It’s only a matter of time before Motorola announces its first book-style foldable, the Motorola Razr Fold. A post by Evan Blass on X contains images that show that it will happen soon.
The tipster included the marketing material of the Motorola book-style foldable in his post, containing the name of the device and some other details, but not the specs. The image states that the phone is coming later this year, with brilliant displays, intelligent AI, and an advanced, boundary-breaking camera system. It also states that more details will be revealed in the coming months.

The Motorola Signature will launch soon
Motorola is hosting an event for the Motorola Signature launch in a few days, January 6 or 7. It’s possible that Motorola plans to confirm the Razr Fold there and probably reveal some details. While we aren’t sure of anything, the company might just want to keep those details to itself until another event later this year. Whatever the case, the company will launch a new phone soon.
So far, all the Motorola Razr foldable devices are clamshells. This will be the first book-style foldable from the company. Finally, a new competition to the other book-style foldables on the market.
Motorola’s foldables have been impressive so far, including the last flagship, the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 . This upcoming Motorola Razr Fold is expected to be just as great.

Samsung’s first trifold device (actually a dual-folding phone) isn’t as strong as its Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable. In an extreme durability test, the Galaxy Z TriFold bent and broke , something no Samsung foldable has ever done as the YouTuber noted. But of course, bending and breaking shouldn’t be a concern with normal phone use except the TriFold is deliberately bent backwards.
The popular YouTuber, JerryRigEverything , subjected the Galaxy Z TriFold to everything a phone could face but to the extreme. The torture test included heat, fire, pressure, scratches, and bends. After facing the heat from a lighter, the pixels on the phone’s foldable OLED screen and the cover screen burnt. The rear plastic panel also got scratched easily. The inner display was no exception as it’s made of a soft panel with a hardness rating of level 2. A fingernail was enough to leave scratches. While its metal frame is strong, it can’t withstand pressure from sharp knives, just like most high-end phones.
With sand in the hinges, folding and unfolding made crunching and crackling sounds. Bending in the wrong direction caused the phone to give warnings and when the bending continued, the device gave up. The phone snapped and the screen died quickly. The phone’s Armour Aluminium frame doesn’t seem as strong as that on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, as it got bent alongside the phone’s antenna line due to being extremely thin.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy Z TriFold is strong and has been rigorously tested based on common everyday usage. The company claims it can withstand 200,000 folds and unfolds, but in a recent third-party test, the Galaxy Z TriFold withstood up to 144,000 folds and unfolds . That’s still enough to last for years but it’s a significant difference from what the company claimed.
JerryRigEverything’s torture tests are usually extreme, as people don’t use their phones under such conditions. Still, it shows that the Galaxy Z TriFold isn’t as strong as the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which fared better in the torture test. At least its frame didn’t bend backwards.
