Motorola Grabs Roughly Half of U.S. Foldable Sales, IDC Finds
IDC attributes the surge to value-focused Razr flip phones as Motorola readies a pricier book-style Razr Fold.
Overview
- IDC analysts Francisco Jeronimo and Nabila Popal disclosed the figures in a video recorded at MWC 2026 after going hands-on with the Razr Fold.
- Motorola accounts for about 50% of U.S. foldable sales and roughly 55% in Latin America, with Europe near 13% and global share around 14%.
- The gains stem from lower-cost Razr flip models, including a base option around $699 and discounted prior generations that broadened access to foldables.
- Motorola plans to enter the book-style segment later this year with the Razr Fold, which has appeared in hands-on previews from MWC 2026.
- Leaked details point to two color options and a reported price near €1,999, while analysts and reports note potential competitive pressure from Samsung, Google, and a rumored Apple foldable.
