Motorola has unveiled its first book-style foldable smartphone as part of its expanded Razr lineup. The Razr Fold includes native stylus support, a feature absent from Samsung's latest flagship foldable.

The new device marks Motorola's entry into the competitive book-style foldable segment, joining Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series and other manufacturers in the category. The Razr Fold's stylus integration sets it apart from Samsung's current offerings, providing users with input capability without requiring third-party accessories or workarounds. This positions the device as a direct alternative for productivity-focused consumers. The expanded Razr family indicates Motorola's commitment to the foldable market beyond its signature clamshell design. The move comes as foldable smartphones gain mainstream adoption and competition intensifies among major manufacturers. Specifications and pricing details for the Razr Fold remain to be announced. The device's stylus capabilities and form factor suggest it will target users seeking both portability and screen real estate for creative and professional tasks.
