Motorola Razr Fold Debuts at MWC 2026 with Triple 50MP Camera and Massive 6,000mAh Battery In A Thin Body

We first saw the Razr Fold at CES, but at MWC, Motorola shared the complete specifications and feature set of its first book-style foldable. The device is impressive and is going head-to-head with the Honor Magic V6 launched yesterday and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Instead of chasing the absolute thinnest profile, Motorola is prioritizing two things: camera hardware and battery capacity.

Thin Chassis Fitting a Large Battery 

The Razr Fold measures 4.6mm open and 9.9mm closed, weighing 244g. That makes it slightly thicker than the Honor Magic V6, which comes in around 4.4mm open and under 9mm closed, but still comfortably thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, which sits at roughly 5.5mm open and around 12mm closed. These dimensions exclude the thickness of the camera module

To be fair, I find Samsung’s design more balanced and visually refined, largely because the camera module protrudes less than the Razr Fold. I guess that Motorola had to trade some elegance for a more ambitious camera system. 

Motorola pairs that chassis with an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO internal display (2484 × 2232, 120Hz, 6200 nits peak) and a 6.6-inch external pOLED panel (2520 × 1080, 165Hz, 6000 nits peak). Both support HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and 10-bit color.

Motorola fits a 6000mAh pack, which is unusually large for this class. Honor, to be fair, also made battery a top feature yesterday. As we reported in our Magic V6 coverage, Honor packed a massive 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery in the Magic V6 ultrathin chassis. Motorola’s approach is slightly less extreme on capacity, but still among the largest in the category.

Charging is equally aggressive: 80W wired, 50W wireless, and 5W reverse charging.

The Best Camera System on a Large Foldable 

The star of the Moto show is the powerful camera system, which deserves recognition at a time when OEMs tend to scale back camera hardware to offset the cost of large dual displays that significantly increase the bill of materials.

Here is the full camera stack:

Rear Cameras

• 50MP main (Sony LYTIA 828, f/1.6, OIS)
• 50MP periscope telephoto (3x optical zoom, OIS, up to 100x AI zoom)
• 50MP ultrawide (122° field of view, macro support)

Cover Display Camera

• 32MP (Quad Pixel, f/2.4)

Internal Display Camera

• 20MP (Quad Pixel, f/2.4)

Video capture supports up to 8K at 30fps, with Dolby Vision recording.

Unlike many foldables that mix high and mid-tier sensors, Motorola uses 50MP across all three rear focal lengths. That symmetry is rare in this segment.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 still blends resolutions across its camera modules, and while Samsung’s processing pipeline is mature, the hardware stack does not look as uniform on paper. Honor’s Magic V6 focuses heavily on thinness and battery innovation, but its camera configuration is less aggressive across all focal lengths than Motorola’s triple-50MP setup.

The dedicated 3x periscope module is especially important. Telephoto is often where foldables compromise due to space constraints. Motorola appears to have decided not to.

Motorola earned a DXOMARK Gold label for the system — not a guarantee of real-world superiority, but it does signal that the hardware is being taken seriously in lab testing.

Within the large-format foldable category, this is arguably the most balanced camera array available.

Performance and Longevity

The Razr Fold runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB storage. Motorola is promising seven Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, putting it in line with the industry’s longest support commitments.

There is also support for Moto Pen Ultra (sold separately), adding stylus functionality for note-taking and creative work — a feature traditionally associated with Samsung’s Fold line.

Price and Availability

Motorola confirmed European pricing at €1,999, placing it directly in flagship foldable territory. Availability in Europe begins in the coming weeks, with North America and other regions to follow.

Conclusion

Honor is pushing the limits of thinness and battery density. Samsung leans on ecosystem maturity, enterprise security, and multitasking polish. Motorola is betting that strong camera hardware and a large battery inside a still-thin chassis is the formula that will win buyers over.

The Razr Fold is one of the most complete large foldables I have seen this year.
