Video Review
Summary
The Motorola Razr Fold is Motorola's first book-style foldable and its most productivity-focused smartphone. It unfolds from a conventional 6.56-inch phone into a spacious 8.1-inch 2K canvas capable of running three applications simultaneously. Major strengths include its triple 50MP rear cameras with 3x optical zoom, enormous 6000mAh battery, 80W wired charging, stylus support, Bose-tuned audio and seven-year software commitment. Its main disadvantages are its high price, considerable weight, limited dust protection and use of the non-Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor.
