It\u2019ll go on sale first in Europe, with North America to follow \u201cin the coming months.\u201d Motorola hasn\u2019t confirmed how much it will cost without the stylus, or what the price is in US dollars.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">The Razr Fold will come with a huge 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, making it the first foldable sold in North America to use the technology. It\u2019s not quite the biggest battery on any foldable, but only because Honor went and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/887104\/honor-magic-v6-thinnest-battery-launch-mwc\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced the Magic V6<\/a> with a 6,600mAh battery just yesterday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Ready for a firehose of specs?

The Razr Fold comes with \u201cup to\u201d seven years of OS upgrades and security updates, which has also become something of a standard on flagship phones in the past few years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Overall, the Razr Fold seems to be taking a few cues from foldables outside of the US market, which could push Samsung and Google to innovate their foldables a little more; a welcome development indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Motorola has revealed a little more about its upcoming folding phone, and all signs point toward a premium&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6563,165,6564,3,172,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-499143","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-foldable-phones","9":"tag-mobile","10":"tag-motorola","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-tech","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
