After months of rumors, Motorola has officially hinted at its first book-style foldable phone, dubbed the Motorola Fold. The company posted a cryptic Instagram video captioned “A new era is unfolding… See you in Vegas.” The reveal is set for Lenovo’s Tech World presentation on Tuesday, which will be live-streamed on YouTube.

The Leak That Started It All

Evan Blass kicked off the buzz on Sunday by sharing what looked like an internal slide deck. One slide labeled the device the Motorola Razr Fold and promised a release “later this year.” It touted brilliant displays, intelligent AI and an advanced, boundary-breaking camera system.

Following Motorola’s teaser, Blass followed up with purported product shots of both the Fold and a second flagship device.

Motorola’s current foldables stick to the clamshell Motorola Flip design. A book-style form factor would pit the company directly against Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series and Google’s Pixel Fold line.

The teaser video itself shows a foldable handset with four camera lenses-matching details from Blass’s leak of the Signature model.

What Happens Next

Lenovo’s keynote begins Tuesday inside the Las Vegas Sphere, where full specs, pricing and availability are expected to drop. Until then, Motorola fans will have to rely on leaks and teasers for clues.
