- IP48/IP49 certification means the Motorola Razr Fold can withstand immersion in at least 1.5 meters of fresh water and high-temperature water jets.
- That protection does not extend to fine dust: the “4” rating only blocks particles larger than 1mm, leaving the foldable short of true dustproofing.
- Motorola’s trade-off matches Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, while Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold is cited as dust-tight with an IP68 rating.
- Seven years of OS upgrades add to the Razr Fold’s appeal, strengthening Motorola’s position against rival premium foldables.
Is the Razr Fold's lack of dust protection a fatal flaw for a $1,900 waterproof phone? With its huge battery and seven years of updates, can Motorola finally dethrone Samsung in the foldable market?
