Today, Motorola celebrates the new motorola razr fold receiving a score of 164 from DXOMARK, earning the Gold Label for imaging excellence and making it the best camera on a foldable smartphone.3 Both the motorola razr fold and the recently-launched motorola signature hold this distinction, which is designated for devices that provide a best-in-class1 camera experience. The motorola razr fold excelled in tests surrounding accurate exposure, wide dynamic range and low-light conditions, making Motorola’s first book-style foldable smartphone a device without compromise.
About DXOMARK and the Camera Quality Evaluation Protocol
DXOMARK is an independent, world-renowned technology quality-evaluation laboratory that assesses consumer electronics and professional product performance. Rankings are based on rigorous scientific testing and perceptual analysis. In determining the final score for the motorola razr fold, DXOMARK put the phone through its DXOMARK Camera test suite, measuring photo, video and zoom quality performance from a user viewpoint.
According to DXOMARK’s testing, the camera on the motorola razr fold stood out due to its realistic exposure and wide dynamic range, balanced colors across all lighting conditions, high levels of detail and low image noise. It also offered nice depth estimation and accurate skin tones. The razr fold set a new benchmark for zoom on a foldable, pairing a dedicated 3x periscope telephoto camera with good detail, vibrant color, and a refined texture-to-noise balance that rivals traditional flagship devices. Portraits were very strong considering the 85mm equivalent focal length, making the subject pop while still looking true-to-life, and the ultra-wide delivered a strong performance capturing a wild field of view.
The exceptional camera experience behind the motorola razr fold
These results are due to the motorola razr fold’s mission to redefine what’s possible on a foldable device. Its camera system was built to wow—from three 50MP2 cameras, to pro-grade Sony LYTIA™ lenses, to 8K Dolby Vision® recording and Pantone™ Validated color and skin tones.4 Combined with AI-enhanced software, the camera on the motorola razr fold leaves a lasting impression and high-quality results.
“This outstanding camera system was rooted in true collaboration and consumer insights,” Leonard Gao, Motorola Executive Director of Software and Camera, said. “We gathered data from our global research teams, our R&D hubs across the United States, Brazil, China and India and even DXOMARK engineer experts to understand what camera qualities matter most to users. Through our learnings, we were able to create a comprehensive, state-of-the-art camera experience on our first book-style foldable smartphone. It fuses functionality with innovative hardware, intelligent AI optimization and Pantone™ Validated4 color accuracy for consistent, groundbreaking images.”
Specifically, the motorola razr fold sports a highly impressive camera system that’s equipped with a:
- 50MP main sensor that’s complemented by the 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 828 sensor, Motorola’s largest 50MP sensor yet. It leverages advanced AI-powered imaging to produce ultra-clear, rich photos with Pantone™ Validated4 color and skin tones.
- 50MP periscope telephoto lens that features the advanced 50MP Sony LYTIA™ 600 sensor, offering excellent resolution even from distance. Users can zoom in 3x and get extreme optical clarity. They can also turn to 100x Super Zoom Pro that uses advanced AI-powered imaging for even sharper details. All shots are blur-free, too, due to OIS.
- 50MP ultrawide lens2 that offers a vast 122° field of view, fitting full vantage points and groups of people into the frame, while built-in Macro Vision produces detailed close-ups.
- 20MP front camera with Quad Pixel technology delivers sharper selfies with richer contrast — no matter the lighting.
- 32MP internal camera with Quad Pixel technology5 unlocks new creative flexibility, perfect for video calls or hands-free shots in laptop mode.
When users want to add action to their camera roll, the motorola razr fold offers exceptional options for video recording. Users can choose to film in stunning 8K, and edit and post across platforms without affecting quality. They’ll also notice how Dolby Vision® imaging technology, embraced by the world’s top filmmakers and storytellers, adds drama and intrigue to each video, filling each frame with vibrant colors, deep contrast and noticeable precision.
Advanced AI-powered imagery also works in the background to enhance colors, reduce noise and sharpen details. The Photo Enhancement Engine algorithm is central to this intelligence, bringing photos on the motorola razr fold to life. It uses an algorithm to expand dynamic range, create software-based bokeh and reduce noise in low-light conditions. The Snapdragon® 8 Gen 5 Mobile Platform on the motorola razr fold also aids in this process as it uses AI to boost camera quality and efficiency simultaneously.
Additionally, when posting on social media, consumers can look forward to third-party platform optimization that preserves the same Ultra HDR image quality they see on their phone. And it doesn’t matter if they’re taking photos directly in the Instagram app or uploading from their gallery; the photos maintain the same level of quality and clarity.
From its big-screen brilliance to pocketable appeal, the new motorola razr fold is a fresh canvas for users to work, create and play. This exceptional camera system on a foldable device marks a major milestone in smartphone photography and Motorola’s history of form factor innovation. The DXOMARK Gold Badge recognition is a testament to that legacy and progression.
