AT&T looks ready to drop Moto phones from its stores

Motorola plans to take on Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup later this year with its first book-style Razr foldable. While the specs of the device are not yet known, it appears Motorola will undercut the competition to ensure the Razr Fold stands out. But, more importantly, the foldable might not have as wide a presence in the US market as other foldables.

Leaker Evan Blass claims that the Motorola Razr Fold will supposedly cost $1,500 in the US. If accurate, this aggressive pricing would give the phone a big price advantage over Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold lineup, which starts from $2,000. Even Google’s Pixel 10 Pro Fold officially retails for $1,799, so Moto’s book-style foldable could be $300 cheaper than it.

The lower price may mean that Motorola cuts corners on the internal hardware, skipping Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset in favor of a lower-end variant. Most premium Qualcomm chips are more than powerful enough for daily use, so a non-flagship SoC inside the Razr Fold should not be a cause for concern.

Thankfully, if a leaked internal slide from yesterday is anything to go by, the company does not intend to compromise on the camera setup to keep costs in check.

Moto phones may soon disappear from AT&T stores

While not as big as Samsung or iPhones, Motorola still has a decent presence in the US. You can walk into an AT&T or Verizon store and easily pick up the latest Moto phone.

This may change in 2026, though, with AT&T reportedly considering removing all Moto phones from its stores. If the carrier goes ahead with this move, Moto’s Razr Flip phones would likely be the first to disappear from AT&T stores.

It’s unclear why the carrier plans to directly stop selling Moto phones, but sluggish sales could be a key reason.

While Motorola phones would still work on AT&T’s network, customers would have to purchase them separately and activate them manually. These added steps — and the lack of retail presence in AT&T stores — are likely to push more buyers toward a Samsung or iPhone.

Hopefully, the Razr Fold’s rumored lower price tag would entice people to go through the added steps of getting and using it on AT&T’s network.
