Motorola Opens Razr Fold Preorders With Big Trade-In Deals

Aggressive preorder deals signal Motorola’s push for a bigger share of U.S. foldables.

Overview

  • Preorders for the 2026 Razr lineup, including the first book-style Razr Fold, went live Thursday, with U.S. units slated to ship May 21.
  • The Razr Fold carries a $1,899 MSRP and headlines flagship specs such as a 6,000mAh battery, an 8.1-inch inner display, and Moto Pen Ultra stylus support.
  • Motorola is offering a $500 trade-in bonus plus a free Moto Pen Ultra and a year of Moto Care, while Best Buy lists up to $800 for eligible trade-ins.
  • Early hands-on reports praise battery life, cameras, and refined software, yet note a thicker, heavier build than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, and one reviewer reported a charging fault that Motorola is addressing with a replacement unit.
  • In the U.K., Mobiles.co.uk is bundling a speaker, smartwatch, earbuds, and a Bluetooth tracker at no extra cost on iD Mobile plans, underscoring a retail push to cut the real cost of adoption in a crowded foldable market.
