I was reminded of a scene from the movie Margin Call when the Motorola Razr Fold was first announced. Jeremy Irons’ character explained that there are three ways to get ahead in business. You can be first, be smarter than everyone else, or you can cheat.
Motorola wasn’t going to be first to market with a book-style foldable, so that was out. I figured the company would come up with decent hardware, but I thought the only way for Motorola to have a chance would be the equivalent of cheating — cut the price so deeply that the value was irresistible.
As it turns out, Motorola went with door number two, delivering what I believe is the best book-style foldable you can buy. However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is no slouch, and Google’s done plenty to upgrade its third-gen foldable. I’ve used both, and deciding between them is tricky.

What I like about the Motorola Razr Fold

I didn’t know what to expect when I got my hands on the Motorola Razr Fold. I knew I loved Motorola’s other foldable Razrs, but asking people to shell out close to $2,000 for a book-style fold is another category entirely. To my surprise, I love it. Motorola hit all the right notes to make a high-quality foldable, and it’s the one I recommend to most people. The design is pleasant enough, and I appreciate the textured back. It gives me the confidence to use the phone without a case, which is fantastic because I can’t stand the cases made for folding phones.
It’s not a light phone by any means, and if you’ve held a Galaxy Z Fold 7, you’ll immediately feel all of the Razr Fold’s 243g. Still, I approve of the design, and the Razr Fold feels excellent in the hand. I wouldn’t typically discuss the cameras on a Motorola phone this high up in a comparison, but the Razr Fold is an exception. Its triple 50MP camera setup is fantastic, making the Razr Fold the ideal device for people who always complain about not getting flagship-worthy cameras on expensive folding phones.
It produces saturated images with deep contrast — exactly what I want to post on social media. I get more use out of the 3x telephoto than I thought I would, and you won’t be disappointed with its performance.
