Motorola’s next Razr launch is Tuesday, April 29 — not Wednesday — and the event is focused on its 2026 Razr flip-phone lineup. (androidauthority.com) (9to5google.com) Motorola has teased a new Razr family, and leaks point to three clamshell models: Razr, Razr Plus, and Razr Ultra. One report said U.S. sales could begin May 21, with the base model priced at $799. (androidauthority.com 1) (androidauthority.com 2) (digitaltrends.com) The “Razr Fold” is a separate device, and Motorola already showed it off in January at Lenovo Tech World during CES 2026. It is Motorola’s first book-style foldable phone, the kind that opens like a small tablet rather than a flip phone. (news.lenovo.com) (motorolanews.com) Motorola’s official materials say the Razr Fold has a 6.6-inch outer display and an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO inner screen. The company also says it supports the Moto Pen Ultra and uses three 50-megapixel rear cameras. (motorolanews.com) (motorola.com) What Motorola has not publicly locked down in those January and March announcements is broad U.S. pricing and availability for the Razr Fold. Motorola’s own product page still frames the device as “coming soon,” while outside reports have tied a fuller retail rollout to summer 2026. (motorola.com) (phonearena.com) That means Tuesday’s event matters mostly as Motorola’s annual Razr refresh, not as the debut of its first book-style foldable. The confusion comes from Motorola using the Razr name for both its long-running flip line and the newer tablet-style Fold. (androidauthority.com) (motorolanews.com) Motorola is trying to widen its foldable lineup as larger rivals crowd the category. CNET reported that analysts expect Apple to enter the segment as early as September, which could compress the window for Android foldable launches this year. (cnet.com) Samsung is also dealing with a new legal challenge tied to foldables. Court records show Lepton Computing sued Samsung Electronics and Samsung Electronics America in the Eastern District of Texas on April 23, accusing the company of infringing nine patents and seeking an injunction. (justia.com) (pacermonitor.com) So the clean version is this: Motorola launches new Razr flip phones on April 29, while its Razr Fold has already been announced and is still waiting on broader release details.
