The razr fold is Motorola's book-style foldable, and it competes on battery and charging. Motorola lists a 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which it says is the largest available in a foldable, and 80W TurboPower charging that gives 12+ hours of use in under 10 minutes. The inner screen is 8.1 inches with up to 6200 nits of peak brightness and room for three apps at once. The phone is 4.6 mm thick unfolded, runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with liquid cooling, and carries an IP49 rating, which Motorola says was tested under lab conditions. The main camera uses a 50 MP Sony LYTIA 828 sensor, paired with a 50 MP ultrawide. Motorola promises 7 OS updates and up to 7 years of security updates. At $1,899.99 for 512 GB, with moto buds loop and moto pen ultra included when we checked, it is priced like the Pixel and Galaxy rivals.
