Motorola has teased a new passport-style Razr Fold, just days after Apple launched the iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone. The teaser reveals a shorter and wider foldable design, positioning Motorola alongside Apple and Samsung in the growing race for wide-format foldable smartphones.
Motorola’s Passport-Style Razr Fold Teaser
The teaser, posted on Motorola’s official Instagram and X accounts, begins with the trademarked ‘razr’ logo before showing a quick outline of the upcoming device. The phone appears in a black camouflage casing, obscuring button positions, but its short and wide body is clear. A rectangular rear camera module is visible. The design resembles a passport more than traditional book-style foldables, potentially allowing a larger cover display and a less narrow unfolded profile.
Why It Could Rival Apple
The timing of the teaser is significant—it follows Apple’s iPhone Duo introduction, which also uses a short, wide ‘passport’ form factor. Samsung already adopted a wider format with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 (launched in August with a 3:4 aspect ratio cover screen). Motorola’s teaser points to a three-way competition in the wider foldable segment.
Key Details Yet to Be Revealed
- Official name (Razr Fold 2, Razr Fold Plus, or something else)
- Display specifications and resolution
- Processor, camera sensors, battery
- Fast charging capabilities
- Pricing and release date
Motorola has not confirmed these details, stating only that ‘more info coming.’
Motorola Razr Fold vs New Wide Model
Motorola entered the book-style foldable market in India earlier this year with the existing Razr Fold, priced at ₹1,49,999. That model features a 6.6-inch LTPO pOLED cover display with 165Hz refresh rate and an 8.1-inch inner display with up to 120Hz. The teased passport-style model is expected to complement, not replace, the current Razr Fold.
Expected Launch Timeline
Motorola has not announced a firm launch date. Based on prior patterns, a formal reveal could occur before the end of 2026, potentially ahead of the holiday shopping season. For now, the iPhone Duo and Galaxy Z Fold 8 are confirmed options, while Motorola’s device remains in teaser phase.
