Motorola is delaying the launch of the foldable Razr smartphone in North America due to high demand and limited supply.

The $1,500 handset, announced in November, was supposed to become available for pre-order in December and begin shipping to customers in January. “Motorola has decided to adjust Razr’s presale and launch timing to better meet consumer demand,” the Lenovo Group Ltd. unit said Friday in a statement. “We are working to determine the appropriate quantity and schedule to ensure that more consumers have access to Razr at launch.”

The company did not say when the phone would go on sale, but said it does not anticipate a “significant shift” from the original launch timeline.

Other companies, such as Samsung Electronics Co., have struggled to launch foldable devices on time due to issues with screens failing. Motorola did not mention any technical issues for its delay.

The foldable Razr looks similar to the original model from the early 2000s, but runs Google’s Android operating system and features touchscreens inside and out.
