At Lenovo Tech Day 2026, held during the annual CES trade show in the United States, Motorola made a significant leap forward, expanding its portfolio beyond its iconic clamshell foldables. The event served as a platform for the brand to announce its first foray into the large-screen foldable market, introduce a unified AI ecosystem, and refresh its lineup of accessories, signaling a bold new direction for the company.
The Razr Fold: Motorola's First Book-Style Foldable
The headline announcement was the Motorola Razr Fold, marking the brand's official entry into the competitive book-style foldable segment. This device represents a strategic shift, offering an 8.1-inch LTPO foldable inner display with a 2K resolution for tablet-like productivity and media consumption. When closed, a substantial 6.6-inch cover screen allows for full smartphone functionality, reducing the need to constantly open the device. Photography is a clear focus, featuring a triple 50-megapixel rear camera system. This setup includes a Sony LYTIA main sensor, an ultra-wide lens with macro capabilities, and a periscope telephoto camera offering 3x optical zoom. For selfies, a 32-megapixel shooter sits on the cover, while a 20-megapixel camera is housed within the inner display. The device will also support the newly announced Moto Pen Ultra stylus for enhanced creativity and note-taking, and will launch in Pantone Blackened Blue and Pantone Lily White colorways in summer 2026.

Qira: A Unified AI Assistant Ecosystem
Perhaps the most forward-looking announcement was Qira, a unified AI assistant developed jointly by Lenovo and Motorola. Positioned as a system-level, context-aware AI, Qira is designed to create a seamless cross-device experience. It integrates various existing AI tools from both brands, such as moto AI and Lenovo AI Now, into a single platform accessible via a wake phrase, a dedicated hardware key, or an on-screen pill. Motorola plans to roll out Qira to select Lenovo devices in the first quarter of 2026, with availability on Motorola devices to follow. Alongside Qira, the company showcased Project Maxwell, a proof-of-concept wearable from its 312 Labs. This "AI Perceptive Companion" is designed to continuously process visual, audio, and environmental data to provide real-time, context-aware insights, hinting at a future of more ambient and integrated artificial intelligence.

Priced at USD 700, it will be available exclusively in the US and Canada starting February 12, 2026.

Rounding out the announcements were the Moto Pen Ultra stylus with sub-5ms latency and the Moto Tag 2, an upgraded Bluetooth tracker with UWB support and a claimed 500-day battery life.
Pricing and Market Positioning
While full global pricing for the Razr Fold is still under wraps, industry sources suggest a starting price around USD 1,500, positioning it squarely against other premium foldables. The special edition Razr 60 is set at USD 700, and the broader accessory lineup is expected to be competitively priced within their respective categories. Motorola's CES 2026 showcase demonstrates a comprehensive strategy: competing directly in the high-end foldable market with the Razr Fold, building a cohesive AI-powered software ecosystem with Qira, and strengthening its ecosystem with a refreshed suite of watches, audio gear, and productivity tools. The success of this multi-pronged approach will depend on the execution and market reception as these products launch throughout the year.
