The Motorola Razr Fold now has an official launch date for Europe: the manufacturer’s first book-style foldable will be available in the eurozone and the UK on April 11. This means that Motorola is ahead of the competition in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and is positioning itself as a serious alternative in the premium foldable market.
Motorola Razr Fold: European launch confirmed for April 11
Motorola has confirmed the launch of the Razr Fold via its official UK account on X (formerly Twitter). In the Eurozone, the device will be available for 1,999 euros, in the UK the price is 1,799.99 pounds. Interesting fact: Pre-orderers will receive a free Moto Pen Ultra stylus and an exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026 experience.
An exact date for the launch in North America, India or other markets has not yet been set. There, the Razr Fold was last listed on Amazon for 1,889 US dollars. This puts the price in a similar region to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which starts at around 1,899 US dollars.

Display power: Two extremely bright screens
The enormous brightness of both displays is particularly striking. With up to 6,200 nits for the inner display and 6,000 nits for the outer display, the Razr Fold clearly outperforms the competition – for comparison: the Pixel 10 Fold Pro achieves a maximum of 3,000 nits. Both panels support HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, which is a big plus, especially for streaming and media consumption.
The external display even runs at 165 Hz in certain scenarios and is protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3. This means that the Razr Fold can be used to its full potential even without unfolding it.
Camera system with DXOMARK Gold rating
Motorola relies on a triple 50 MP camera system with Sony sensors for the Razr Fold. The main camera uses the large Sony LYT-828 with a 1/1.28-inch sensor and optical image stabilization. The periscope telephoto lens with the Sony LYT-600 offers 3x optical zoom and achieves up to 100x super zoom via AI processing. DXOMARK has already awarded the camera system a gold rating – as the best camera system among foldables.
Video recordings are possible in 8K at 30 fps or 4K at 120 fps, including Dolby Vision support. This also positions the Razr Fold as a serious tool for content creators.
Huge battery thanks to silicon-carbon technology
The 6,000 mAh battery is a real highlight. Despite its slim design of just 4.6 mm (when unfolded), the high capacity is made possible by silicon-carbon technology, which enables a higher energy density. By comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 only has 4,400 mAh. Motorola promises that a 12-minute charge via the 80W TurboPower charger is enough for more than 12 hours of use.
Motorola Razr Fold vs. the competition: Honor, Oppo and Samsung
The Razr Fold is competing in an increasingly competitive market. Although the Honor Magic V6 and the Oppo Find N6 are already available in China, they do not yet have an international launch date. Motorola has a clear advantage here: the global rollout will begin in Europe, while North America and other markets are set to follow in the coming months.
With the Moto Pen Ultra Stylus, which offers pressure sensitivity and palm recognition, the Razr Fold also stands out as a productive tool – comparable to Samsung’s S Pen, but included at launch. Motorola is also launching a limited FIFA World Cup 2026 edition with a 24-carat gold logo.
Conclusion: The Motorola Razr Fold could shake up the foldable market
With the Razr Fold, Motorola delivers an impressive overall package: brighter displays, a larger battery and a triple 50 MP camera system with DXOMARK Gold rating speak for themselves. The European launch date of April 11 also gives Motorola a time advantage over Honor and Oppo, which do not yet offer their book-style foldables outside of China. Whether the Razr Fold can seriously compete with the Galaxy Z Fold7 remains to be seen – but the technical specifications look promising.
