Motorola appears to be exploring a new form factor for its upcoming foldable phones. In an image of the invitation for Motorola's Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2026) invitation, the Lenovo-owned company has hinted at a potential foldable device that might feature a book-style foldable design. The upcoming device could be similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, and compete with the book-style foldable. So far, Motorola has only launched vertically folding devices under its Razr lineup. The company released its Motorola Razr 60 series earlier this year and Razr 50 models in 2024.

Motorola Could Introduce a Book-Style Foldable at CES 2026

Several journalists and X users, including Android Headlines editor Alex Maxham, received a package from Motorola along with a CES 2026 invitation. Inside the box is an invitation to the company's CES display (Lenovo Tech World) and a wooden flip book. The box bears the text, 'Every fold reveals a possibility.'

The package strongly hints at a new form factor in development. The invite reads, "We're getting ready to unfold a new perspective at Lenovo Tech World, set to take place on January 6." This indicates that Motorola could be gearing up to unveil a book-style foldable smartphone during the annual trade show.

So far, Motorola's foldable phones have only included vertically folding clamshell-style phones. This development comes at a time when the foldable market is intensifying, with rivals like Samsung and Huawei launching the triple-screen folding smartphone. Motorola's purported foldable smartphone will compete with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series and Google's Pixel Fold smartphones.
