Unfolded, the Razr Fold measures 144.5 x 160 x 4.6mm, making it one of the thinnest open foldables you can buy right now, at least in the US, where phones like the Honor Magic V5 aren’t available. Closed, it measures 160 x 73.6 x 10mm and weighs 243 grams, which is mostly in line with other modern foldable phones. In hand, it feels substantial without being bulky, although the weight is noticeable during longer one-handed sessions.
Motorola has stayed true to its house style when it comes to materials. There’s no glass here. Actual back material will vary depending on the color variant you get. I have the Lily White model, which has a slightly textured back, while the Pantone Blackened Blue model is supposed to have a more bumpy feel (I haven’t held that one in person). I actually like the feel of it, and since it’s not glass it won’t shatter if it lands on its back.
The hinge is a teardrop stainless steel design with a titanium interior plate and it closes with what is effectively a gapless fold. This is good news for keeping debris out and good news for the crease, which is present to the touch but fades quickly with everyday use. I’ve reviewed many foldable phones at this point, and I never felt like the Razr Fold was cheap or shoddy in its hinge construction, but it also wasn’t necessarily premium in feel than any other modern foldable. Basically it felt like you could easily break it if you wanted to, but if you’re careful enough it shouldn’t break on its own.
Perhaps one of the most striking design elements is the large camera module on the back. Perhaps counterintuitively, I like seeing big camera modules on foldable phones. It’s not because I like big camera modules, it’s because the trend among most foldable phone makers has been to give their foldable phones worse cameras than their best panel phones in an effort to keep the device thin. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s camera is closer to the Pixel 10 than the Pixel 10 Pro, and the same goes for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25 compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In terms of design, of course, it adds a bit of extra weight to the phone and makes it a bit heavy. We will see later if this pays off.
The outer display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 3, which Motorola says is the first use of this material on a smartphone and is significantly tougher than its predecessors. However, I haven’t tested this. The IP rating is IP48/IP49, which means it should survive limited exposure to water, but you should be careful of dust or other small particles. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold, on the other hand, has an IP68 rating, which is much more rugged.
As for the rest of the hardware, the Razr Fold has a volume rocker and power button on the right edge, and the power button doubles as a fingerprint sensor, which seems quick and accurate. On the bottom is a USB-C port and on the left edge is an additional AI button which unfortunately isn’t as customizable as I would have liked.
Generally, the Motorola Razr Fold is well made and feels durable. It’s neither too bulky nor too thick, which is always nice, and it clearly wouldn’t have been a starter with so many increasingly thin foldable phones currently available.
