Motorola Razr Fold surpasses Galaxy Z Fold7 in DxOMark camera analysis
Earlier today, Motorola announced the Razr Fold at Mobile World Congress 2026 (MWC 2026) in Barcelona. In short, Motorola's first book-style foldable will take on established competitors with a 6,000 mAh battery capacity, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and the promise of seven year's worth of updates. Motorola boasted that the Razr Fold has excellent cameras too, which early DxOMark analysis underlines.
In summary, Motorola equips the Razr Fold with a Sony LYT-828 primary camera with an f/2.0 aperture, a 1/1.28-inch optical format and a 50 MP native output. Likewise, the smartphone's telephoto and ultra-wide-angle cameras also output at 50 MP, albeit with 1/1.95-inch and 1/2.76-inch optical formats, respectively. Also, Motorola installs 20 MP cover and 32 MP internal selfie cameras, although neither form part of DxOMark's analysis.
As the table below shows, the Razr Fold comes up just short of modern flagships like the iPhone 17 Pro, Find X9 Pro and the Xiaomi 17 Ultra with its score of 164 points. Meanwhile, the Honor Magic V5 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 are way down on this list (curr. $1,809 on Amazon). In part, this score is helped by the Razr Fold's strong telephoto and ultra-wide-angle cameras, which are often inferior to their primary counterparts on foldables.
The Razr Fold delivers good exposure, dynamic range and detail across all cameras too. Motorola's foldable is not without camera shortcomings, though. According to DxOMark, the Razr Fold suffers from occasional image noise and colour fringing even in daylight conditions. Also, the device struggles to adapt its autofocus and white balance when shooting videos. Please see our launch article for more details about Motorola's first book-style foldable.
