Motorola phones have always been loved for their clean, bloat-free Android experience. However, for years, the company has struggled in two departments: camera quality and software update commitments.

With the Razr Fold, its first book-style foldable, Motorola appears to have addressed both. The phone promises seven years of OS and security updates, and as DXOMARK’s latest results confirm, the camera is no longer a weak point either.

The best foldable camera?

DXOMARK is an independent camera testing lab whose scores are regarded as the gold standard for evaluating smartphone cameras. The lab tested the Razr Fold across photo, video, and zoom performance, and the results were strong across the board.

The phone scored 164, the highest for any foldable smartphone, and earned a Gold Label. It even beat the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7, which scored 145 in DXOMARK’s camera test. According to DXOMARK, the Moto Razr Fold delivered accurate exposure, wide dynamic range, and solid low-light performance.

It also produced balanced colors across various lighting conditions while excelling in telephoto and portrait performance. Even considering the overall smartphone ranking, the Razr Fold ranked in 9th place, scoring only 4 points less than the iPhone 17 Pro.

The hardware behind the score

The Motorola Razr Fold achieved this high score thanks to the powerful camera hardware it packs. The phone is equipped with a sophisticated triple 50MP camera system, including a high-resolution main sensor powered by a Sony LYTIA 828 sensor, a dedicated 3x periscope telephoto lens powered by a Sony LYTIA 600 sensor, and an ultra-wide shooter offering a 122° field of view.

The phone also features a 20MP front-facing camera and a 32MP internal camera, ensuring crisp, high-quality video calls whether it’s folded or unfolded. Powering this camera system is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which not only brings excellent performance but also enables AI processing for images, enhancing colors, reducing noise, and sharpening details.

What this means for users

Foldables have always struggled in the camera department. Motorola has bucked that trend with its Razr Fold by including a truly flagship-grade camera system. If you’ve held off on buying a foldable because of subpar camera performance, the Motorola Razr Fold might finally be worth considering.

Top phone brands should learn how to deck out a flagship without nuking our wallets

Red Magic 11S Pro Full Rear Design

I've always had a soft spot for devices that lean heavily into one aspect as their main identity. From phones that aim to replace a dedicated camera to devices with batteries larger than some power banks, these products know exactly what they were made for. They do not chase the same all-rounder brief as a typical flagship.

Apple is finally removing AI apps that can digitally undress anyone

Apple and Google told by court by court to remove undressing apps

Apple App Store

Apple has removed several AI-powered "nudify" apps from the App Store after coming under legal pressure from San Francisco's city attorney, but the episode raises a much bigger question than whether a handful of apps violated App Store rules.

The real issue is why these apps made it onto one of the world's most tightly controlled app marketplaces in the first place.

Stardust, Flo and other popular period trackers flunk Mozilla’s latest privacy test

Euki scored a perfect 10, whereas Stardust scored a dismal 2 on privacy.

Spot On Period tracker layout

Your period tracker knows some of your most personal health details. The question is whether it keeps them private. Mozilla has published a new privacy review of six popular period tracking apps, ranking them from best to worst based on how they collect, store, and share sensitive reproductive health data.

One app earned a perfect score for keeping data on your device, while another landed at the bottom after researchers found it shared users' health information with an analytics company. These findings arrive at a time when privacy around reproductive health data remains a growing concern, especially after the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US.
