Instead of focusing only on design, the company is aggressively targeting:

• camera performance

The foldable segment remains niche, but competition is intensifying rapidly.

And Motorola clearly wants the Razr Fold to position itself as a premium flagship alternative against Samsung, OnePlus and other foldable players in India.
