But it might not make it to the US.

Motorola just expanded its Razr brand beyond flip phones with a new book-style foldable dubbed the Razr Fold. The device packs a massive 8.1-inch folding screen and flagship-grade specs, but it’s not the only device turning heads at Motorola’s CES booth.

Alongside the new foldable phone, Motorola also unveiled a slim flagship phone called the Motorola Signature at the trade show. While not as thin as Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge or Apple’s iPhone Air, the Signature is slimmer than most other flagship phones on the market, measuring just 6.99mm.

Despite the slim form factor, the device offers impressive specs, including a 6.8-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 165Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and up to 1TB of storage. Most notably, it houses a 5,200mAh silicon-carbon battery that supports 90W wired and 50W wireless fast charging.

For imaging, the Motorola Signature features a quad 50MP camera setup consisting of a 50MP Sony LYT-828 main sensor, a 50MP LYT-600 3x telephoto sensor, a 50MP ultrawide sensor with macro support, and a 50MP LYT-500 selfie shooter. Other notable features include Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the display, an IP68/69 rating for dust and water resistance, and a MIL-STD-810H certification.

The Signature is one of Motorola’s first phones to offer 7 years of software support

On the software front, the device runs Motorola’s Hello UX on top of Android 16. The Signature is one of the company’s first phones to offer seven Android OS upgrades and seven years of security updates, making it a great option for buyers who plan to hold onto their devices long term.

As for pricing, Motorola says that the Signature will soon be available in select European markets for €999. There’s no word on US availability yet, but the phone is set to launch in the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific regions in the coming months.

I took the Motorola Razr Fold for a street photography spin, and came away genuinely impressed

Motorola's Razr Fold didn't fold under pressure in the summer street photography test.

Motorola Razr Fold and its reflection on a table.

Foldable phones have always had a few quirks and compromises to achieve their unique form factor. For the cool folding mechanism in a portable body, the first thing that usually takes a hit is the photography experience. Sure, you can now find some decent main cameras, like on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses are often tiny and weaker in comparison.

So when the Razr Fold was unveiled, Motorola’s first book-style folding phone itself wasn’t what caught my attention; it was the impressive camera hardware. Barring a few limited options from Chinese brands, foldables still aren’t exactly known for their camera chops. But I’ve seen these cameras before. The company recently had a stint with flagships once again, building the Motorola Signature with the best specs it had to offer. Somehow, Motorola has packed a lot of the same hardware that made it great into the Razr Fold.

I was skeptical about the Motorola Razr Fold, but it rose above the first-gen curse handsomely

The Razr Fold is Motorola's first book-style foldable, but it sure doesn't feel like one

First-generation products usually come with an invisible warning label, which is especially true for foldable devices. They can look exciting and ambitious, but there is often a rough edge somewhere. It could be the distracting crease on the flexing screen or a hinge that feels unsure. Even the design can feel fragile while giving off a premium look.

So, it’s pretty impressive that the Motorola Razr Fold does not give off that vibe. This is Motorola’s first-ever book-style foldable, after years of building its foldable identity with its recognizable Razr series of flip phones. Naturally, you would expect some first-gen caution here. In this category, brands like Samsung, Google, and Huawei have already spent years refining their own approaches. And yet, the Razr Fold comes across as unusually settled for a debut.

Android apps can now track your habits and whereabouts to offer task suggestions

Contextual Suggestions is Android acting on what it already knows, and the fact that most users will never find the off switch is exactly why you should pay attention.

Google just flipped a switch on Android phones, and you probably didn’t notice. A feature called Contextual Suggestions is currently rolling out to Android devices, enabled by default.

It does what the name implies: watching what you do, learning your habits, and using the information to provide you with contextual suggestions or actions that you might perform next (via compatible apps).
