The memory crisis has phone prices rising across the board, so an already expensive phone risks becoming a much too expensive phone. That might be what happened to the Razr Fold, which will cost $1,900 when it goes on sale in the US on May 14th. That doesn’t include the Moto Pen Ultra stylus, which costs an additional $100.

Industry Implications

Motorola has dripped out some of the Fold’s specs since it was first previewed at CES, and those early signs indicated that this device wouldn’t be the more affordable folding phone the market so desperately needs. Today’s announcement confirms that: it’ll slot in right between the $1,800 Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold and the $2,000 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 . That puts the Razr Fold in a slightly awkward spot.

It’s noticeably thinner and lighter than the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, but lacks the Pixel’s full dust resistance. The Razr is IP48/IP49 rated, so it’s only rated against “small particles. ” The Galaxy Z Fold 7 isn’t dust-resistant either, but it’s a bit slimmer than the Razr.

There’s one potential saving grace: a 6,000mAh silicon-carbon battery, giving it a significantly higher capacity than either of the other two devices. Battery life on the Fold 7 and 10 Pro Fold is fine, not great, and the Razr Fold’s could be amazing. That wouldn’t be a first for a book-style foldable , but it would be a first for one sold in North America.

This advance offers important signals about the future of the sector, and the tech world is watching closely.
