Motorola’s Galaxy Z Fold rival is coming soon

Motorola is launching 2026 versions of its next series of foldables, the Razr, Razr Plus and Razr Ultra. However, this year is a little different as the company is also introducing a Galaxy Z Fold competitor called the Razer Fold. If you’ve been waiting for Motorola’s first attempt at a book-style foldable, here’s when it will be available.

As a quick summary of what the Razer Fold brings to the table, you’re getting a device with a 6.6-inch external screen and an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO internal display. It also has a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 50MP 3x periscope telephoto camera, 32MP external selfie camera, and 20MP internal camera. The foldable will be available in two color options: Pantone Blackened Blue and Pantone Lily White.

Unlike Europe, which gained access to pre-order on April 15, the US will have to wait a while. However, it won’t be a long wait, as pre-orders will open on May 14th. Only about two weeks are left from now.

When pre-orders open, you will be able to submit your order Motorola website. However, it will also be available for pre-order at Best Buy. The handset will not be cheap, as you will have to pay $1,899 for it. This is the same price that Samsung charged for the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 at launch.

The Razer Fold will officially go on sale on May 21, a week after pre-orders began. On the same day, you will also be able to purchase the Moto Pen Ultra priced at $99. Motorola plans to expand Razr Fold availability to T-Mobile, Xfinity Mobile, and Verizon in the coming months.
