Motorola Razr Fold could finally hit the shelves next month

Motorola's first book-style foldable is coming, and it's bringing big specs, bigger perks, and a launch date that finally makes the wait feel worth it.

After teasing the Razr Fold at CES 2026 and announcing the handset at MWC 2026, Motorola has been teasing prospective buyers without a definitive launch date. However, those who’ve been waiting faithfully can finally breathe, as the Razr Fold has got a real launch date (but there’s a catch). 

How much does the Razr Fold cost?

Motorola is now accepting pre-orders for the Razr Fold in the United Kingdom and Europe, with shipments confirmed for May 6, 2026, making a definitive launch date for the market. For the regions, the phone’s launch price is £1,799.99 (roughly $2,436) for the only variant with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

To lure in early adopters, the brand is also offering a free Moto Watch, Moto Buds Loop, and a £220 upfront discount. This reduces the effective price of the phone from £1,799.99 to £1,579.99 (about $2,138). 

To me, the pricing seems a tad on the higher side, especially since Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, one of the best book-style foldables the market has ever seen, is available in the United Kingdom from £1,799 for the baseline variant with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. 

Proud to bring our tech closer than ever to the moments that matter.

What does the Razr Fold offer?

However, Motorola is offering quite a lot of freebies, making the deal look more attractive than it might be, especially for buyers who already have a smartwatch and TWS earbuds. 

For the price, the Razr Fold offers an 8.1-inch inner foldable screen, a 6.6-inch cover screen, runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (which isn’t Qualcomm’s top-tier chip), and features a 6,000 mAh battery that supports 80W wired fast charging. 

The catch, however, is that Motorola has yet to announce an official pre-order or sales commencement date for interested buyers in the United States. Anyways, we can collectively eye the May 6 launch date, hoping that something is coming for the American buyers around the same time.

Apple’s new Upgrade program launches on Tuesday with major changes
Apple's new leasing program might drop AppleCare coverage from the bundle.

Buying your next Apple device could soon look like leasing a car. Apple is launching its new Apple Upgrade program on Tuesday, July 28, replacing new enrollments in the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program with a lease-based option that covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches.

Backed by Klarna, the program is designed to lower the upfront cost of Apple's premium devices, but it is also raising questions about whether you'll actually own what you're paying for.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on
From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.

I picked four wireless chargers so you can stop making your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch fight over one dorm outlet
The best back-to-school wireless chargers for dorm desks, study spaces, and travel
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

A dorm-room desk can disappear surprisingly quickly beneath a laptop charger, phone cable, Apple Watch puck, and the growing collection of adapters required to power them all. Add textbooks and other academic materials, and finding enough room to study becomes the first assignment of the semester.

A wireless charging stand can consolidate several of those cables into one station. It also gives your phone a dedicated place to sit, which helps when you are checking the time or watching a lecture. Every charger here still needs one connection to the wall. So finding a peripheral that works with all of your gadgets isn't just convenient, it's smart. I picked four models ranging from an inexpensive two-device stand to a fast 25W wireless charger capable of powering an entire Apple setup.
