Khaberni - It seems that Motorola is on the verge of joining the foldable phone market with a book-like design, aiming to compete with companies such as "Samsung" and "Google," as the company sent out exciting promotional materials strongly indicating the unveiling of a new foldable phone during its press conference at the "CES 2026" consumer electronics show.
"Motorola" already owns several flip-style foldable phones within its portfolio, where the current version of its renowned "Razr" series has relied on a flip folding design since 2019.
"Motorola" launched the latest three models of its "Razer" foldable phones in April 2025. However, it now seems that the brand will venture into the traditional design of foldable phones, and it won't be long before this phone appears, according to a report by "Android Central," which specializes in technology news, reviewed by "Alarabiya Business."
An invitation sent by "Motorola" to attend the "CES 2026" contained two main hints that the company is preparing to enter this category of foldable phones.
The first hint is the use of the word "unfold" in the phrase "We are preparing to unveil (unfold) new horizons." This indicates that Motorola is working on a new design for foldable phones.
A foldable phone with a book-like design makes a lot of sense, as it represents another popular design of foldable phones introduced by Motorola's competitors, but what reinforces the speculation is the presence of a lamp attached to the invitation that opens like a book, where its illuminating pages branch out to confirm this design.
As with all teaser announcements, one should approach the speculations with caution - it's very easy to misinterpret Motorola's hints - but the launch of a new foldable phone that competes with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems very logical for this tech brand.
The excitement increases towards the likelihood of this happening as Motorola specializes in affordably priced foldable phones compared to its competitors, although it also manufactures some high-specification and costly foldable phones.
Foldable phones have always been expensive—the Galaxy Z Fold 7 phone costs up to $1,999.99—but "Motorola" might offer a strong option at a lower price in the book-like foldable phone category.
It is expected that Motorola's foldable phone will cost more than $1,000, but it is expected to be priced less than the "Z Fold 7," which would be ideal for those who do not want to spend much money but wish to have a tablet-sized screen that can fold to fit in a pocket.
