GoKawiilThe foldable phone space is ushering in a new player: the Motorola Razr Fold. As the company's first book-style handset, it's slated to give other gadgets a run for their money as competition heats up.
That includes Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which debuted in the fall. As one of the more robust foldable phones with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold boasts a fresh design without compromising on durability.
The Razr Fold offers a more fashion-forward approach, with a slightly thinner design than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and vegan leather finishes on the back. It has IP48 and IP49 ratings, meaning it can withstand being submerged in water for 30 minutes as well as high-pressure water jets, but can't handle dust and small particles.
The Razr Fold clocks in at around 4.6mm thick when open and 9.9mm thick when closed, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is 5.2mm thick when open and 10.8mm thick when closed.
Both phones come with a hefty price. The Razr Fold starts at $1,900 for 512GB of storage, while the Pixel 10 Pro Fold starts at $1,799 for 256GB.
In the US, preorders for the Razr Fold begin May 14 at Best Buy and Motorola's site, with availability starting May 21. It'll also be sold through Verizon, T-Mobile and Xfinity Mobile in the coming months.
Here's how the Razr Fold stacks up against the Pixel 10 Pro Fold.
