folding phone market, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 its latest model. \u201cBook-style\u201d means that the folded device has a similar size to a conventional phone and then opens up into a (smallish) tablet-sized screen.<\/p>\n The upcoming launch of the Motorola Razr Fold has been no secret. Our sister site 9to5Google got a hands-on with it<\/a> almost two months ago. What we didn\u2019t know was when it would go on sale in the US and at what price. Those details have now been revealed.<\/p>\n Pre-orders open on May 14, with delivery on May 21. Pricing is $1,899, which sits between the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 7.<\/p>\n Ben Shoon uses Samsung\u2019s foldable as his daily driver but says that the Razr Fold offers a good balance of feature set and simplicity.<\/p>\n Motorola, with the Razr Fold, has built out an experience that feels very clean yet quite feature-packed. It strikes a really good balance.<\/p>\n Like both Google and Samsung devices, the Razr Fold takes full advantage of Android\u2019s tablet\/foldable optimizations on that inner display. You get a taskbar (which can be visible at all times both with button and gesture navigation), as well as the ability to quickly drop apps into multitasking split-screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond that, you can also pose the foldable at an angle to use \u201claptop mode,\u201d which turns the bottom half of the folded display into a trackpad with a cursor on the top half. Samsung offers the same thing on Galaxy foldables.<\/p>\n It really seems like Motorola has nailed the software<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, the iPhone Ultra is expected to be the most expensive model on the market, with a price of $2,000 or more.<\/p>\n
