Motorola Opens Razr Fold Preorders With $1,899 Price and Big Trade-In Bonuses

Steep trade-ins paired with a stylus-ready, big-battery design signal a bid to pry buyers from Samsung and Google.

Overview

  • Motorola’s 2026 Razr lineup, including the first book-style Razr Fold, went up for pre-order Thursday, May 14, with deliveries set for May 21.
  • The Razr Fold is initially sold unlocked through Motorola.com and Best Buy in the U.S., with wider carrier availability promised in the coming months.
  • Launch pricing is $1,899, and early offers include a Motorola trade-in bonus up to $500 with a free Moto Pen Ultra and a year of Moto Care, while Best Buy advertises up to $800 with trade-in.
  • Key specs include a 6,000mAh battery, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, an 8.1-inch inner display and 6.6-inch cover screen at high refresh rates, triple 50MP rear cameras, and Moto Pen Ultra support.
  • Early hands-on reports praise battery life, camera quality, and performance, note a bulkier feel than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, and flag at least one review unit with a charging issue that appeared isolated.
