Motorola Razr (2026) Review Calls Foldable a Mainstream Pick Despite Price

Android Authority's Oct. 7 review says the $799.99 Motorola Razr (2026) remains a strong mainstream clamshell foldable, citing its cover screen, hinge and daily performance while noting few spec changes and mid-range chip performance.

The review said the Razr's design is not a major departure from its predecessor, with new colorways being the main visual change. The phone still has a 3.6-inch cover screen, a color-matched aluminum frame and a textured backing. Android Authority described the curved frame as comfortable to hold and said the hinge is the best it has felt on a Razr, comparing it favorably with the 2023 Razr Plus. The device carries an IP48 dust- and water-resistance rating, which the review called less robust than most candy-bar phones but better than nothing.

Android Authority called the cover screen a key differentiator designed to discourage users from unfolding the phone. The review said it works right out of the box, requires no additional software for customization, and lets users add apps without limitation through the apps tile and edit menu. It noted occasional aspect-ratio problems with some apps, but said the display is well suited to social media and quick scrolling. The review also praised the built-in cover-screen minigames as simple time-wasters.

The inner display is a 6.9-inch AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1080p resolution and HDR10+ support. Android Authority said it is bright enough for outdoor use and that videos and games look excellent. The review added that Motorola has shipped some of its favorite smartphone displays in recent years, and the Razr's screen is no exception.

On performance, the review said the Dimensity 7450X chipset paired with 8GB of RAM makes the Razr a decisively mid-range performer. It said the phone handles most everyday tasks without feeling held back, but that demanding games at maximum settings will start to chug. The review noted that Motorola is not charging a mid-range price for the base Razr, though it said folding form factors carry a premium.

Android Authority also contrasted the Razr with Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 8, saying the Razr's curved frame feels more pleasant to hold than the Galaxy Z Flip 8's almost industrial feel. The review concluded that the Razr has no glaring compromises or limitations that would force a recommendation of another device.
