Motorola Razr Fold

Motorola took the most iconic flip phone of all time and turned it into something that actually makes sense in 2025. The Razr Fold is a foldable phone built for pen-first productivity—you can literally write on the screen with a stylus, and it transforms your handwriting into clean, editable text. That's the pitch, anyway.

Here's the thing: Motorola has been making phones since before most of you were born. They invented the Razr in 2004 and it became the best-selling flip phone in history—over 130 million units. Now they're trying to do it again with folding screens. The G7 source page they provided doesn't have much on the Razr Fold specifically, but the Chicago team knows a thing or two about building phones that people actually want to hold.

The "pen-first" angle is interesting. Most foldables are trying to be mini-tablets. Motorola is saying "actually, write on it." Whether that resonates with anyone who isn't a doctor or lawyer remains to be seen.

Chicago-based Motorola Mobility is owned by Lenovo. They moved headquarters there after the Google acquisition in 2014. The Razr Fold is their bid to stay relevant in a market dominated by Samsung and Apple—and honestly, they need something fresh because the last few Razr releases haven't exactly set the world on fire.
