Motorola Sets May 13 India Launch for Razr Fold as U.S. Sales Open Next Week

The date signals Motorola’s global push to challenge Samsung with a premium foldable that leans on big battery claims, mixed carrier tie-ups, and an aggressive price.

Overview

  • Motorola confirmed the Razr Fold will debut in India on May 13 on Flipkart, with Pantone Blackened Blue and Lily White finishes and 12GB/256GB or 16GB/512GB options.
  • U.S. preorders start May 14 with shipments on May 21, and unlocked units will be sold through Motorola.com, Amazon, and Best Buy.
  • Carrier availability varies by network, with Verizon, T‑Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile slated to stock it later, AT&T skipping direct sales but supporting the unlocked model, and Cricket carrying it in stores.
  • The device features an 8.1‑inch 2K inner pOLED and 6.6‑inch cover display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, a 6,000mAh silicon‑carbon battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, and triple 50MP rear cameras.
  • Motorola prices the single 16GB/512GB variant at $1,899 in the U.S., positioning it as a lower‑cost rival to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and betting on battery life and fast‑charge claims to sway buyers.
