Motorola Razr Fold Review: Design and Build

The Razr Fold measures just 4.7mm when open, making it one of the slimmest foldables around. When closed, it's about 10mm thick, which is close to a regular phone. It's not quite as thin as the Honor Magic V6 at 9mm, but it's still pocketable.

Camera Performance: The Real Story

The Razr Fold's camera system is its headline feature. It includes a 50MP ultra-wide sensor with a 122-degree field of view, which captures more of the scene without distortion. In our testing, photos were sharp and colors were accurate, even in challenging lighting.

While the cameras aren't perfect—low-light performance could be better—they are a cut above what we've seen on most foldables. The Razr Fold's camera setup rivals that of Ultra-branded flagships, which is saying something for a foldable.
