Next year is just around the corner, and with it comes CES – the world’s biggest annual technology show – where many big brands will unveil what they think will be the next big thing. Sometimes they can’t help but spoil their own announcements. For example, Motorola’s elaborate CES invitation suggests that it will launch a Motorola Fold phone.
Motorola already makes foldables – the flip-style Motorola Razr line – but it hasn’t given us a book-like foldable yet. That seems about to change, given two key clues from his invitation (via Android Central).
The first is a note that says: “We are preparing to unveil new perspectives.” This suggests that some sort of new foldable style is in the works at Motorola.
A book-shaped foldable would make a lot of sense, given that this is the other common foldable phone model we’ve seen from Motorola’s competitors, but to add to the speculation, there’s a lamp included with the invite that opens like a book, with it unfolding light-up pages to hammer out the design.
As with all teasers, we have to take speculation with a pinch of salt – it’s very easy to misinterpret Motorola’s hints – but a new foldable phone to rival the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 makes too much sense for the tech brand for us not to be a little excited that it’s a very real possibility.
Especially because Motorola specializes in more budget-friendly foldables than its competitors, although it also makes premium foldables.
Fold phones have always been quite expensive – the Z Fold 7 costs $1,999.99 / £1,799 / AU$2,899 – but Motorola could offer a solid lower-cost option. We still expect a Motorola Fold to cost upwards of $1,000 / £1,000 / AU$2,000, but I’m hoping it’ll be somewhere between that and the Z Fold 7 – perfect for people who don’t want to demolish their bank account but want a tablet-sized screen that can fold into your pocket.
I love foldables like the Z Fold 7, but I admit that they are very expensive.
