Motorola Goes Big on Foldables With First Book-Style Phone
Motorola drops its 2026 foldable lineup, entering the book-style game at $1,900 while hiking clamshell prices.
Motorola just dropped its full 2026 foldable roster — and it's swinging hard. The big move: the company's first-ever book-style foldable, priced at $1,900. That barely undercuts Samsung, positioning Motorola as a premium competitor in a segment it previously ignored.
The flip side? Literally. Motorola's clamshell foldables — the format it's actually known for — are getting pricier. Expect price hikes of up to $200 across the clamshell lineup.
It's a bold strategy. Motorola built its foldable reputation on the Razr revival, leaning into nostalgia and relatively accessible pricing. Pushing into book-style territory while simultaneously raising clamshell costs signals the company wants to compete upmarket across the board.
Whether consumers bite at near-Samsung prices without Samsung's ecosystem remains the real question. The foldable wars just got another serious contender.
