A stylish, cohesive full-sized foldable with excellent displays, strong cameras and good battery life, held back by dated performance and a high price.
Tactile, comfortable design that feels approachable in the hand
Strong triple 50MP camera system
Bright, large inner and outer displays
Good battery life and fast charging
Bundled Moto Pen Ultra stylus
Relatively bulky and heavy for a foldable
Stylus not properly integrated into the phone
Older Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, less cutting-edge performance
Motorola's first notebook-style foldable is called the best foldable on the market, undercutting Samsung on price and offering more base storage, with a near-invisible crease and strong battery life.
Record-setting battery life for a foldable
Rugged design with IP48/IP49 ratings
Fast 80W wired charging
Lower price than Galaxy Z Fold 7 with 512GB base storage
Useful Desk and Laptop modes
Weird app transitions between main and cover displays
Motorola's first book-style foldable is a major success, with excellent screens, cameras, battery life and native stylus support, though it is thicker and heavier than the Z Fold 7.
Big, bright inner and outer displays over 6,000 nits
Excellent battery life, over 24 hours in video test
Sharp, saturated main camera photos
Native stylus support
Fast charging up to 80W wired
Thicker and heavier than Galaxy Z Fold 7
No built-in stylus storage; pen costs $100 extra
Lackluster AI features compared to rivals
IP49 dust resistance falls short of Pixel Pro Fold
Side fingerprint sensor in narrow lock key is awkward
Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
