Lenovo Group Ltd.’s Motorola unveiled its latest lineup of folding phones, including the company’s first book-style model that will compete with several big-name rivals, including Samsung Electronics Co. and Apple Inc., whose maiden foldable is set to arrive this fall.

The 2026 Razr series includes four models: the Razr Fold ($1,900), Razr Ultra ($1,500), Razr+ ($1,100) and Razr ($800). All of the new devices will go on sale May 21, with preorders beginning May 14. The Ultra and Razr+ have both gone up by $200 compared with last year’s starting prices, while the entry-level Razr is $100 more expensive, another sign of the price pressures phone makers are facing as a result of rising component prices.
