Moto Razr Fold Heads to China — Pre-Reservations Open, Orders Start April 10

Wednesday, 08 April 2026 at 12:55

Motorola's first book-style foldable is coming to China. Pre-reservations are live on Lenovo's online store, with orders opening April 10. The phone has already launched globally at €1,999 — Chinese pricing hasn't been confirmed yet, but a more competitive local price is widely expected.

This is a significant moment. Motorola hasn't competed seriously in China's foldable market before. Now it's stepping directly into a ring with Samsung, OPPO, and Honor.

Key Points

Moto Razr Fold China pre-reservations are live — orders open April 10 in Pearl White and Gentleman's Black, with Moto Pen Ultra included
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 powers the device — this is the standard Gen 5, not the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 found in Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Triple 50MP rear camera system earned a DXOMARK Gold Label with a score of 164 at MWC 2026
8.1-inch 2K LTPO inner display at 120Hz and 6.6-inch 165Hz outer screen — 4.6mm unfolded, 9.9mm folded, 244g total weight
6,000mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging — Moto Pen Ultra stylus support included

China Gets Lenovo's Tianxi AI on Top

The Chinese version of the Razr Fold runs with Lenovo's Tianxi AI assistant — a localization that gives the device proper ecosystem integration for Chinese users rather than a generic global software experience. Cross-device features connect the phone to other Lenovo and Motorola hardware, which matters in a market where Huawei and Xiaomi have built deep connected ecosystems.

Motorola was absent from China's foldable conversation for years. Pre-reservations opening before the full launch confirms the company is taking the market seriously this time.

The Camera Is the Story

Triple 50MP sensors — main, ultra-wide, and 3x periscope telephoto — with a DXOMARK Gold Label is the clearest signal that Motorola built the Razr Fold to be taken seriously as an imaging device. A 164 camera score puts it in competitive territory against dedicated camera flagships. For a first-generation book-style foldable from Motorola, that's a credible result.

The internal display selfie camera sits at 32MP. The outer display gets a 20MP sensor for quick captures without opening the phone.

One Chip Clarification Worth Making

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 here is a capable flagship chip — but it's not the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 that powers the Galaxy S26 Ultra and other top-tier 2026 flagships. It's Qualcomm's value-oriented flagship platform. Real-world performance is strong, but benchmark-focused buyers should note the distinction.
