EDITORIAL: While Motorola StarTac created the flip (clamshell) phone category back in 1996, the Razr Fold is actually Motorola's first-ever fold phone. And they really nailed it with this one: excellent build and screens, segment-leading battery life and the imaging setup straight out of Motorola Signature - company's best phone. Like other fold phones, this one adds multi-window capacity to it's inner screen in addition to tons of other useful features (AI and otherwise). This phone comes with a rechargeable stylus (works on both screens) - a true indication of company's ambitions...
PROs
excellent build with Gorilla Glass Ceramic protection, very fast SD 8 Gen 5 with UFS 4.1 performance, 36hr long (less on inner screen) endurance from a 6000mAh Si-C battery with 60min 80W (50W wireless) charging, two >1400nits bright >400ppi 120Hz LTPO P-OLED screens with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, (water immersion) IP49 protection, excellent imaging from 50MP 24mm OIS main + 50MP 70mm OIS telephoto + 50MP 12mm ultrawide (all with PDAF) setup, average non-AF 20MP & 32MP selfies (but you'll use the main camera for selfies, right?), very good video recording, excellent and feature loaded HelloUI stock-like version of Android with 7 years of updates, fast USB-C 3.2 port with Display Port 1.2, stylus bundled in the box

EDITORIAL: Honor skipped the V4 iteration and put out Magic V5 - the thinnest FOLD phone in the world. At 8.8mm total thickness, the USB-C port barely fits in and to make future foldables any thinner, the device would have to drop the USB port altogether. Honor also dust protection, increased water resistance, put in a bigger battery and improved the back cameras. A great upgrade overall.
PROs
2025 thinnest foldable, 217g light and very strong build, fast SD 8 Elite with UFS4.0 performance, 24hr endurance from 5820mAh Si-C battery with sub-1hr 66W charging (50W wireless), >400ppi LTPO AMOLED screens with Dolby Vision, IP59 dust and water protection, great pics from 50MP OIS PDAF main + 64MP periscope tele + 50MP AF ultrawide, 7 years of OS updates, desktop replacement feature, fast USB-C 3.1 with Display Port tech
CONs
only a day of battery life, no AF on either 20MP selfie nor on the periscope tele (!), no SDmemory slot
