Though embroiled in numerous political controversies, this year’s World Cup global soccer tournament will still be a celebration of global cooperation and cultural exchange, if not also some mostly harmless competition. The major event—being held across the vast territory of North America—will bring together 48 nations, the most it ever has. To mark the occasion, mobile phone producer Motorola has launched a special edition razor cast in a tone-on-tone green skin, reflecting the look and feel of fields.
Developed as part of of the brand’s Collections by Motorola series, the device’s abstracted yet geometrically patterned exterior is defined by its distinctive curvilinear block pattern, linked together and distinguished by dramatic gradients. This design is as much a performative flip phone—alternative to the overly functional and distracting smart phone most people now use—and a collectable, a mento of this significant happening.
Drawing inspiration from the tournament’s official branding, the idiosyncratic design freeze-frames the qualities of fluid motion, energy, momentum but also—purportedly—the World Cup’s inclusivity. It isn’t just a visual experience however. The special edition phone is finished in a soft-touch vegan leather reminiscent of the apparel and equipment used by players of this sport. The overall scheme carries across the phone’s defining fold for a satisfyingly continuous effect.
Inside it’s collapsable form—now reinforced by a IP48 protection hinge—the razr FIFA World Cup 26 is fully equipped with it’s ever-refined intelligent external display, now accompanied by a an AI-powered camera system. This improved feature is ideal for capturing the often fleeting highlights of an important match or the shared experience of watching it with friends and family. Tying everything together is an optional FIFA Watermark automatically added to photos taken during games.
An upgraded 4500mAh battery ensures the devices stays operational throughout. Adding to the retro-tech aspect of the special edition are a new suite of personalized features, such as an expanded range of exclusive, match-day-conducive wallpapers and ringtones.
“As a global brand with deep roots in communities around the world, we’re honored to be named FIFA’s phone partner for 2026,” says Rudi Kalil, Motorola North America President. “We’ve created a device that brings fans closer to the game than ever before. The Motorola razr FIFA World Cup 26™ Edition combines iconic design with cutting-edge connectivity to make football more engaging, accessible, and immersive.”
